Description
Husqvarna, a manufacturer of chainsaws, lawnmowers, four-wheelers, and gardening equipment, will create 150 jobs with the opening of a new factory in Poland, in Mielec. The official approval for setting up the factory was issued just before Easter holidays by the Industrial Development Agency. The first announcement of the case dates, however, to mid January 2010. The factory is to start its operations by the end of 2010 but 150 specialists are to be hired this year. The recruitment process started in May 2010 and its most intensive part will take place after summer vacation.
