Description
Daikin Manufacturing Poland officially opened a new heat pump production facility in Ksawerów, Łódzkie. The plant has started operations with one production line and currently employs 134 people. Around 800 employees are expected in the first phase, with recruitment still ongoing as production develops.
The factory, built at a cost of around EUR 300 million, produces residential heat pump systems for the European market and strengthens Daikin’s manufacturing network in Europe.
Longer-term employment targets range from more than 2,000 to up to 3,000 employees by 2030. The expansion is linked to growing demand for energy-efficient home appliances and the company’s focus on innovation, including the use of digital technologies and artificial intelligence in production processes.
