Sharp Crystal Park opens in Poland

Sharp Crystal Park has been opened in the mid-northern Polish city of Lysomice, in the presence of Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski and Sharp president Miko Katayama. Its main part is the Sharp factory, producing LCD television sets. It now employs 1,300 people but eventually 3 thousand people will find a job there. The investment cost 44 million euros. Premier Kaczynski said that thanks to this investment Poland will become a leading producer of tv sets in Europe. He also hoped that more foreign investment, especially bringing advanced technology, will be located in Poland. So far, Poland has attracted foreign investment worth a total of 87 million euros, mainly from the EU member states. The Polish premier was glad that Japan is beginning to perceive Poland as an important market.
