The factory has been operating with significant losses for a long time and the management of Gorenje is intensively negotiating with two potential partners who would rent or buy the production capacities and re-employ its workers, Serbian News Agency Tanjug quoted the director of the factory, Vlado Krebs, as saying.
Gorenje started the production of sanitary equipment under the Gorenje Home brand in Zaječar (244 km southeast of Belgrade) in 2011 after it acquired the factory of local sector player Porcelan.
