DĘBICA

Dębica is oriented to the development of industry,
tourism and recreation, communication, construction and
services.
The Tire Company „Dębica” S. A. is the larger employer in
the Podkarpackie Province and one of the biggest tire
producers in the country. It is a subsidiary of the American
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. The take over by new
investor allowed the company to reorganize and
modernize production technology. Dębica is also famous
for another company, Refrigeration Equipment Factory
"PZL - Dębica" S.A. – one of the biggest freezer appliances
producers in Poland.
