Description

Feldbacher Holzverarbeitungs, an Austrian firm, has announced that it is to create 300 new jobs in Levoča. The firm will establish a sawmill in Levoča. The new plant will involve an investment of approximately 1 billion SKK, and the jobs will be created by the end of 2010.

In June 2008, Feldbacher Company decided to cancel the investment in Slovakia due to insufficient available merchantable timber suppliers.
