However, problems with Immo Industry - construction partner for Lenovo - the construction was postboned several times. After Immo Industry went bankrupt on February 16th, 2009, Lenovo issued a statement that it was rethinking the investment.

The latest media reports suggest that Lenovo will change the location of its assembly unit from Legnica (Special Economic Zone) to Nowa Sól.
