Description

Johnson Controls expands its production of plastic components for cars in Namestovo, where almost 570 jobs are to be created.

According to the company, this investment of €7 million is to meet new orders from closely located customers Kia in Zilina and Hyundai in Nosovice, both in the Czech Republic.

In 2013, the ERM reported on both job reductions and creations at the company.
