3M in East Europe Region
It was 30 years ago when 3M, a global innovation leader, started its business in Poland, the Czech
Republic and Hungary. It was the time of the biggest economic transformation in their history. Our
organization was also growing – and becoming one of the largest investors and employers in the
region.
Thirty years of 3M’s presence in East Europe (which consists of Poland, Czech Republic,
Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine and Georgia) means over USD 650 million invested in building strong 3M
structures, such as sales and marketing organization, seven production facilities, a research and
development center, a Global Service Center and three Innovation Centers. Today, 3M operations in
Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary are delivered by more than 4,400 employees. Every day they
all use 3M science and technology platforms to create innovative solutions. The goal is to improve
people’s lives around the world.

We want it to be based on commitment, understanding, respect for the world around us, as well as the awareness of the value of science. In our opinion, as a business of the future, we will interact with the world of technology, optimizing our activities while taking care of the social and natural environment. This approach continues to improve people's quality of life. This will always will be our goal."
