===Industry=== The most prominent industries and industrial sectors include high-tech, electrotechnical, chemical, cosmetic, construction, food processing, printing, [[metallurgy]], machinery and clothing. The majority of production plants and facilities are concentrated within the WOP Warsaw Industrial Precinct (''Warszawski Okręg Przemysłowy'') which is situated around the city's peripheral localities such as [[Praga]], [[Pruszków]], [[Sochaczew]], [[Piaseczno]], [[Marki]] and [[Żyrardów]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.hierophant-nox.com/warszawski-okreg-przemyslowy/ |title=Warszawski Okręg Przemysłowy | hierophant-nox |date=20 November 2018 |access-date=27 November 2020 |archive-date=6 December 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201206015436/http://www.hierophant-nox.com/warszawski-okreg-przemyslowy/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Warsaw has developed a particularly strong [[Retail|retail market]]/sector, representing around 13% of the total retail stock in the country.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://smg.cbre.com/retail/city/warsaw#regional-statistics |title=Understanding Retail Destinations in Warsaw | publisher= CBRE |access-date=27 November 2020 |archive-date=27 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201127141018/https://smg.cbre.com/retail/city/warsaw#regional-statistics |url-status=dead}}</ref> Following World War II, the authorities decided that the city will be transformed into a major centre for [[heavy industry]] and manufacturing. As a result, numerous large factories and production facilities were built in and around the city. Among the largest were ''Huta Warszawa'' [[steel works]], now [[ArcelorMittal|arcelor]]), the [[Ursus SA]], and the [[Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych]] (FSO) car factory. The now-defunct FSO, established in 1951, was once Warsaw's most successful corporation. Notable vehicles assembled there over the decades include the [[FSO Warszawa]], [[FSO Syrena]], [[Polski Fiat 125p]] and the [[FSO Polonez]]. In 1995, the factory was purchased by the [[South Korea]]n car manufacturer [[Daewoo]], which assembled its models in Warsaw for the European market.
