EMP is hiring for a factory in Jaworzno. Car production is set to begin in 2029.
ElectroMobility Poland has begun the first recruitment drive for its electric vehicle factory project in Jaworzno. The company is seeking specialists to prepare the organization for the construction of the facility, scheduled for spring 2027. Production is expected to begin in 2029 according to the current timeline.
First job offers, but construction is still far off
Job postings for specialists in IT, logistics, production planning, procurement, and operational excellence have appeared on EMP’s website. The Inwestmap.pl portal highlighted these listings. This is the first clear indication that the company is assembling a team for its future operations, though recruitment alone does not yet mean construction has started.
The plan for Jaworzno is broader than just a single assembly hall. Between 2026 and 2030, an electric vehicle factory, an engineering and R&D center, as well as facilities for suppliers are set to be built. EMP President Cyprian Gronkiewicz said at the New Mobility Congress in Katowice that “the factory creates scale, an ecosystem, sustainability, while expertise will shape our future.”
The project also has less and less to do with the original narrative of a single Polish brand. Piotr Masłowski, who was appointed to the Ministry of Energy at the beginning of September, told WNP that “I would prefer we use the Izer name as little as possible.” The current idea is to create an industrial hub for electromobility, rather than merely launching Izer production.
Foxconn will help with technology and production
In May, EMP announced a partnership with Hon Hai Technology Group, also known as Foxconn. According to available information, this Taiwanese company is responsible for over 40 percent of the world’s consumer electronics production and collaborates with companies such as Apple, NVIDIA, and Stellantis.
The plan involves forming a joint venture with Foxconn and Foxtron Vehicle Technologies. The combined company will be tasked with manufacturing cars, transferring technology, and developing industrial capabilities in Poland.
EMP aims for 70 percent of the value of components and materials used in vehicles to come from Europe. Battery packs are set to be assembled in Jaworzno from the beginning. In subsequent phases, the project will cover powertrains, electronics, and software.
Andrzej Kochman from the Polish Development Fund compared the investment to “a grain of sand around which a real pearl can be created in Poland.” Jakub Jakóbowski from the Center for Eastern Studies put it more simply: “We need to do more advanced things in order to remain competitive.”
On paper, the plan is ambitious. However, the next real test remains starting construction in spring 2027. Recruitment efforts show that EMP is preparing the groundwork, but no shovels have yet been dug in Jaworzno.
