In an economic environment hit by a global recession our company sustained growth and solid profits. We adopted sustainable measures that not only eliminated negative impact of deteriorating market but have resulted in a permanent improvement in efficiency and strengthened our market position. Our strategy is based on a growing concentration of a rubber industry in the region and significant results of our research & development. The Slovzink's business case convinced EU authorities and institutional investors to support our project of "Increase of competitiveness of Slovzink by introduction of new innovative technologies". The new equipment will be put into operation in the fourth quarter 2011.
