Formerly GM Powertrain Poland and before that Isuzu Motors Polska Sp. z o.o.orISPOL was opened in 1996 by Isuzu as a production site for Diesel engines, beginning with the Circle L engine. However, Isuzu's financial troubles caused General Motors to take control with 60% of ISPOL's capital in 2002. Since then the plant manufactured over two million engines for Opel/Vauxhall. The engines are for various Opel/Vauxhall models.

In 2013, General Motors Company purchased the remaining 40% shares of the Tychy plant from Isuzu Motors Ltd.[3]

In preparation for the sale by GM of the brands Opel and Vauxhall with the whole of the Opel/Vauxhall automobile business in Europe per August 1, 2017, this factory was transferred in the property of Opel Automobile GmbH, which was sold to PSA.

On March 21, 2018 PSA announced that this factory would be retooled to produce 3-cylinder "Puretech" petrol engines to be delivered to PSA's factoryinTrnava, Slovakia, saving hundreds of kilometers in transport, and avoiding to build an engine factory at the Trnava site.
