| | Warsaw Voice - Ursus Spinoff |
 | | Warsaw's Ursus tractor plant, an important player in Poland's motor industry for more than 100 years and, due to its size and product range, one of the most ideologically correct industrial enterprises in the country under communism, is a shadow of its former self. |
 | | In these conditions, Ursus, which had a work force of 17,000 in its heyday (now down to around 12,000), teetered on the verge of bankruptcy. |
 | | At the moment, Ursus and the arms industry buy a combined 40 percent of WSK Poznań's products, while another 30 percent is exported, primarily to the UK, Italy and South America. |
