Iโ€™m guessing the silicon was fabbed in Taiwan/China/South Korea and shipped to Poland for final assembly. If they wanted to optimise for labour costs, they could have had the boards soldered in the Far East and merely placed in the plastic enclosures by workers on Polish wages and still qualify as โ€œassembled and tested in Polandโ€

chips and bare pcbs are fabbed in taiwan/sk as you could expect, but soldering and further steps happen in poland. here you have some photos from inside their tiny factory https://www.komputerswiat.pl/nauka-i-technika/w-polsce-znajduje-sie-jedyna-w-europie-fabryka-pamieci-jest-co-podziwiac/x4kce8e
