Vrsac-based Serbita Shoes plans exports to Russia

Gulianno Favaron, owner of the factory Serbita Shoes in Vrsac, said Tuesday (27 March 2012) that the company planned to expand its production and export shoes to Russia, it was announced on the website of the Vojvodina government.

- We have signed many new agreements, which commit us to do a lot of work, and we must also fulfill some old agreements. That is why we plan to hire more people in Vrsac – said Favaron.

This factory produces shoe vamps for famous European brands and exports them to Italy and Switzerland. The production facility in Vrsac, which was opened last year, was visited Tuesday by Vojvodina Prime Minister Bojan Pajtic and Provincial Secretary for Culture and Public Information Milorad Djuric.

- We've brought this Italian company to Vrsac and another ten similar businesses to Vojvodina through the Vojvodina Foreign Investment Promotion Fund. They currently employ over 3,000 workers. The factory in Vrsac has 75 employees and plans to hire another 50 people until the end of April. Workers are mainly women, who are otherwise rarely employed by companies in Vojvodina - said Bojan Pajtic.
