Poland and Polish Discussion Group and Forum

Welcome to the original English language Poland and Polish discussion group board. This message forum is a place where English-speaking Poles, foreigners (expats) living in Poland, and anyone with a genuine interest in Poland can discuss and read the views of others concerning Poland. Subjects include: Polish news and current affairs; Life in Poland; politics; genealogy research; Polish culture and history; advice and tips on visiting Poland; Polish property and investment issues. The aim of our group is to increase awareness of wonderful Poland using the English language and allow and foster the honest debate and exchange of opinions on anything vaguely related to Poland and Polish - positive, negative and/or neutral! This discussion group is not an open-to-all public message board. Membership is by invitation only and therefore given that a fairly limited number of people have full access, it is more of a community blog than a straightforward forum. This application system was brought in to lessen the amount of spam and nonsensical and commercial posts made by casual visitors and off-topic and offensive posts left by a disruptive minority. To ask  a one-off question about Poland or respond to comments made on this board without a password just email us and provided it is at least halfway sensible, we'll post it on the board for all to see and current members will try to respond! All opinions and views expressed on this site are solely those of their respective authors and are not necessarily those of anyone else!

Polish investment creates jobs in US

Polish company to employ 800 in Danville, Virginia

A Polish company that makes mattresses and upholstered furniture will invest $36.3 million to open a manufacturing plant in Danville, Gov. Timothy M. Kaine announced today.

The project will create 813 jobs in an area that has been hit hard by declines in the tobacco, textile and furniture industries.

Com.40 Ltd is a key supplier to Swedish home furnishings retailer IKEA. An IKEA subsidiary is also developing a manufacturing plant in Danville.

Com.40 Ltd is a private company headquartered in Nowe Skalmierzyce, Poland.

I didn't know they produced for IKEA. They also have there own stores here which are a lot more upscale than the Swedish Monster.

They do really nice looking furniture, which would sadly last about 10 minutes once my pets got near it.
