Description

Gorenje Tiki, a Slovenian boiler manufacturer based in Ljubljana, is to relocate its production activities to Stara Pazova in Serbia. All 270 employees will lose their job. The reason for the relocation is lower labour costs in Serbia. Recent increase of minimal wage in Slovenia speeded up the decision to relocate its production activities.
