Maly Krtis, April 23 (TASR) - Italian investors Technogym and Sisme in the industrial park in Maly Krtis (Banska Bystrica) have together employed more people than the overall population of the village, TASR learnt on Friday.
While around 500 people live in the village, producer of equipment for fitness centres Technogym employs 440 people, and producer of electrical engines Sisme has given jobs to another 160.
"The Sisme management has indicated that after completing the second stage of the plant, employment may further increase by 80-100 jobs," said mayor of Maly Krtis Viliam Bayer.
More than two-thirds of the industrial park's 20 hectares is occupied by the two Italian investors. Another five hectares have already been bought by Technogym, which plans further expansion.
The Government, which held a session in nearby Velky Krtis on Wednesday, has also promised to support other investors if they come to the industrial park in Maly Krtis.
Bayer noted that while unemployment has been on the rise throughout Slovakia due to the economic crisis, firms in Maly Krtis have been hiring.
