Editing Economy of Slovakia (section)

==Industry==
Slovakia became industrialized mostly in the second half of the 20th century. [[Heavy industry]] (including coal mining and the production of machinery and steel) was built for strategic reasons because Slovakia was less exposed to the military threat than the western parts of Czechoslovakia. After the end of the Cold War, the importance of industry, and especially of heavy industry, declined. In 2010, industry (including construction) accounted for 35.6% of GDP, compared with 49% in 1990. Nowadays, building on a long-standing tradition and a highly skilled labor force, main industries with potential of growth are following sectors: Automotive, Electronics, Mechanical engineering, Chemical engineering, Information technology.

The automotive sector is among the fastest growing sectors in Slovakia due to the recent large investments of [[Volkswagen]] (Bratislava), [[Peugeot]] ([[Trnava]]), [[Kia Motors]] ([[Kia Design and Manufacturing Facilities#Žilina Plant|Žilina]]) and since 2018 also [[Jaguar Land Rover]] in [[Nitra]]. Passenger car production was 1,040,000 units in 2016, what makes Slovakia the largest automobile producer in produced cars per capita.<ref>{{cite news | title=Slovensko kraľuje výrobe áut vo svete, dosiahli sme nový rekord | date=2017-01-17 | publisher=HNonline | url =http://finweb.hnonline.sk/ekonomika/892803-vyroba-aut-na-slovensku-stupla-na-novy-rekord-prekrocila-milionovu-hranicu | access-date = 2017-06-25 | language = SK}}</ref> Other big industrial companies include [[U.S. Steel]] (metallurgy), [[Slovnaft]] (oil industry), [[Samsung Electronics]] (electronics), [[Foxconn]] (electronics), [[Mondi|Mondi SCP]] (paper), [[Slovalco]] (aluminum production), [[Hyundai Mobis]] (automotive), [[Matador (company)|Continental Matador]] (automotive) and [[Whirlpool Corporation]].
