Bata Industrials has confidence in the manufacturing industry in the Netherlands. This is evident from the investments it has made both in the shoe manufacturing facility as well as the most recent sock factory in Best. Both production lines are equipped with the most advanced machinery. There has also been attention in the media for this anti-cyclical investment. You can hear two interviews which were broadcast on the Dutch station, Radio 1.
