Koxka/Kobol plants to reopen next month

SPAIN: The K Refrigeration Group plans to restart production at both the Koxka refrigeration factory and the Kobol heat exchanger plant next month.

The troubled factories, once part of the US Hussmann group, have been idle since entering administration last year.
