Previously, in the years 1947–1951, this plant, called the Steel Furniture Factory "Zachód", manufactured hospital beds, chairs, desks, wardrobes and strongboxes.
As Poland developed, the lack of small delivery vehicles with a load capacity of up to 1,000 kg became more noticeable.
In the second half of the 1980s, the factory was incorporated into Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych (FSO) from Warsaw.
The factory was able to develop, was privatized and produced small delivery vehicles, including the Polonez Truck Plus, and later assembled the Citroën C15 and Berlingo.
[2] In November 2002, thanks to orders and financing of production by Daewoo dealers, a batch of 166 copies of the Polonez Truck Plus in the Roy version with a 1.9D engine was produced from parts remaining in the manufacturer's warehouses.
The factory featured a new assembly line for Citroën cars and a modern surface painting shop.
