The Schaeffler Group reinforces its lasting course for growth in Eastern Europe with investments worth around 100 million euros and the creation of 900 new jobs within the next three years. High-ranking guests were at the opening ceremony for the new plant in the Czech Republic. With the new plant in Svitavy, the Schaeffler Group is further strengthening the already very strong Eastern European plant network.

Today, the Svitavy plant already employs a workforce of around 280. As a result of ongoing recruiting activities, the number of staff will increase to 900 within the next three years. Apart from employees, qualified industrial specialists are also being sought. “I am very pleased that such a strong partner in our region will not only create new jobs – also for other companies and service providers – but will also cooperate closely with our schools and provide career opportunities to graduates”, said David Šimek, Mayor of Svitavy.
