MAN has shown to the Russian journalists Assembly plant MAN in Niepolomice

Polish Assembly plant of MAN Truck & Bus has reached the level of production more than 20 thousand trucks per year

Assembly plant in Niepołomice near kraków from the very beginning in October 2007, a full included in the production network MAN.

 a plant for the Assembly of heavy trucks was developed and operates in full compliance with the principles of the production system of MAN. The plant employs 750 professionals representing a motivated, purposeful (and it is visible in each shot) and a qualified team, on a daily basis not only produces quality products but also improving their skills and motivation (for example, every day after the change should be a 30 minute briefing with a discussion of what happened during the day of events and decisions for elimination of defects or failures). 

Factory production site with an area of 225 000 m² today, one of the youngest in the production network MAN Truck & Bus AG 

The plant was built in two years and in the future may be expanded, as reserved by the company the area more than 1 thousand hectares.

Specialization of the Krakow plant, MAN – only the Assembly of imported components

  Range of products of the enterprise covers a wide variety of heavy truck series TGS and TGX with gross weight of over 16 tons (photo on the splash screen). Two-, three - and four-axle trucks of various configurations, such as tractors for semi-trailers, trucks and all-wheel drive tipper chassis coming from the factory in Niepołomice, known throughout Europe, in Russia and the CIS, and even in Asia and Africa.
 

The range of produced on the Krakow plant, MAN trucks wide enough

Krakow enterprise is only an Assembly plant. All components, e.g., axis (managed and leading), engines and cabs supplied by other plants of the Corporation MAN or from external suppliers (some of which are local, but they generally produce less significant components).

The effectiveness of the Cracow plant is in the higher level Assembly and logistics processes are fully consistent with the corporate principles of lean and continuous improvement. The plant management and employees great importance is attached to sustainability of the production system of MAN.
 

The scope of modern technologies is impressive in its clarity and functionality

Enterprise in Niepolomice holds and high environmental bar, with all responsibility to the society, approaching this issue and speaking at the same time one of the largest and most exemplary employers in the region. So, Assembly plant MAN is actively involved in various regional projects, including in education. 

Bridges like the majority of components supplied to the plant from third party suppliers

Great importance to the plant's management attaches to environmental protection: this is one of the few Polish companies with the system of environmental management certified in accordance with high standards of EMAS and OHSAS 18001:2007 certificate. 
And yet, despite the advanced technology the company believes that the most valuable resource Krakowski plant – its employees. Together with other Polish companies of the company the Krakow plant was twice awarded the certificate "top employers Poland".

In 2018, the plant has produced more than 20 000 trucks and 3 December 2018, rolled off the truck with a serial number 120 000. They became the chassis MAN TGS 33.460 6×6 BB, heavy fire rescue vehicle. These results the company achieved, working in two shifts (possible with three-shift factory job, and then the performance can be greatly increased even without the construction of additional Assembly plants). 

The noise in the shop is one of the lowest among similar productions

In November last year production site in Niepolomice received the prestigious title of "Factory of the year", taking first place in the category "excellent production," and in early December, the plant also won the national competition of the State Inspectorate of labor "Employer –the organizer of safe work" (I must say the organization of work are so clear that the workers even do without safety helmets, although these in the shop and was present at one of the posts). 

Handmade in the plant are relatively few, and it is quite highly 

In addition, in my opinion, thanks to the latest types of wrenches industrial noises in the Assembly shop, one of the lowest I have ever heard in my life.

Over the past 12 years, the plant has undergone a few organizational changes (in particular increased Assembly speed, which now amounts to 95 trucks per day) and remains one of the most modern plants of Europe (and I dare say the world) Assembly of trucks.
