Description
German company Sheltmen is going to open a further manufacturing shop in Osek near the Rokycany city. The plant focused on the production of textile sport and medical supports (bandage) will bring some 100 new jobs. The company, currently employing 40 people in the plant located in Rokycany, is looking for seamstresses. Since there is a shortage of this profession and the unemployment rate in this region is low (2.7 %), new jobs will be likely performed by foreign workforce.
