Gorenje Moves Water Heater Manufacturing from Slovenia to Serbia
Gorenje Moves Water Heater Manufacturing from Slovenia to Serbia
Sep 7, 2010
Appliance maker Gorenje plans to transfer premium water heater manufacturing
from its Ljubljana, Slovenia plant to the Stara Pazova, Serbia, and will
eventually close down the Ljubljana plant.
Gorenje, which is based in Velenje, Slovenia, said the plant in Stara Pazova
offers lower manufacturing costs and has been successfully making
lower-value-added Tiki water heaters for the last four years. Bringing
high-capacity water heater manufacturing into the Serbian plant is intended to
improve profitability. The Serbian plant will be expanded and outfitted with
new equipment, some of it transferred from the Ljubljana plant.
The project, scheduled for completion by the end of 2010, will also be
supported Serbian regional development funds. On Sept, 2, 2010, Serbian
Minister of Economy and Regional Development, Mr. Mdađan Dinkić, and Gorenje
Management Board member Mr. Branko Apat signed an agreement in Stara Pazova
that allocates €1 million for development of the project.
