Ciric expressed his satisfaction that such a large company is investing in Serbia during the global economic crisis, and announced the completion of the first phase of the factory’s construction in late December.
The Minister said that most of Grundfos production is intended for export, and pointed out to the advantages of free trade agreements that Serbia has with a number of countries, which is a positive sign for foreign investors to come to our country.
Chair of the Vojvodina government Bojan Pajtic said that in previous ten years some €6.7 billion in foreign investment came to Vojvodina, which has employed 63,000 people.
Grundfos’ arrival to Indjija is strong encouragement in times of crisis, he said and also called on other investors to come to Serbia.
Danish Ambassador to Serbia Mette Nielsen Kewell said that today's investment is recognition that Serbia is a country attractive for foreign investment, but also recognition of the great progress it has made in the process of European integration.
She voiced her hope that Serbia will be granted candidate status in March, adding that she expects Grundfos’ investment to encourage other Danish investors to come to Serbia.
General manager of Grundfos Serbia Jim Toft Nielsen said he is honoured that the foundation stone for the factory in Indjija was laid today, recalling that Grundfos first arrived in Serbia in 2009 and has so far produced 4,500 pumps.
Through the Ministry’s programme for the allocation of non-repayable funds for encouraging investments, which is administered by SIEPA, Grundfos received €6 million for the new factory in Indjija, where 350 new jobs will be created.
Grundfos’ total investment in the new production hall is €50.8 million and the construction is due to be completed at the end of 2012.
Grundfos is one of the leading world manufacturers of circular pumps and it also produces air conditions and other centrifugal pumps for industrial purposes, water supply, sewerage and similar.
