Steep Plast Slovakia
A French-owned automotive plastic parts producer is investing €5m in a significant expansion project at its plant in Slovakia.
Steep Plast Slovakia, an offshoot of French Steep Plastique group, proposes to extend the production hall of its existing plant at Nitra in western Slovakia and construct a new warehouse on site.
The Slovak subsidiary, based in the capital Bratislava, plans to grow its facility in Nitra, close to the site of a €1.3bn assembly plant planned by Jaguar Land Rover nearby. Under construction from this year, the plant is due to turn out 150,000 vehicles annually from 2018.
Work on the Steep Plast project, plans of which still await the green light from the Slovak environmental authorities, is expected to begin later this year. The expansion is set to be completed during 2017.
Steep Plast Slovakia specialises in producing large sized automotive mouldings including covers for the vehicle engine compartment and under body at its site in the Nitra Sever industrial park.
The tier one supplier of injection moulded plastics components is expected to enlarge the plant to an area of 5,200 square metres and the expansion is due to create 60 new permanent jobs on site.
Steep Plastique group, based at Saint-Maurice-de-Beynost near Lyon, France, established its first plant in Slovakia in Bratislava in 2005 and launched the second facility at Nitra in 2008. The latest project at Nitra is reported to be the second of three development phases originally planned by the group. Steep Plastique, which manufactures a range of moulded vehicle interior and engine compartment components, has already embarked on a new project aimed at establishing a plant in India.
It operates a production site at its headquarters in Saint-Maurice-de-Beynost along with the second moulding unit at Décines, France.
