Last week, our plant in Bitola, North Macedonia, had the distinct honor of welcoming Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski for a working visit.
The visit focused on several key topics shaping the future of industry. Discussions highlighted the importance of securing employment, developing a skilled workforce, enhancing technical education and training programs, and expanding modern infrastructure. The competitiveness of North Macedonia and the Pelagonia region as an important industrial location was also a central topic of the exchange.
Particular attention was given to the development potential of Bitola and the wider Pelagonia region, which is characterized by a strong industrial base, a dedicated workforce, and significant growth opportunities. Modern infrastructure, efficient transportation networks, and reliable economic conditions are essential factors in supporting sustainable development and long-term success.
During a tour of the plant, Prime Minister Mickoski gained firsthand insights into various production processes and met the employees whose commitment and expertise contribute every day to meeting the high quality standards of the European automotive industry. The direct exchange provided an opportunity to highlight the plant's importance for regional economic development and employment.
For Kromberg & Schubert, close and trusted cooperation with local and national institutions is of great importance. Open dialogue and strong partnerships with government stakeholders create an essential foundation for sustainable growth, investment, and the long-term preservation of jobs. Together, we can help establish the conditions that strengthen industrial locations and create promising future opportunities for both businesses and employees.
We would like to sincerely thank Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski for his visit and the constructive exchange. We look forward to continuing our successful cooperation in the future.
