ABB, part of the Swiss ABB group, is expanding and modernising its production plant in Przasnysz, Mazowieckie. More than 100 new jobs are planned in Przasnysz in 2026 as the first stage of the expansion. In total, the investment is expected to create more than 200 jobs by the end of 2027, with employment at the plant rising to more than 500 people. These will mainly be engineering positions related to knowledge, new skills, and the development of new technologies.
The investment, worth around PLN 100 million, will increase production capacity for medium-voltage switchgear, grid automation technologies and solutions for energy networks and data centres. The expansion is linked to growing demand for electrification, grid modernisation, renewable energy integration and data centre infrastructure.
