| Weyerhaeuser builds cellulose fibers processing facility in Gdansk Timber developer and home builder Weyerhaeuser announced that it intends to build a new cellulose fibers processing plant in Gdansk, Poland. City officials in Gdansk, the largest port city in Poland, announced that Weyerhaeuser had won a competitive tender process to purchase 100,000 square meters of land for this project. The land-sale agreement is expected to be completed by year end, and the company plans to break ground for the 17,000-square-meter facility in the spring of 2010. The facility will process cellulose fibers for use in hygiene products. It will employ at least 45 people upon its expected completion in 2012. The facility will be Weyerhaeuser's first cellulose fibers manufacturing plant outside of North America. Procter & Gamble will be the facility's primary customer, and the state-of-art plant will supply P&G operations in Poland and western and eastern Europe. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
