Corning Optical Communications (Corning) plans to build a new facility for producing fiber optic cable in Poland.

Per a report in Puls Biznesu, the new plant will be located in the town of Mszczonow, in the county of Zyrardow in the Mazowieckie region. The investment will amount to approximately US$93 million, and Corning expects to employ at least 240 people there, โ€œincluding 85 with higher education.โ€

Production began in 2002, and in 2007 the plant was relocated to Strykรณw, where it opened an R&D department. Today, it has almost 3,000 employees in Poland. In 2017, Corning had more than 2,000 employees in Poland, and the next year it opened a second telecom equipment plant in Strykรณw. Corning now accounts for more than 82,200 sq m in two warehousing and production buildings.
