Electronics giant Sony (Japan) is interested in expanding its investment base in Slovakia to include a logistics and distribution centre that will also supply European markets and Ukraine, informed the Economy Ministry.
By building the new centre the concern plans to replace some of the centres in Central or South-east Europe where the production capacity doesn't match the concern's current needs.
Sony representatives say they chose Slovakia as the most suitable country not only because of its position and Sony's good experience so far, but mainly because of its realistic chance to adopt the euro as early as January 2009.
Sony has been operating in Slovakia through its production plant in Trnava (producing TV sets and components) since 1996. Another Sony plant in Nitra launched its production in October 2007.
