From Žilina to roads around the world
Informations
Kia Slovakia is part of the global automotive company Kia Corporation. Its manufacturing plant is in Teplička nad Váhom near Žilina, where series production of vehicles began in 2006.
The production process includes stamping body parts, welding, painting, engine production and final vehicle assembly. Kia vehicles manufactured at the Slovak plant are exported to markets across Europe and beyond.
Several Kia models are produced in Žilina, including the Sportage, XCeed and the fully electric EV4 and EV2. The plant is also Kia’s only manufacturing facility in Europe and is one of the key players in Slovakia’s automotive industry.
Our mission is to promote Slovak manufacturers and service providers. We show that buying Slovak products makes sense, that they provide quality, a good price and value. We present the essence of Slovak manufacturing through the story of the production process. The main ambition is to help products penetrate other markets abroad.
We use our communication channels and videos to show how products are made and of what kind of quality in Slovakia. In our project, we focus on Slovak quality, competitiveness and the export potential of domestic products. We support a broad spectrum of producers, from iconic favourites like Chrumky and Horalky, through beverages, wine and beer, to innovative products and traditional Slovak products, such as the fujara and bryndza cheese.
