During a visit to STMicroelectronics in Ħal Kirkop, PN Leader Bernard Grech praised the multinational company’s success in creating quality jobs and expressed the party’s commitment to supporting similar enterprises.
STMicroelectronics, Malta’s largest private employer with 1,700 workers, produces semiconductors for global clients across industries such as automotive and consumer electronics. In 2023, the company reported revenue of approximately $1 billion.
Bernard Grech highlighted how its focus on high-value goods and specialised employment has made it a key player in Malta’s economy.
Grech emphasised that the Partit Nazzjonalista’s vision for Malta’s future mirrors STMicroelectronics’ model of fostering quality jobs, fair wages, and specialised training.
He pledged that a future PN government would introduce new incentives to attract innovative companies and ensure Malta remains competitive in global markets.
Grech also stressed the need for collaboration between industries and educational institutions like MCAST and the University of Malta to prepare a skilled workforce, particularly in engineering and technical roles.
Accompanied by Shadow Ministers Ryan Callus, Jerome Caruana Cilia, and Ivan J. Bartolo, Grech toured the facility, meeting management and employees. He reaffirmed the PN’s commitment to supporting companies like STMicroelectronics to ensure sustainable economic growth and opportunities for workers.
