The production plant brings more than 350 new jobs, with higher added value, to the Lublin region.

The strategic location in the Lublin region that has a skilled available workforce will allow us to continue in delivering quality and innovative products to our customers at a competitive cost - said Stephane Vedie, President and CEO, Varroc Lighting Systems.
The new manufacturing facility, built in the trend of industry 4.0, meets the highest standards in production logistics, automation and safety in the Lublin region. The premises feature a total area of 25,000 square meters with injection molding machines, hard coating line, metallizing machines, and assembly lines. The new facility will produce a full range of headlamps. Full production capacity of the plant yearly will be up to 3 600 000 headlamps.
- The new facility was designed to achieve the highest levels of efficiency, while still allowing flexibility and variability of production. The combination of most modern technologies and arrangement of working spaces architecture means a strong customization to new orders and increasing capability of the whole company - commented Kristijan Fiket, Vice President for Europe Business Units in Varroc Lighting Systems.
One of the biggest innovations of the new facility is the so-called Virtual Factory that was developed by Varroc engineers. This program will help to strengthen online communication in production in real time.
