Ontex Group NV, an international provider of personal hygiene solutions in baby care, feminine care and adult care, has opened its new production facility in Radomsko, Poland. The newly built plant will allow the company expand its international presence and better serve the eastern European market. The Radomsko factory is Ontex’s 19th facility in the world.

The Ontex Group has other production facilities in the Czech Republic, Brazil, Germany and Australia, among others.

Until now, Ontex has been serving Poland by importing products from the Czech Republic. The swift development of the Polish market and its advantageous location drove the decision to set up a local facility. Construction of the facility began back in 2017, with an entire investment estimated at €16 million. The 26.000 sqm factory was built on a 110.00 sqm site. It is an environmentally friendly facility of which the products are marked with a green energy certificate. In the next years, the facility will expand its capacity from 1 to 4 production lines. By 2020, Ontex Radomsko plans to employ at least 170 locally recruited employees.

“At Ontex, we strongly believe in a local market approach with manufacturing plants which are strategically located to allow us to respond efficiently and flexibly to consumers and customers’ needs. The new production facility in Radomsko will help us better serve our expanding retailer customer base in the region,” said CEO Charles Bouaziz. “We are very proud to extend our production capacity in Poland, which is testimony to our strong commitment to the Eastern European market.” (PC)
