Poland (BRAIN)—DT Swiss has opened a new factory in Poznan/Oborniki
“It is a factory that is manufacturing wheels for all over the globe including the North American market,” said Paul Guebara
“Basically we have started this facility to focus on wheels on both the OEM level and also aftermarket.”
The increased demand of wheels designed and developed in Switzerland made it necessary to open the facility at this time
The location is now officially opened for production alongside a new European Service-Center location
This modern facility meets all manufacturing and production standards and spans 5,000 square meters
“The opening of our factory in Poland is an important step to be able to meet increasing demand on high quality DT Swiss wheels and to maintain our leading position in the market in the future"
"The production location within Europe is perfect to guarantee short delivery times and to supply the customers as quickly as possible.”
DT Swiss now has a multi-use building with the potential to expand at any time whenever the market demands changes

26 September] Arriva has commenced two new bus contracts in Poland
including 7 buses in the town of Oborniki and 5 buses in the town of Elbląg
A condition for Arriva to operate these services was to get them up and running as quickly as possible
this was possible because of assistance from Arriva in the Netherlands who
enabled the transfer of 12 buses to Poland
This required a 1000km journey across Germany to ensure the buses were delivered on time to start operations
sharing knowledge and vehicle assets across international borders
to deliver the transport solution that our clients in Poland needed
That we were able to do so in such a short timescale is a significant achievement.”
These latest contract wins reinforce Arriva’s position as one of the leading private transport operators in Poland
Arriva has secured two bus contracts in Warsaw over the past twelve months and this month [September] commenced the introduction of 54 new eco-friendly buses that will help to reduce NOx and CO2 emissions in the Polish capital
Arriva operates 30 trains and 600 buses in Poland
It is the first and only private company to be awarded a rail contract in the country
Arriva is one of the leading providers of passenger transport in Europe
employing 53,000 people and delivering 2 billion passenger journeys a year across 14 European countries
one of the world’s leading passenger and logistics companies
and is responsible for DB's regional passenger transport services outside Germany

The government is making sure that drivers in Poland can travel on comfortable
Road investments also mean new economic development prospects for our country
Work on the S11 section between Koszalin and Bobolice has been completed
Drivers can now fully enjoy the route over 48 km long
It used to take 45 minutes to drive this section
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki attended the opening of the new expressway section
built as part of the Government Programme for the Construction of National Roads by 2030
The S11 expressway increases development and trade opportunities and creates completely new development perspectives for our country
I will be able to say in my talks with investors: come to Central Pomerania
Bobolice–Szczecinek and southwards to Piła
Poznań and further to Silesia – there is a great S11 expressway,” said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki
The new road will take freight lorry traffic out of the current route
which runs through the centre of Koszalin and other towns
The completion of another section will shorten travel times and improve comfort and safety
“This is the way of life for Pomerania
Central Pomerania and Northern Wielkopolska
A great way – there will be better development of these lands
and the local residents will simply be able to enjoy a better life,” added the Polish Prime Minister
The S11 Koszalin–Bobolice expressway was built as part of the Government Programme for the Construction of National Roads by 2030 (with an outlook until 2033)
It used to take 45 minutes to drive the Koszalin–Bobolice route
the S11 is to connect Kolobrzeg to Poznań and further to Silesia
We have recently commissioned nearly 25 km of the Olesno bypass in Opolskie Voivodeship
Drivers are already using this route near Poznań
For the comfort of drivers and the country’s development
the government is building modern and comfortable expressways and motorways
Bypasses are also being constructed to relieve city congestion while increasing safety in built-up areas
In December 2022, we adopted the Government Programme for the Construction of National Roads by 2030 (with an outlook until 2033). A total of PLN 294.4 billion will be allocated to implement investments
This is another edition of the largest road programme in Poland’s history
We will deliver over 6,100 km of new roads
Better road infrastructure is an incentive for investors to set up new workplaces in these locations
“Our great commitment is this: with such arteries
with a great programme of county and municipal roads
we will lead to the elimination of unemployment in many parts of the country
but they would never be there if it were not for the great investments in road infrastructure,” added Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki
