Description
Domel, a leading manufacturer of vacumm cleaner motors in the European market based in Železniki (Gorenjska region), is finishing the construction works of a new plant in Škofja Loka. The company bought a vacant factory in Škofja Loka because of the lack of space for the extension of production facilities in Železniki. Currently, 80 employees already work in this new location but the number is going to increase to 200 by the end of 2017. Domel currently employs 1,084 workers in Slovenia and about 100 more in Suzhou in China.
