dedicated to a different client: the Poznan plant makes bumpers for VW, as VW’s production unit is located in the same city, while Fiat and BMW are the main customers for the Gliwice plant bumpers. Products manufactured at the Kleszczow plant go to GM (which owns the Opel factory in neighbouring Gliwice) as well as to Skoda and VW. The company is also open to cooperation with other local manufacturers that have plants in central and southern Europe, for example with Korean car makers, Hyundai and Kia that have their factories in the nearby Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Key factors of success The people factor is very important for the company. It declares that it is working very hard to ensure the best possible career with Plastic Omnium for its employees. “We have an excellent, well-motivated and experienced workforce. Some of our people have been working in the business for 15 years and we are proud that we have a low staff turnover. Even during the hard times we do not reduce our number of employees, but instead move them from one of our plants to another. In 2012 we transferred 70 people from our Gliwice plant to Kleszczow,” says Mr Czajka.

Plastic Omnium Auto Exterior’s success is not only down to the company’s own capabilities, but also to the selection of the right partners. “Plastic Omnium has a policy of centralised purchasing of components. Thanks to this we can take advantage of economies of scale and get the best quality supplies, while maintaining optimal prices. We have five or six Polish companies working for our plants. They all meet Plastic Omnium Auto Exterior’s strict requirements for product n quality,” says Mr Czajka. Visit: www.plasticomnium.pl
