Auto parts manufacture is an important branch of Poland's automotive sector. According to the 2008 data (Frost&Sullivan and PAliZ report), the parts manufacturers employed more than 108 000 people, which constitutes 81% of total employment in the sector. This figure does not include, of course, the parts distributors, retail stores and garages. The sector has an abundance of production facilities and expert skills to accommodate even the most demanding of South Africa's requirements.
"Poland is a country of great opportunities, with considerable economic potential and stable democracy. In terms of population and economy, Poland is the sixth largest member of the European Union. We would like to introduce a mutually beneficial relationship with South Africa in the automotive sector as well as other trade and industry sectors," says Slawomir Sonarski the First Secretary of Trade and Investment promotion section at the Polish Embassy.
