State subsidies of EUR 1.6 million were provided for this investment.
- This is a very important day for our company, not just because we have opened the first Essex factory in this part of Europe, but also for the fact that the facility in Zrenjanin and its workers are officially becoming a part of our family. The growth and the progress of our company are the result of dedicated team work of our employees worldwide. Due to this, we believe that we will continue being successful, justifying the image of Essex as an innovator and leader recognizable for its quality products and delivery - said Christopher Koo, the president of LS Group, within which Essex Europe operates.
