Czech manufacturer Conrop, which produces, develops and sells flexible packaging for the handling and transportation of particularly bulky and liquid materials, opened a new plant to produce big bags in Trebišov, (Košice Region) on October 3.
Conrop began its production in Trebišov in the summer and currently employs 50 people. However, it is planning to create a total of 220 jobs by the end of 2019. The investment will mean expansion of its currently insufficient production capacities in the Czech Republic as well as its plant in Brezno in central Slovakia.
Economy Minister Peter Žiga pointed out that the Czech company decided to open its plant in Trebišov without any state aid. The ministry, however, are willing to provide help to to the investor.
“We’ll surely discuss the possibilities and conditions for the state to support its production and help them in the plant’s expansion,” said Žiga, according to the TASR newswire.
