On July 19, the ceremonial laying of the first stone took place in the construction of a cable network plant for passenger cars of the German company "Kromberg & Schubert". The first work on erecting the German enterprise, not far from Lutsk, began sometime in early June. On that occasion, the commercial director of "Kromberg & Schubert" Ukraine, Otfried Foller, visited Volyn at the time. The construction of this plant in Volyn is one of the largest foreign investments in the region, as it amounts to 18 million dollars. The plant, whose construction is to be completed by the end of 2005, will employ about three thousand people. Incidentally, almost 75% of the jobs will be created for women. In addition, as we reported earlier, future employees of the enterprise will be trained in advance, moreover at the expense of the owners. Already now, in Lutsk, premises are being sought for housing so-called classes for training, where exercise machines are to be installed for future student-workers. One of the options is the premises of the "Volyn Silk Combine", which are currently not in use. \n
