Inclusion of a strategic partner into the Military Repair Plant Trenčín proved to be the right decision to take. Hence, the repair plant not only got out of the red but it was saved from being wound up. In the past year, the number of employees increased by more than one hundred and dependency on the defence orders was significantly reduced. “While in the past the number of defence orders was kept artificially high, amounting to some 80 – 90%, to-date it represents approximately 7%,” concluded SVK Minister of Defence Martin Glváč, when he and SVK Prime Minister Robert Fico made a visit to the company MSM Martin – Trenčín.
“I was most pleased to accept the invitation to visit this plant, because we succeed in meeting the commitment stipulated in the Government Manifesto. Our goal was to stabilize the military repair plant. To-date, it is manifest that the number of orders has increased and that the plant has gradually established itself in the international trade markets, which I am very pleased to say,” summarized the Prime Minister. What he appreciated in particular was that currently the strategic partner of the both former military repair plants employs nearly 550 people.
The Head of Defence Department confirmed that the department intends to apply the similar pattern of a long-term lease also in 2015, namely with respect to the Aircraft Repair Plant Trenčín (LOT). “A similar competitive tender, as was the case with the military repair plants, should be lodged no later than in summer 2015,” he stated. Inclusion of a strategic partner has already proved to be effective in two plants, with the employment rate having increased in both of them, in Trenčín-based facility even by more than 100 people.
Marián Goga, Director of MSM Martin s.r.o. (Ltd.), informed the Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the current situation of the plant, which the company has in a long-term lease since 1 January 2014: “We have managed to stabilize the employment rate and ensured new orders and the current number of defence orders is only marginal. We are able to gain new business partners.”
The Defence Department selected the strategic partner for MRP Trenčín in a public competitive tender. This is not to be confused with the privatization of the repair plant, since the ownership rights were preserved and remained unchanged, i. e. state retained the ownership of the plant.
