In order to lay the groundwork for further growth, Miele is to set up a second production plant for washing machines, and the choice has fallen on Poland. “Our neighbour has a good infrastructure and offers considerable logistical benefits compared with countries further afield – said Stefan Breit, Executive Director responsible for technical affairs within the Miele Group -. Currently, several potential locations in Poland are under scrutiny and evaluation; a decision is pending shortly. The start of production with a capacity of approx. 250,000 appliances is planned for 2020. The integration of a Polish plant into our production network will give us greater latitude when it comes to our model and pricing policy whilst at the same time safeguarding Miele’s proverbial quality standards”.
