German Groschopp to Sign Memorandum with Municipality of Topola – Factory for Production of Electric Motors and Industrial Robots Planned

A member of the municipal council of Topola, Dragan Jovanovic, has announced that representatives of the German company Groschopp, which intends to open a factory in Zabare near Topola, will sign the memorandum of cooperation with that municipality tomorrow.

As Jovanovic said, the German company plans an investment in the production of electric motors in the first phase, whereas, in the second one, it would also produce industrial robots.

Initially, for the purposes of production activities, the German partner will lease, for a period of 30 years, a part of a dilapidated facility in Zabare of 1,000 m2, Jovanovic said and added that the investor was also interested in leasing the entire facility, which currently features a school department and a preschool institution.

– In that case, the municipality will provide the land, which it will fully equip with the infrastructure, whereby the German partner would oblige to build a new school in that space. It is only when the new one is built that the German company would move into the space used by the school – Jovanovic explained.

Jovanovic said that the municipality had previously put a part of the dilapidated facility in Zabare that the investor is interested in up for lease for a period of 30 years and added that the lease period should be approved by the municipal assembly at the session scheduled for February 19.

When all the legal procedures are finished, Jovanovic says, an investment agreement can be signed with the German partner.

– After the training, the first employees will enter the factory on October 1 this year, according to the plan. The plan is for a large number of local residents, as well as engineers whom we expect from other areas as well, to be employed here in the next two years, as the investment develops – Jovanovic wrote on his official Facebook page.

He said that he had also initiated talks regarding the arrival of investors to Natalinci, because, as he estimated, it is the only way to keep people from leaving their home ground and having others move in too, because that part of Donja Jasenica does not have a developed agricultural production.

– We must also wait to see the official decision about the route of the new highway, because there’s a justified fear among investors as well that the new corridor could jeopardize them – said Jovanovic, who expects the official document to appear by the end of March.

He said that smaller Italian and Slovenian companies also operated at the entrance to Topola and that a fruit processing factory, owned by an American citizen, operated in Jarmenovci.
