A well-known global company decided to place their new coffee factory in the 20.000-inhabitant Polish city of Jawor, which recently acts like a super-magnet for large-scale global investments. Jacobs' initial declarations from December 2022 mentioned a budget of EUR 63 million. However, after obtaining a grant from the Polish government in the amount of EUR 16,5 million, the project was updated and developed - and ultimately its estimated cost is close to EUR 140 million.
Thanks to this update, the new factory in Jawor will be one of the most modern plants of its kind in the world. It will also be highly automated, which means that - despite the gigantic scale of the project - only about 50 people will work there once production starts.
Jacobs Douwe Egberts is primarily associated with coffee - but it also processes and produces tea, cocoa, chocolate, rusks, biscuits and bread, milk, cheese, juices and spices. For now, the investor does not officially provide information about what coffees (and possibly other products) it will produce in its new factory in Jawor.
According to the grant agreement, the investment is to begin no later than 2026 and end no later than 2030 - and the plant built thereunder must operate at least until 2035.
Jacobs Douwe Egberts is yet another well-known global company that decided to invest in Poland's Lower Silesia small town of Jawor. Just a few weeks ago Mercedes-Benz announced its new, large investment there - planning to build a EUR 1.4 billion factory for electric delivery vehicles there. As a result of this large-scale investment, 2,500 direct new workplaces will be created - and many more will appear in its "business environment". Earlier, the same global investor built a factory of engines and batteries for electric cars in Jawor, in which he invested a total of approximately EUR 600 million.
