Description
In a bid to expand its presence in the Czech Republic, Germany-based international group ACO is planning to set up a new plant in Sezimovo Ústí (Tábor district). This business project, focused on a new generation of oil and fat separators and sewage stations, should employ up to 400 people until 2012. A new development and research centre will be a part of the site. The German producer of elements for building industry has been operating in the Czech Republic since 1993 and has already invested over a half billion CZK. The company owns its first plant in the Přibyslav city.
