MAGNA STEYR

Hoče – Magna Steyr vice president Erwin Fandl and David Adam, director of the Slovenian Magna plant in Hoče, have informed representatives of the Slovenian government and local authorities that production in Hoče would be relaunched at the start of next year.

After the end of the public consultation period, the Ministry of Economic Development and Technology plans to harmonise the document with the other ministries in September, so that it could be adopted in October and passed in parliament at the beginning of 2018.

The debate, organised by the regional daily Večer featured both advocates, including Economy Minister Zdravko Počivalšek and Magna Steyr representative Wolfgang Zitz, and opponents of the planned paintshop by the Austrian subsidiary of the Canadian giant.
