Gates: Driven By Possibility
The decision to establish Gates’s SSC in Wroclaw was made in 2019. The company initially leased premises in the centre of the city. On 1st March 2020, Gates Business Services Europe was officially opened. Today the new centre employs 40 people, but the company plans to engage 120 employees by the end of 2022.
Wrocław Gates Business Services Europe will be the second division of Gates Corporation in Lower Silesia. The company has had a plant in Legnica since 2001.
It produces over 1 million belts there every month: fan belts, serpentine belts, synchronous belts and rubber mixtures.
The biggest distribution centre of Gates in Europe is also located there.
