EQS-News: PWO AG / Key word(s): Expansion PWO Group expands toolmaking capacities in eastern Europe as part of its growth strategy
Enjoying particularly attractive conditions, Serbia has become a key location for the European mobility industry in recent years. Almost all of our major Tier I customers now have production sites in the country, are continuing to expand their presence, and need our solutions to supply their eastern-European locations there. This is why we purchased assets of the established tool manufacturer Gorenje MDM d.o.o. in Kragujevac, Serbia, and as of July 1, 2023, we hired around 60 specialists from the company, which is in liquidation for strategic reasons. We acquired equipment for developing, constructing, manufacturing and testing of tools for sheet metal cold forming. With this investment, our company is establishing itself in a region with almost 200 years of industrial history and in close proximity to other highly specialized suppliers to the mobility industry. Gorenje MDM d.o.o. has more than 70 years of experience in tools development and toolmaking, and its customers include leading names in the international mobility industry. In Kragujevac, we will develop, manufacture and test powerful tools for sheet metal cold forming as part of our global toolmaking strategy. Using the latest materials, we will focus on intelligent tools for Industry 4.0 applications and the smart factory of the future. By doing so, we aim to serve a specific external customer base as well as a significant portion of our rapidly growing in-house demand at competitive conditions. PWO Group
