BSH has opened a new manufacturing facility in Rudna Wielka near Rzeszów, adding another major industrial investment to Poland’s Podkarpacie region. The 73,000 sqm plant, developed by Panattoni, forms part of a wider expansion of manufacturing and logistics activity across Rzeszów County.
The factory, which began operations in June, represents an investment of approximately PLN 600 million and is expected to employ around 1,000 people. The site will manufacture Bosch cordless vacuum cleaners, including the Unlimited 10 series, as well as bagless vacuum cleaners, washing machines and Tassimo capsule coffee machines. Production of a new generation of Siemens automatic espresso machines is scheduled to begin next year.
According to local authorities, the investment reflects long-term efforts to improve the region’s attractiveness for manufacturing through infrastructure development, investment site preparation and administrative support.
“Our role is to provide conditions that support investment through road and technical infrastructure, prepared development sites and efficient administrative procedures,” said Krzysztof Jarosz, Governor of Rzeszów County. He added that new investments create employment opportunities and contribute to local economic development.
The BSH project follows a series of industrial and logistics developments across the county involving manufacturers, automotive companies, logistics providers and e-commerce businesses.
Panattoni has delivered approximately 340,000 sqm of industrial and logistics space in Rzeszów County. Its completed projects include Panattoni Park Rzeszów North, developed for the LPP Group, and Panattoni Park Rzeszów West I, where Bosch is among the tenants. Panattoni Park Rzeszów North II is under development with space already leased to logistics operators and an automotive company, while Panattoni Park Rzeszów West II is in the planning stage. Near Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport, industrial facilities occupied by BorgWarner and InPost are also in operation.
Panattoni says the region has attracted growing interest from companies operating across European markets.
“Several years ago, Podkarpacie was primarily viewed as a regional market. Today, companies with European operations are increasingly selecting the region for new investments, while existing occupiers continue to expand their activities,” said Michał Samborski, Head of Development at Panattoni.
Industry representatives note that investment decisions increasingly depend not only on transport links and land availability, but also on the quality of infrastructure, the readiness of development sites and the efficiency of local administrative processes.
Rzeszów County benefits from access to the A4 motorway and the S19 expressway, which forms part of the Via Carpatia transport corridor. The region is also served by rail connections, Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport and a workforce supported by local universities and technical institutions.
According to Panattoni, cooperation between local authorities and investors has also contributed to the area’s development.
“Investors are looking for reliable partners as well as suitable locations. Well-prepared investment sites, effective communication and cooperation throughout the development process are increasingly important factors in investment decisions,” Samborski said.
Local authorities say they intend to continue investing in infrastructure and preparing additional land for economic development as the county seeks to support further industrial and logistics projects.
