HEERHUGOWAARD, The Netherlands – Bravilor is expanding both its range of products and also its production activities. On 7 September 2018 Bravilor Bonamat opened its second factory, at Białystok in Poland.
The main purpose of the Białystok plant is to produce plastic parts and sub-assemblies which will be supplied to the Netherlands for incorporation into finished products.
The new factory at Białystok is equipped initially with five injection moulding machines of various sizes. The intention in future is to double this number. The factory also includes some production lines for production of various sub-assemblies.
