Broumov (Náchodsko) - The textile company Veba from Broumov in the Náchod region today opened a training center, which is the first part of the newly emerging Congress&Wellness complex in the area of the existing Veba hotel resort.

In addition to Veba, public and private entities from the region will also be able to use the services of the training center, informed CTK by the general director and co-owner of the company, Josef Novák. Veba is one of the leaders in the textile industry in the Czech Republic.
