Reports and comments
KPMG Report: American investments in Poland - Partnering to win in the next 100 years!
American companies which invest in Poland are a well-integrated part of the local economy, contributing to its growth and development. The value of American investments in Poland after the first quarter of 2018 could have reached as much as PLN 130 billion. Those companies have created as many as 220 thousand jobs, and the average salary/wage is higher than the corresponding figures for the country’s economy as a whole. An extensive network of business partners reflects the strong integration of American companies, which play a role in value creation within Poland’s economy. Moreover, American companies are also involved in CSR activities: they strive to achieve gender parity among their workforce and actively cooperate with local universities, initiating joint R&D projects.

Do you know that…
Poland is one of the largest glass producers in the world
According to the Association of Employers Polish Glass annually in more than 100 companies we produce about three million tons of glass. The majority of products coming from Polish factories are construction and packaging glass (bottles, jars, candles). The Polish “glassland” is the Podkarpacie region, where the industry has been developing since the 18th century. The rapid development of glassworks took place in the interwar period. At that time, the famous plant in Krosno was established (production was launched in 1924), slightly smaller production also in the nearby Jasło. In the times of the Polish People's Republic, they were united under the name of Krośnieńskie Huty Szkła Krosno. The products of this factory, mostly serial applied glass products, but also hand-decorated dishes and artistic works, have found recognition all over the world.
