Abstract This chapter traces the lineage of Poland’s three current and four former foreign car plants. This complicated saga demonstrates the initial chaos of the early Post-Socialist Period privatization process. Whereas the active plants FCA Tychy, VW Poznan, and GM’s Opel Gliwice all evolved within this context, Poland’s sometimes poor decisions on which automakers to depend upon, Daewoo of Korea, resulted in the failures of its state-run car plants in Warsaw and Lublin. The chapter concludes by summarizing Poland’s Post-Socialist production data over time and by briefly discussing Toyota’s powertrain facilities (engine and transmission) and Mercedes-Benz’s engine factory and rumored car plant in southern Poland. Due to the sheer number of plants to be covered, this chapter is easily the longest in the book.
