Dell announced its intention to sell its Polish production plant. The joy will have been short lived. Anyhow, we stopped buying Dell since the US plant was closed. "Made in Poland" is not what we want to spend our euros and dollars on: we want quality and service, and going to a low cost country apparently is catastrophic for this as we hear from other Dell users accross Western Europe.

I find it very interesting that Dell has opened another manufacturing plant in Europe, while in the same breath has closed a heavy hitter plant in the US. I understand that Dell's bottom line is its profit margin, but hopefully many others will notice the lack of support for the US and quit Dell- like Dell and many other companies have quit the US

Hi Dave - Thanks for your comments. About the planting of trees - we chose a spot to plant trees with guidance from the City Forests, National Forests and Aeris Futuro Foundation. These folks made sure we planted the right kind of trees in the right places. I uploaded some photos to our flicker account if you want to see the Polish team - see the last three images here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dell_digital_media/sets/72157603775406523/

Funny how this closure isn't getting the same coverage. Nice to see Dell concentrating hard on profits again and forgetting all about customer service.

would be interesting to know, how much money Dell received from the EU for this.

How exciting. I hope this is beneficial and rewarding for everyone involved.

It's great seeing the manufacturing process in the plant.

Why are there four people in the picture but five listed in the caption?

Also, I appreciate seeing the outside of your plant. However, if you going to start planting trees throughout the area, you should start with around the plant, as from the picture provided it looks like there isn't a single one. Make sure you keep in check of yourself so that your initiatives aren't publicity stunts.
