Description
IAC will soon hire up to 200 employees in Färgelanda and Skara in Sweden. The reason is that they recently signed a contract with a company in the heavy vehicle industry. The recruitment will start soon and the board have announced their plan to hire 100-200 employees. In 2011, the company had to give notices to 200 workers after experiencing declining orders from Saab Automobile, their by that time largest client. Now the company is growing again.
IAC is an American company that specialises in providing integrated interior and exterior systems to automotive manufacturers worldwide.
