A new open-pit mine will be built in Oświęcim

The decision to grant support was issued by the Kraków Technology Park, which previously managed the special economic zone and has now taken over the management of the Polish Investment Zone (PSI) in the Małopolska Province and Jędrzejów County (Świętokrzyskie Province).

Friendly open pit mine. Large investment in machinery park

As Andrzej Kulig, president of KPT, pointed out on Wednesday, thanks to the planned investment, the company is entering a new phase of development related to the creation of an open-pit mine - automated, ecological and employee-friendly.

The new plant will enable the company to increase aggregate extraction and processing, responding to the growing needs of the construction and infrastructure market. The investment worth PLN 17.4 million includes the construction of a production plant, administrative and technical facilities and the purchase of advanced machinery and equipment.

- This is a special investment for us, because it shows (...) a Małopolska company with a long tradition on the industrial map of Małopolska, which wants to develop and has great technological aspirations - emphasized Kulig.

The demand for aggregate used in road construction is growing

Krakowskie Zakłady Eksploatacji Kruszywa, known as Kruszywo SA, was founded in 1951. The company is one of the largest producers of natural aggregate in Poland, particularly active in southern Poland (Małopolska and Silesia). The company specializes in the extraction, processing and sale of natural aggregate, which is a key raw material in the production of ready-mix concrete and prefabricated elements used in construction and road construction. It supplies its products to local and national construction projects, and also cooperates with companies dealing with road infrastructure.

The Polish Investment Zone is a form of support for companies planning investment projects. A new investment within the PSI allows for exemption from CIT or PIT income tax for 12 or 15 years. The investment can be located on private or public land, and both small, medium and large entrepreneurs can apply for support.

The Krakow Technology Park issued 24 decisions to support new investments within the Polish Investment Zone in the first five months of this year. The total value of declared projects is PLN 648 billion, and 188 new jobs will be created.
