U.S. computer maker Dell Inc. said on Monday it would invest 200 million euros ($254.5 million) in Poland, including a new factory that will help it battle for market share in fast-growing central Europe. Together with resulting investment by Dell suppliers, Polish officials say the new factory could be worth around 10,000 new jobs to Lodz, Poland's second largest city and an unemployment blackspot.
