Description
Local subsidiary of Swedish car safety systems manufacturer Autoliv is to hire 200 people in 2017 at the new engineering centre in Iasi. The company currently employs 11,000 people across its plants in Lugoj, Brasov, Resita, Prejmer and Sfantu Gheorghe, and the research and development (R&D) centres in Timisoara and Brasov. The business creation is attributed to new R&D projects as well as an increase in the company's production capacity.
Autoliv opened its first plant in 1997 in Brasov and it produces car safety systems. The company announced another job creation in March this year.
