Witte Automotive, the German vehicle access systems manufacturer, will wrap up by the end of the year talks on the acquisition of a land plot to build a car parts factory in the town or Ruse, on the Danube, vice-president Tomas Jindra told Dnevnik.

The company's local subsidiary, Witte Automotive Bulgaria, is due to receive a class B investor certificate on October 1 for its planned electronic and mechanical car parts factory in Rousse.

The town was picked over 12 other locations in Bulgaria for its good location, well-developed machine building industry and the local technical university, which will provide trained staff for the plant and the research and development center the company will develop.

Witte Automotive has seven production units, six of them scattered across Germany and one in the Czech Republic. It has 3000 people on the payroll, of whom more than half work at its biggest plant, in the Czech city of Nejdek.
