A metropolis
A city with a thousand-year history, Wroclaw
reflects Europes complex past. It was
successively ruled by the Piasts, the kings of
Bohemia, and the Habsburgs. As Breslau it was a
great city of the German east, and since 1945 it
has been developing into an important Polish
urban centre. Famous visitors to Wroclaw include
Chopin, Goethe, Brahms, Picasso, Steinbeck, and
Pope John Paul II.
The proximity of national borders favours
economic exchange with the countries of the
European Union. For many years Wroclaw has
maintained close relations with its partner
municipalities Breda (Netherlands), Department
of la Vienne (France), Dresden and Wiesbaden
(Germany), Guadalajara (Mexico), and Ramat Ghan
(Israel).

Business traditions and climate in Wroclaw

• 19th century a vibrant centre of all kinds of
  industry (locomotives from the LinkeHoffman
  works, steam tractors from Heckmann, Ruffers
  steam engines some in service to this day)
• After 1945 an important pioneering centre of
  electronics and computer production (Odra
  computers 1968, PCs using Microsoft software
  1988) Wroclaw-made computers were sold in the
  former Comecon countries and also in Germany,
  China, France, and Turkey.
• 1960s and 1970s a period of rapid development
  in the machine and aircraft industries and also
  in the production of household appliances, which
  in the 1970s were manufactured in cooperation
  with international industrial partners under
  licences from such Western companies as Gorenje,
  Blomberg, Philips, and Mastercook.

30
The early 1990s brought economic changes that
resulted in the creation of favourable conditions
for business activities. New opportunities opened
up for the inflow of foreign capital to Wroclaw.
A number of companies decided to team up with
Wroclaw-based enterprises using the existing
infrastructure. These include- the British
company CUSSONS (chemical industry)- the
Swiss/Swedish group ABB (electrical machinery)-
Swedens de LAVAL (animal husbandry and
agricultural equipment)- MOELNLYCKE (disposable
hygienic products)- VOLVO (automotive
industry)- BOC (industrial gases).
31
In mid-1999, the automotive giant VOLVO built its
second bus factory in Wroclaw, at the cost of USD
60 million. Also in 1999, two Spanish companies,
FAGOR Electrodomesticos and MCC Inversiones S.
Coop., became strategic investors in WROZAMET,
opening the way to the British, Mexican, and
Moroccan markets for household appliances made in
Wroclaw. At the end of 2001 the American
conglomerate 3M acquired a majority stake in
Wroclaw's Viscoplast and now as 3M Poland
manufactures dressing materials at the existing
facility.
In March 2002 shares of POLAR S.A., the leading
manufacturer of household appliances in Poland,
were bought by WHIRLPOOL. In the same year, MACO
PHARMA, one of the worlds largest pharmaceutical
groups, launched the production of medical
materials for infusions, transfusions, and
biotherapy at the Wroclaw Technology Park.
In 2003, the ZCh Zlotniki S.A. is going to sell a
part of its manufacturing facilities to Swedens
Feralco, a supplier of chemicals for water and
wastewater treatment, for the paper industry, and
for other applications. Another major investment
project in Wroclaw is a braking system factory
built by WABCO Polska Sp. z o.o., which has
invested about USD 30 million and employs more
than 700 people.
32
Those companies which chose to purchase land for
greenfield development have generally set up
their facilities on the outskirts of the city.
The largest number of foreign investment projects
are clustered around the motorway junction at
Bielany Wroclawskie. The first geenfield project
there was a chocolate factory built by the
British comprany CADBURY . This was CADBURY's
first investment in Central and Eastern Europe
and its cost was about USD 50 million.
Other companies which have purchased land in
Bielany include Sweden's IKEA, MAKRO CASH CARRY
of the Netherlands, the French company CASTORAMA,
and CARGILL and GENERAL BOTTLERS of the US. A
major investment project is pursued just outside
Wroclaw, at Mirków, by the German-owned company
BOSCH Uklady Hamulcowe Sp. z o.o., which plans
to employ about 1,000 people.
