Mr. Agobian also pointed out that the factory in Zrenjanin was put into operation a year earlier, adding that they had achieved a stable production of 650 cars a day and hired 210 workers.

- We've invested so much in production and staff, and we will now continue in the same fashion. Fiat is satisfied, we are satisfied, and we plan to expand the factory and find other buyers in the automotive industry in the future - Agobian told the press.

He stressed that the company's goal was to expand its factory in Zrenjanin and hire up to 250 workers by 2015.
