Good neighbor Hyundai will
support selected projects in
the surrounding municipalities
with 700,000 CZK this year

Nošovice, February 13, 2020 Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech (HMMC) has been committed to good relations with its neighbours since the beginning of its operations in Nošovice. That is why this year the company management invited a delegation of mayors and mayoresses from the surrounding villages to the plant premises. As part of the ninth year of the Good Neighbour Project, the car company presented them with symbolic cheques worth CZK 700,000 for selected projects nominated by the municipalities.

This year’s Good Neighbour meeting was attended by mayors and mayoresses of thirteen municipalities (Dobrá, Dobratice, Dolní Domaslavice, Dolní Tošanovice, Horní Domaslavice, Horní Tošanovice, Nižní Lhoty, Nošovice, Pazderna, Raškovice, Třanovice, Vojkovice, Vyšní Lhoty). HMMC will donate CZK 50,000 to each of them. This will support local sports, cultural and social life. The symbolic cheques were presented to the mayors by HMMC President Donghwan Yang.

In addition, the villages of Vyšní Lhoty and Horní Tošanovice will receive monetary support in the Good Neighbour Together project for the revitalisation of the Kamenité cultural area and a nature corner for children. The employees of the Nosovice car factory will also be involved in both actions.

“We are happy to support the neighbouring municipalities and strengthen our friendly relations. Social responsibility is an important part of our corporate culture. We want to be the right partner for a common future, said HMMC President Donghwan Yang during the meeting.

The mayors of the villages praised the project. “It is a good activity. Traditionally, we use the funds from the Good Neighbor Program for cultural and social events, promoting community life. They bring together citizens of all ages, so it is an intergenerational meeting,” said Marie Gryžboňová Mališová, the mayor of Nižní Lhota.

Jiří Myšinský, the mayor of Nošovice, appreciates that HMMC has been distributing money to municipalities for their activities for a long time. “We use it both to support the activities of our associations, so that they know that HMMC operates in our town of Nosovice, but also for environmental projects such as tree planting,” noted the mayor of Nosovice.

After the social gathering and Korean lunch, the mayors had the opportunity to tour the paint shop of the plant. A unique place that ordinary visitors cannot get to due to strict production rules. And there was also the opportunity to test drive a Hyundai car.
