Description
After several years of notable profit growths, the Austrian IFN Internorm company which is specialised in the manufacture of doors and windows, intends to expand its scale of production. Hence, the management plans to expand significantly the production facilities at one of its several plants, which is located in Lannach (Styria), where, in particular, special thermal-isolated windows are being produced. As a consequence, until 2007 up to 180 additional employees are planned to be hired.
