Vucic cuts ribbon on Dr. Oetker's first Serbia plant

“Two years ago, when we laid a cornerstone for this factory, it seemed like a sweet fairytale, and I have heard from one journalist that we keep laying cornerstones and talking about a future, but it never comes," said Vucic, and added:

"Today, we have the privilege to see one of the things that some good, diligent people managed to make in Serbia, with the help of German friends and investors.”

The German group's first factory in Serbia is an investment of EUR 9.5 million and will hire 192 people, with annual output of around 6,000 tons of mostly powdery products.

Currently 115 products are manufactured at the Serbian plant, mostly Dr. Oetker and C brands taken over from the Centroproizvod company, and sold in Serbia with Kosovo, Montenegro, Albania, and Macedonia.

The ceremony today was also attended by Dr. Oetker representatives and Germany's ambassador in Belgrade.

Dr. Oetker is a family-owned enterprise, manufacturing baking powders, baking mixes, dessert mixes, cereals, conserves, frozen pizza, frozen pizza snacks, yogurts, chilled desserts and other products.
