POLAND (News release) -- Ontex Group NV will further expand its personal hygiene business through a new production plant to be built in Radomsko, Poland.

With an investment that is estimated to amount to Euro 40 million over the next years, Ontex aims to open a total site area of around 110 thousand m² and a total industrial area of 24 thousand m².
