Phoenix Contact will use the new production location in Rzeszów for the manufacture and testing of various AC and DC charging cables that are supplied to leading automotive and charging infrastructure manufacturers. Production is scheduled to begin at the start of 2021 and the workforce will increase to over 250 employees within the next few years.

Moreover, IATF-compliant production and business processes will be implemented to ensure that the innovative products meet high quality requirements.
Rzeszów will play a particularly significant role in international collaboration between locations in Germany, Poland, and China
Project manager Christoph Paetzold comments that the chosen location offers many advantages: “Rzeszów is a dynamic and fast-growing city with universities and many well-established industrial companies. The region is also known as Aviation Valley due to the numerous aerospace companies located in the area. We hope that this environment will help ensure the long-term success of our production location.” Situated close to an airport and benefiting from a well-developed road infrastructure, the Science and Technology Park Rzeszów-Dworzysko offers many advantages from a logistics point of view.
The Phoenix Contact Group already has strong ties to Poland through its subsidiary Phoenix Contact Wielkopolska in Nowy Tomyśl. Electrical engineering components for the Group have been produced there since 1994. A total of around 2600 people work at this location.
