The Current Situation of the Electrotechnical
Industry within the Economy and Industrial
Manufacturing Sector of the Slovak Republic

• The industry creates more than 12 of the value
  added
  
• created by the manufacturing industry
• Gradual growth in value added in manufacturing
  output of existing investors
  
• (Samsung, Sony)
• Positive trend in productivity growth
• One of the few industrial sectors with
  employment growth (about 15-20 p.a.)
  
• Manufacturing output characterized by dynamic
  growth, doubled since 2000
  
• Business model with municipalities seeking out
  and negotiating directly
  
• with investors proved successful
• Positive manufacturing experience of investors
  in Slovakia leads
  
• to manufacturing capacity expansion
• Negatives
• Value added and productivity is relatively low
  at the moment
  
• Sector has negative net but shrinking foreign
  trade gap

The Current Situation of the Electrotechnical
Industry

• The electrotechnical industry is currently one
  of the largest employers
  
• of the manufacturing sector as well as the
  producer of the second highest
  
• value added in industrial manufacturing.
• Electrotechnical industry growth was the
  fastest of all industrial manufacturing
  
• sectors since the year 2000.
• The share of the value added of the
  electrotechnical industry on the overall
  
• value added of the manufacturing industry
  increased from 9.07 to 12.48
  
• since 2001.
• Car manufacturing can be partially credited for
  this development, creating
  
• demand for manufacturing of optical and
  electrotechnical products.
  
• There is increasing evidence of higher value
  added structure
  
• in the manufacturing sector as more foreign
  investors transfer in their higher
  
• value added services, which represent the
  backbone of a modern economy.

12
Value Added in Electrotechnical Industry (1999
2006)

• 10 917 million SKK
• 13 010 million SKK
• 14 833 million SKK
• 16 408 million SKK
• 16 780 million SKK
• 19 316 million SKK
• 23 986 million SKK
• 30 341 million SKK

13
Employment in Electrotechnical Industry of the
Slovak Republic in 2001 - 2006

• The number of employees grew by 32 since 2001,
  representing the third fastest
  
• employment growth rate in the manufacturing
  industry.
  
• The largest share of employees is in the
  electric equipment and instruments (68)
  
• sub-sector.
• Average wages in electrotechnical industry
  increased by 5.4 in 2006 to SKK
  
• 17,952.
• The most significant factor in 2006 was the
  continuing inflow of foreign direct
  
• investment.

Engineering, Electronics and Power
Engineering ELO SYS where ZEP SR
have been awarding - Electrotechnical Product o
f the Year - The Best Exhibit of the ELO SYS Fa
ir - The Designer of the year - The Unique Pr
oduct of the year (with USD 2 000 prize) for
product at patent or invention level. T
here were 374 exhibitors in the Elo Sys 2007
fair (8 companis from EU and Japan)
(The Unique Product of the year 2007 - VUJE)

Hightech and Middletech in Slovak
Electrotechnical Industry

• Slovak power electrical engineering and
  electronic is comparable to EU level.
  
• Electro-insulating materials and systems in
  electrical engineering could be
  
• evaluated in more detail, because they
  are hidden in final products, mostly.
  
• For example amorphous metals developed
  in the Slovak Academy of Sciences
  
• (beside USA, Germany and Japan) ranked
  us among the best workshops in the
  
• World.
• Regulating and control engineering developed
  in Slovakia (directly
  
• to transport systems for EU partners
  mostly) are extremely successful.
  
• In comparison with USA there are several
  problems different technical standards, system
  frequency and voltage.  
  
• In comparison with Japan the situation is very
  similar.
  
• Power electrical engineering, electro-insulating
  materials and systems,
  
• regulating and control engineering are at
  the knowledge level.
