Chinese planning new investments in Cuprija – Jobs for 50 more workers in the second half of 2018

A delegation of the Chinese county of Shuyang has visited Cuprija and signed a protocol on future cooperation in various fields with the local self-government. The first investment, the yarn plant Eurofiber, arrived from the county to Cuprija in 2016, and a new sock factory is planned as well.

The Chinese currently employ around fifty workers in Cuprija, but they are already planning to double the capacities and the number of employees. They might build their own hall as well, as they are currently renting the former facilities of the ruined company Ingrap.

The experiences in Cuprija and Serbia have been positive so far, Zhang Xinghuo, owner of Eurofiber points out.

– Our company plans to double its investments here in the second half of the year. We also plan to employ more people, and the total number of workers will be around a hundred.

The facility is very noisy and hot, and air humidity is maintained artificially due to the yarn production technology. However, the workers say that they are already used to it and that they are satisfied with their jobs.

The Shuyang County is very interested in cooperating with Serbia and Cuprija in all fields including the education. The Chinese delegation was especially interested in having Chinese students educated at the School for Music Talents.

– The Shuyang County is one of the most important counties in China and has more than two million residents. It is famous in China for its economic development and is currently one of the thirty most developed counties – points out Bien Jenjun, Secretary of the Communist Party of China for the Shuyang County.

– The excellent cooperation of China and Serbia is a sign for us in local self-governments to establish excellent relations with cities and counties in China, one of which is Shuyang – emphasizes Ninoslav Eric, the president of the Municipality of Cuprija.

Turkey's Tibet Moda has also opened in Cuprija, and the good experience of Eurofiber, they hope, will be a sign to other business people from the country to start their European operations here.
