Dowty plans to increase its workforce by between 200 and 300 employees at the new Hal Far plant, the Labour Party said yesterday.

The new Dowty factory at Hal Far was yesterday visited by Labour leader Alfred Sant and the opposition spokesman for industry John Attard Montalto.

Dr Sant was quoted by the party statement as saying that contacts with the factory were first established by a Labour government in 1956.

Dowty employs a total of 800 workers and the company is currently moving from Mriehel to Hal Far, where 80 of its employees are already based.
