Description

Takata-Petri, a steering wheel producer that has closed its Wałbrzych factory in August (14054), has embarked on a recruitment drive to re-hire 100 employees for the Wałbrzych facility.

The company had recently relocated production to Romania. Its projections, however, indicated that labour costs at its new site will be some 30% lower than in Poland.
