Wielton, a manufacturer of semi-trailers, trailers and car bodies, plans to open a factory in Bełchatów, where it will employ 200 people. The factory's investor will be Wielton's subsidiary Wielton Reefer (production of refrigerated trailers), which received financial support for the expansion within the Łódź Special Economic Zone (support from public funds); the construction of the factory is linked to the company's expansion. The new factory will have two production lines: the main one for the production of refrigerated bodies and the second one consisting in a line of components for the production of walls and roofs for van trailers.
