Description
Magna Powertrain, a subsidiary of Magna Holding, is to expand its production site in Lannach and will thereby hire 200 new employees. The international automotive supplier is to invest an additional EUR 30 million due to the receipt of four new bulk orders. While at the beginning of 2009, hundreds of employees had to work short-time due to the economic difficulties in the sector, the company ended 2010 with an increase in turnover and workforce. Magna Powertrain has 28 production sites, of which Lannach/Ilz is the biggest.
