Doing a steel project in Poland

Poland is in Central Europe. The capital is Warsaw. Local currency: Polish złoty (PLN).

Vietnam and Poland are both parties to EVFTA, so steel structures made in Vietnam can qualify for preferential tariffs under the rules of origin.

Victor Dang, Global Sales Director of World Steel Group, is the direct contact for projects in Poland, from first drawings to fabrication, packing, shipping and documents.
