Poland: Austria-based Austrotherm has launched production at its Grodków expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation plant following a capacity expansion. The total cost of the work was Euro5.5m.
Managing director Klaus Haberfellner said “We are particularly proud that, despite the adversities of the coronavirus epidemic, we have now been able to start full operation in Grodków. The demand for our high-quality EPS insulation panels has been growing steadily in Poland for years. This is due on the one hand to rising energy prices and on the other hand to the government smog control renovation subsidies programme launched in 2019.” He added "Thanks to the new plant, we are optimally positioned in terms of capacity to be able to supply our customers promptly."
