The Quality Management certificate is given based on evaluation of the possible impacts on the environment.

The Zilina plant is expanding to include a third shift and a second engine shop and will employ and extra 1,000 staff bringing the total to 4,000 employees. Throughout 2011 Kia Motors has invested over EUR 40m into modifying the production lines to incorporate the Venga as well as investing heavily in staff training.
