It was 15 years ago when the Austrian company, Miba, built its plant in Vráble in the Nitra Region. At that time, it was its second plant in Slovakia, the Hospodárske noviny daily reported.
Following a growing number of orders, Miba has announced that it will invest €10 million in increasing its capacities, the HN daily wrote.
The local Miba Steeltec is part of the Miba Group division named Miba Friction. The Vráble plant specialises in the friction linings for gearboxes, axles, and brakes for construction machines, tractors, and mining equipment.
