Description
In March 2009, Monokpack opened a facility in Monok (Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county) for the production and packaging of female hygiene products. As the facility is located in an area of high unemployment, the town mayor welcomed this investment. Although initially only 30 workers were to be hired, the company decided to create at least 100 jobs in total by the end of 2009.
