BSH, the manufacturer of Bosch and Siemens household appliances, has started production at its new small domestic appliances factory in Rudna Wielka near Rzeszów, Poland, following the completion of a nearly PLN 600 million investment.
Developed by Panattoni, the facility spans 73,000 sqm and includes production, warehouse and office space. The project was completed on schedule after construction began in early 2025, and BSH has now completed the transfer of production equipment from its previous nearby location.
The new factory consolidates the company’s operations in the Rzeszów area into a single site, a move expected to improve operational efficiency and support future growth.
“The move to a new, larger factory is another step on the path to our company’s development and the best confirmation that BSH feels very much at home in Poland, in Rzeszów,” said Konrad Pokutycki, CEO of BSH in Poland.
BSH has operated in Poland for 33 years and currently employs nearly 8,000 people across six manufacturing plants, logistics centres, research and development facilities and shared services operations. The company has invested more than €1.5 billion in Poland to date, primarily in Łódź, Wrocław and Rzeszów.
According to Michael Baumeister, Member of the Management Board of BSH’s Small Domestic Appliances Division, the facility will continue producing Bosch Unlimited cordless vacuum cleaners, bagless vacuum cleaners, wet-and-dry cleaning appliances and capsule coffee machines. He also announced that production of a new espresso machine platform will begin at the factory next year.
The site is located within the Rzeszów-Dworzysko Special Economic Zone and benefits from direct access to motorway, expressway and rail infrastructure.
Panattoni delivered the project as a build-to-suit development tailored to BSH’s production requirements.
“The opening of the new BSH factory is a special project not only because of its scale, but above all because of the level of sophistication and the pace of implementation,” said Marek Dobrzycki, Partner at Panattoni. “In less than a year, we delivered a modern production facility designed practically in every detail to meet the needs of one of the most advanced small household appliances factories in the BSH Group.”
The project required coordination between construction works, installation of production lines and relocation of manufacturing operations without interrupting production activities.
The investment is expected to create approximately 1,000 jobs in the Podkarpacie region. In addition to manufacturing operations, BSH also operates a research and development centre in Rzeszów, where engineers and designers work on new small domestic appliance products. The company opened a new R&D facility in the city centre in 2025.
Rzeszów Mayor Konrad Fijołek said the investment strengthens the city’s position as a centre for advanced manufacturing and innovation while creating employment opportunities and supporting regional economic growth.
