Xeos to develop a facility for 1 billion PLN. The construction works start

The works on Xeos’s aircraft engine service centre are expected to begin in the first week of August. The agreement with the main contractor, Budimex, has been already signed. Located near Środa Śląska, the development project is worth around one billion PLN and expected to provide 600 new workplaces. The facility will become operational in the first quarter of 2019. - It will become a world-class centre for innovation and modern aviation technologies - stresses Xeos Managing Director Thomas Böttger. - We’re going to apply state-of-the-art solutions and technologies with environmental protection in mind. The investment itself is anticipated not only by us but also most of the local community - adds Böttger. Xeos Managing Director cites the public sentiment survey conducted in February by TNS Kantar research institute. It transpires from the report developed by the company that 80 per cent of the people surveyed have very positive feelings about the investment. The first spade in the ground and the cornerstone Krzysztof Krzyżanowski, Budimex Trade Office Director: - We’re planning to complete the project in less than 15 months. The investment, consisting in the development of a modern industrial complex of 26 thousand sq m of floor area, will comprise facilities including the main building housing specialised devices for aircraft engine diagnostics and service, as well as office premises and technical facilities. Moreover, we are going to build about 35 thousand sq m of road surface and parking places. Interestingly, the first spade has been already put in the ground to celebrate the commencement of construction works. The July event was attended by company employees and their families. The official setting of the cornerstone is planned to take place on September 27. Then, the celebration will be visited by guests including representatives of the companies Lufthansa Group and GE Aviation, i.e. the owners of Xeos, as well as government delegates.
