Japanese trading company Mitsui & Co has announced that it will establish an electromagnetic steel sheet processing company, Polskamit Steel in Skarwimiez in southern Poland. Polskamit will process, stock, and inspect electromagnetic steel sheets used in motor cores for electric vehicles such as hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs), as well as transformer cores used in power plants and substations. It is scheduled to start operations in April 2026.

Mitsui first established, in 1993, an electrical steel sheet processing company in the Netherlands and then in the Czech Republic. Mitsui also set up Mitsui High-Tec Poland in 2018, employing around 88 people, providing lamination press processing of in-vehicle motor cores for electric vehicles.

According to US research firm BloombergNEF, Poland is a major producer of lithium-ion batteries, ranking second in the world after China and first in Europe in terms of national battery production capacity in 2022.
