Teleyard to create 1000 new jobs in Szczecin

Belgian company from the steel sector will invest PLN 80 million. The intentional letter was signed on July 29th during a cruise on the Oder river.

In order to proceed with the project in Szczecin Teleskop, a company that has been operating in Poland for over 10 years, will establish a new entity - Teleyard. At the moment Teleskop, in its plants in Kostrzyn on Odrą, employs here 840 persons.

In Szczecin the investor plans to create a modern, European-standard production plant, similar to the Kostrzyn shop floors owned by Teleskop. In order to satisfy needs of its most important clients: Liebherr, Cargotec, Terex and Deme Dreadging, Teleyard is going to manufacture big, over-sized elements and subassemblies of the steel constructions. For these companies Teleskop produces crane and container-crane elements and the devices to dredgers.

Access to the sea is of substantial importance for the realization of the project. Since September 2010 the company has been operating on the area of the Szczecin Shipyard Nowa, where 70 welders are employed. So far around PLN 1 million was invested in order to adopt the shipyard shop floors.
The company declared to contract 100 new employees next year and in four years time - another 300. In 2020 the employment should reach the declared level of 1000 full-time jobs. This is the biggest investment project run in Szczecin in recent years. The investor has already proven to be a reliable employer in Poland.

The Marshal Olgierd Gablewicz has mentioned, that the development plans of the company are closely related to the cooperation with Cargotec, a company which operates in Starogard Szczeciński -The Cargotec project is developing exactly the way we expected. It is not only a big project itself, but it also attracts smaller but also big suppliers.
