Making leather for luxury cars – Italy’s Pasubio to employ another 100 people in Sabac in 2017

The production hall of Pasubio in Sabac has been producing leather for the most luxury cars in the world for some time now. The production in the town on the Sava was initiated by the Italian company in June. They have employed 62 workers so far. By the end of the year, they will employ another hundred people of Sabac, and the plans for 2018 include another 300 to 400 employees, says the official website of the town of Sabac.

The production hall was visited on August 30 by Mayor Nebojsa Zelenovic, Deputy Mayor Dusan Kostadinovic and the head of the Local Economic Development Department, Violeta Sestic.

In the past year, 1,290 people have been employed in Sabac, the mayor said on the occasion of the visit to the Italian company.

Zelenovic pointed out that the local administration and local companies which had taken part in initiating the production in Pasubio had proven to be efficient and professional.

– The experience of Pasubio shows that they have never managed to organize the production as fast as they did in Sabac. I am especially proud of the fact that the people who have been employed here are satisfied and that the company has chosen Sabac among all other towns in Serbia – Zelenovic said.

Massimiliano Tacconi, director of Pasubio, announced that another 100 employees would be working in the production hall by the next year.

– There are currently 62 production workers, we are planning to employ more by 2018, a hundred workers, and then 300 to 400 next year. We are putting a lot of effort into employee training, as working with leather is hard and requires a long and thorough training process in order for the people to understand what is being required of them. We need to employ as many people as soon as possible, so that they would learn and develop from the very start – Tacconi said.

Pasubio makes leather for luxury brands such as Jaguar, Porsche, Bentley and Ferrari. The workers currently employed in the production department were trained for a week in Sabac and then for three weeks in Italy. Pasubio is one of the key participants in the international leather manufacturing market. This March, they bought a hall in Misar, where the production started in June.
