Description

Slovak Sitno Holding is to create about 300 new jobs at its factory in Kremnicke Bane.

The business expansion is attributed to a new contract with a Czech Gun Factory in Uherský Brod. The factory in Kremnické Bane will produce hand-guns and some components of other weapons produced by the Czech Company, which is selling them world-wide in 85 countries.
