Description
Baby Design Group is a Polish company that produces baby carriages, child car seats and cots. In 2016, it decided to reshore in Poland the production it had previously offshored and outsourced in China to take advantage of lower production costs. Since the production costs' gap has been reduced in the last years, the company decided to invest around 4.5 million PLN in its plant in Częstochowa (Poland) and back-shore production activities. The relocation decision will create around 25 new jobs.
