Australian Bronx International Company is to establish a subsidiary in Slovakia, creating 120 new job posts by June 2013. The Company, which produces continuous production lines for manufacturing of metal sheets used in construction, will build a new plant in Košice.
So far, the Company operates in the country via subcontractors only and produces two production lines per year. They plan to eventually build six production lines, two per year, where for each line 60 people will be employed. Business expansion is attributed to new contracts with construction companies in Kenya, Turkey and Belarus.
