This study reviews the logistical infrastructure of the automotive industry of Germany and Poland; to be specific, the factories in Poland which are run by German automobile companies are studied, in order to assess the benefit in the movement of factories from Germany to Poland. Quantitative data of Poland’s logistical structure, German and Polish economies, production output figures and values, etc. are studied under scholarly literature for qualitative assessments. Critical analysis has been made with comparison to each other and Czech Republic as well which is a neighbor and strong competitor of Poland in the industry. Furthermore, data is restructured to assess the economic benefits of German companies and the effect on Polish economy to ascertain the feasibility to produce in a neighboring country in order to save on wages and continue to pay for transportation, rather than producing in the home country of the companies. Findings are drawn in conclusion and a tentative benefit of savings has been noted. Manufacturing volume, vehicular exports, automotive parts exports as well as railway density, carriage of goods and road transport has been analyzed during the process.
