TRNAVA, Slovakia, July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Robertshaw today
announced the closure of its manufacturing plant in Trnava,
Slovakia. The closure is expected
to be completed by the end of December
2024.
The decision to close the Trnava plant follows a period of
significant revenue deterioration in recent years. Customer demand
for Trnava's current products has been steadily declining, and
efforts to secure new customers or production volume have been
unsuccessful.
Important to emphasize: This closure is separate from the
ongoing Chapter 11 debt restructuring process for Robertshaw's US
operations.
Orderly Wind-Down and Workforce Support
Robertshaw is committed to an orderly wind-down of the Trnava
business. This will ensure that existing customer orders and some
final purchase requirements can be fulfilled. It will also allow
Robertshaw to support its Trnava workforce responsibly and help
mitigate the personal impact of the closure.
The company expresses its sincere appreciation for the
tremendous contributions of its Trnava employees. Their hard work,
expertise, and professionalism over many years are highly
valued.
Plant Assets Available for Acquisition
Robertshaw is open to exploring all options regarding the Trnava
plant, including acquisition or utilization of assets. The company
welcomes discussions with any interested parties, particularly
those in the region, who may be interested in acquiring the
management team, machinery, or workforce.
Focus on Local Workforce Placement
While the closure is necessary, Robertshaw is committed to
working diligently to place its Trnava employees in new positions.
The company will be actively connecting these highly skilled
individuals with requirements from other companies in the region.
This includes facilitating the hiring process for certain groups
with in-demand skillsets.
Full Production Capabilities Available
The Trnava plant is equipped with all standard electronic
processes and PCBA production capabilities, including manual
assembly, testing, and full-scale production. This represents a
very beneficial opportunity for any company seeking a well-equipped
facility and a skilled workforce.
