Mondelez, the US-based snacks and confectionery group, has announced a 620 million PLN ($169 million) investment to expand its biscuit factory in Płonsk, Poland.
The investment will support a new production line for the Lubisie brand, plus a second line for Milka biscuits, a raw-materials warehouse, and upgrades to site infrastructure. The Płonsk plant will become the group’s largest in Poland, adding 180 employees and expanding production by 30%.
Commenting on the move, Mondelez director of biscuit factories in Poland Adam Kaminski said: “Thanks to its strategic location, Poland today plays a key role in Mondelez International’s supply chain and the investment in Płońsk is an expression of the ambition to be a leader in the snacks market”.
Established in 1976, initially with only three production lines, the Plonsk facility has expanded into a key biscuit centre for Mondelez in Europe, producing 60% of Barni volumes (Lubisie in Poland) as well as manufacturing Milka cookies and additional well-known baked goods.
The expansion is scheduled to be completed next year.
