The new pet food factory has reached its highest point, according to a statement from the municipality of Nowy Tomyśl. To commemorate this achievement, Josera hosted an event attended by the company’s management board and local officials, including Jakub Skrzypczak, deputy head of the Nowy Tomyśl municipality.
Plant Opening and Recruitment Plans
Scheduled to open in 2025, the new plant aims to employ around 100 individuals.
