Investor chose Tri-city due to access to highly-qualified and experienced managers and proximity to its HQ as well as a direct flight connection to Scandinavia.

The fact that the investor has been co-operating with the Gdańsk-based NOTE and TStronic for three years played a part in the decision. - We start now with 15 persons. In two years' time employment may rise to 30 persons. Nevion plans to gradually withdraw from Norway and the USA and transfer its activities to Poland - explains Jacek Małecki, President of Nevion Manufacturing. Nevion offers comprehensive solutions in the field of video data transfer over optical fibre Synchronous Optical Networking (SONET) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH), IP and 3G mobile telecommunication. The company provides also signal processing systems, routing services and advanced monitoring, control and management systems.

The Gdańsk-based branch will assemble, test and distribute worldwide advanced telecommunications equipment (audio and video transmission device for TV broadcasters) of the whole Nevion group.

The project is worth PLN 1.000.000. The expected sales volume in the branch for 2011 is EUR6 million.

The Nevion project in Poland was supported by the Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency (PAIiIZ).
