Japanese investor SMC Corporation, the world's largest manufacturer of pneumatic and electric industrial automation equipment, is going to set up a manufacturing site in Nouzka industrial area of the Vyškov city and to employ at least 200 people. The company will need highly qualified graduates with a good knowledge of English, and therefore it might face difficulties with a shortage of skilled labour in the region where the unemployment rate is relatively low (6.8%).
