When a new factory is finished in Kraljevo next year, this fiber optic and cable manufacturer will become the largest employer in Serbia with more than 11,000 workers.
Since Leoni opened its first factory in Prokuplje in 2009, another in 2014 in Malosiste, and last year the first one in Nis, the state budget received 130 million euros in various taxes and fees, Sachs recalled, and added that the future plant in Kraljevo will be their biggest investment in Serbia.
The factory will have 45,000 square meters, with another 20,000 square meters of accompanying content, and it will employ 4,000 workers, he said.
Leoni, headquartered in Nuremberg, Germany, has 93 factories in 31 countries.
Last year the company had revenues of 4.9 billion euros from sales, while in Serbia in 2017 it achieved export worth 145 million euros and was among the ten largest exporters.
There isn't much other to say but congratulations to Serbia. Neighboring countries should take after. Only way to avoid conflict is to invest in your economy. When people have jobs they don't have time or energy to listen to b.s from politicians.
Imagine. German company, not Russian. I guess they saw that video of Serbian workers kneeling before South Korean owners. Much cheaper workers in Serbia than Germany, and for few hundred euros Serbs will kiss their behind. Wonder if Serbs will sing "Danke Deutschland"?

Lots of investments coming from Russia, China, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Arabs and elsewhere. Great news for Serbia and its citizens. With strong economic links, it makes it less likely that countries will have hostile policies towards Serbia.

Just wondering ...why are not the Alb keyboard warriors here wondering why "kosova's friends" aren't employing the people of Europes Youngest democracy"? Why are they investing in the "Eneny" of "kosova"?
The question you should be asking yourself...where are OUR Politicians? What are they doing for OUR "country"? Why are they not landing this stuff in OUR "country"?
I think that if you get our your "victim" pride, you will see that the Srbs are not the ones you should be worried about?
But you would have to be honest with yourself...
