The subsidiary of US medical technology producer, ICU Medical Slovakia Ltd., is to close its plant in Vrable Industrial Park near Nitra. All 278 employees will be made redundant. The plant produces innovative intravenous applications and almost all of the production is exported. The closure of the plant is planned in the third quarter of 2016. The company attributes the closure to the need for better utilisation of capacities in its plant in Ensenade in Mexico.
ICU Medical has operated in Slovakia since 2010. The company invested €14 million into its new plant in Vrable and planned to create about 750 new jobs there. It also obtained state aid in the amount of €5.58 million.
