BIEL, Switzerland (BRAIN) — DT Swiss AG has added a new building at its facility in Poland to increase production capacity and after-sales service.
DT Swiss Polska SP was founded in 2007 in Oborniki, which lies about halfway between Berlin and Warsaw. With the new building, opened in May, the covered production space has almost doubled to 12,000 square meters (130,000 square feet).
The expansion added 80 new workers, bringing the total workforce at the Poland facility to about 300.
"This step was necessary to keep pace with the growing demands in the OE business as well as the end-consumer markets. With the expansion of the production place in Poland DT Swiss is responding to requirements of the bicycle industry of producing closer to sales markets," the company said.
Besides production, the Poland facility provides service and warranty work for the European market.
