Partner for the Military Repair Plant Trenčín

As from 1 January 2014, a new strategic partner will enter into an agreement with the Military Repair Plant Trenčín. The Defence Department selected the partner through a tendering process. By taking this step, the Department ensured that the employees will not lose their jobs and the plant will not be financially dependent on orders from the Department. This information was provided by the Minister of Defence of the SR Martin Glváč at the press conference.

Two companies submitted their offers for the tender. A more favourable offer was received from MSM Martin Ltd. “The strategic partner has guaranteed to maintain jobs for the Plant’s 288 employees for the next 5 years. Furthermore, we will receive € 7.56 million for the lease, and € 15 000 for current assets,“ the minister explained.

The head of the Defence Department stressed that proprietary rights would remain unchanged. „The property will stay in the state’s hands; this is just a 20 year lease agreement.

Such inclusion proved well to the Defence Department in the case of the Military Repair Plant Nováky. Today we can see that it was a good decision. The plant has maintained full employment, stabilized itself and got a solid order backlog. “Employees got a pay raise, and in the following year, the strategic partner plans to expand the production and create more jobs,” the minister pointed out.

The Military Repair Plant Trenčín is one of the biggest employers in the region. To date it provides jobs for 322 employees. Preserving the jobs was one of the key criteria in the adjustment of the tendering process.
