Howe Slovensko, a subsidiary of Australian Howe Leather Company, created 150 new jobs in Kosice in March 2011. Women accounts for almost 80% of the current workforce (500 employees). This business expansion is attributed to the recovery in the automotive industry. The company, which produces leather seats for luxury cars, increased the production volume by 100% when comparing with pre-crisis level. Main customers are Land Rover Discovery and Audi.
