These products and solutions are primarily intended for mechanical and plant engineering. The manufacturing facility was officially opened by CEO Chairman Philip Harting and Andreas Conrad, Operations Director, Christian Schumacher, Managing Director of HARTING Customised Solutions (HCS), and Mariusz Matejczyk, Managing Director of HARTING Polska.
"This step strengthens our global presence and positions us even closer to our customers," Harting said. HARTING has been represented in Poland since September 2007. The opening of the production facility now comprises the next logical step. In many ways, the country is a predestined location, as Harting went on to explain. For several years, and especially since the beginning of this decade, Poland had made excellent economic progress that served as a model for other regions in Europe. The unemployment rate was low compared to other countries, as was the inflation rate, he said, adding that economic growth was robust and public debt was declining. "These numbers speak for themselves and have made it easy for us to reach the decision to manufacture in this country," the Board Chairman commented.
The HARTING Technology Group is one of the world’s leading providers of industrial connection technology for the three lifelines of Data, Signal and Power and has 14 production plants and branches in 44 countries. Moreover, the company also produces retail checkout systems, electromagnetic actuators for automotive and industrial series use, charging equipment for electric vehicles, as well as hardware and software for customers and applications in automation technology, mechanical and plant engineering, robotics and transportation engineering. In the 2016/17 business year, some 5,000 employees generated sales of EUR 762 million.
