In December 2009, the Park’s Board began negotiations with BUDMAT Bogdan Więcek, a company operating in the field of production of building materials and construction, which has made a demand on an area of about 10 hectares for the investment worth at least PLN 53 million with the intent to create a minimum of 29 jobs. The investment includes the construction of a comprehensive research and production centre as well as co-operation with local, Polish and international research institutions and universities.
