PM GRUEVSKI: JOHNSON MATTHEY TO
INVEST GBP 100 MILLION IN MACEDONIA
Johnson Matthey's board has reached a decision to invest in technological
development zone "Bunardzik" in Macedonia, Macedonian Prime Minister Nikola
Gruevski stated for MIA.
According to him, the investment is worth GBP 100 million (140 to EUR 150
million). London-based Johnson Matthey company is one of the largest groups
within "Johnson Controls", covering over 40% of the world market for
production of catalysts for the car industry.
- The investment will open over 500 new jobs and what is most important, it
will enable operations for many other smaller companies in Macedonia, which
will became their subcontractors and will produce parts for company's
production, stressed Gruevski.
He said the plan was "Johnson Matthey" to kick-start significant export
activities, thus the Macedonian factory to reach EUR 3,5 billion up to 2013
by exporting.
- EUR 3,5 billion is a very serious export for the Republic of Macedonia. Of
course, the export will be increased each year gradually, said Gruevski.
He informed that in addition to the initial plan on constructing a factory
in Bunardzik, the company also plans on moving some of its capacities from
another country.
- It is a big investment that will not only have a financial and employment
effect in Macedonia, but also it will have an effect on the fight for
attracting foreign investors, the Prime Minister emphasised.
Gruevsi said that the investment, together with the latest information that
one of the strongest companies on the Balkans - Croatia's Dukat - has
entered with its own investments in "Ideal Sipka", the opening of the
Swedish dairy plant "Swedmilk", as well as the information on other
investments entering Macedonia, represented a truly favourable trend.
- It's an excellent trend and I believe we'll have it more and more as time
goes by, highlighted Gruevski.
He said that within the "Invest In Macedonia" campaign, a government
delegation will visit Germany for meeting number of businessmen in order to
present Macedonia's investment advantages.
- Simultaneously, we're undertaking many other activities and I believe the
Invest In Macedonia campaign gives and will give effects, stressed PM
Gruevski.
