French Bodotextile new owner of Modna Konfekcija Rudnik facility – Investments of EUR 1 million and development of brand for Russian market planned

At an auction in Belgrade, held on Friday, June 29, 2018, the Topola facility of Modna Konfekcija Rudnik was bought by the French company Bodotextile from Paris. The company was sold for RSD 23,500,000.

Let us remind that Konfekcija Rudnik has been in bankruptcy since 2014 and in restructuring since 2005. An unsuccessful privatization was carried out in 2006, when eight companies which had paid the deposit competed for the ownership.

According to the president of the Municipality of Topola, Dragan Jovanovic, Bodotextile is one of the best textile companies in France.

– I expect that all employees, 150 of them, will keep their jobs and be provided with better work conditions. I've had several meetings with the new owner and I expect serious investments of nearly a million euros – Jovanovic said.

He added that he expected the salaries at Topola to increase, as the arrival of the new owner will lead to the development of a new brand for the Russian market.

The arrival of the new owner to Topola is expected in the first half of July, Glas Zapadne Srbije reports.

– I also expect the arrival of the French ambassador, as another renowned French company will now have a seat here, after Saint-Gobain, which has bought the former Karbon in Topola and developed the Weber brand – Jovanovic said.
