Production Relocation from Slovakia to Czech Republic Due to Cost Pressures
What happened
The Hubert company is closing its production plant in Sereď after nearly 75 years and relocating operations to sister plants in the Czech Republic. This move was cited as necessary for the company's economic sustainability. Separately, the Bosch plant in Bernolákovo announced mass layoffs, citing high labor costs as a reason.

Why it matters
The increasing departure of companies from the Slovak market is linked to heavy tax and social security contribution burdens. These relocations represent a loss of industrial production capacity in Slovakia as operations shift to the Czech Republic.
