Production and Products<br />

In 2011 production of home appliances<br />

has decreased by app<br />

280.000<br />

Production<br />

The central location for the production of large household<br />

appliances for <strong>Gorenje</strong> is in Velenje (Slovenia). Production<br />

facilities are also located elsewhere in Slovenia<br />

and in Serbia, Czech Republic, Sweden and Finland.<br />

Strategic policies of <strong>Gorenje</strong>’s management have envisaged<br />

relocation of the production of products in lower<br />

price brackets to cost-effective countries, and maintenance<br />

of production of products with higher added<br />

value in Slovenia. The activities focused on the achievement<br />

of objectives set in the strategic plan for the period<br />

2012-2015 include also the relocation of the production<br />

of cookers from Lahti in Finland to the factory of cooking<br />

appliances Mora Moravia in Mariánské Údolí in the<br />

Czech Republic. The relocation that will be completed<br />

in September 2012 is part of a process of restructuring<br />

production locations, which will optimise production<br />

costs and strengthen our competitiveness.<br />

Serbia has become an increasingly important production<br />

country. Fridge-freezer appliances are produced in<br />

Valjevo, water heaters are produced in Stara Pazova, and<br />

a factory for the production of sanitary equipment and<br />

assembly of washing machines was opened in Zaječar<br />

in March of this year. Since autumn 2011, the factory has<br />

successfully operated and employed 96 staff. Through<br />

The Management Board of the company <strong>Gorenje</strong>, d.d.<br />

the end of this year, 70,000 washing machines and<br />

30,000 wash basins will be delivered from this factory to<br />

the markets. The Government of the Republic of Serbia<br />

has supported the investment of <strong>Gorenje</strong> by offering<br />

grants amounting to EUR 10,000 per employee.<br />

The production of large household appliances includes<br />

also the programmes producing built-in components:<br />

� the programme of Mekom mechanical components<br />

in production sites in Velenje, Šoštanj, Bistrica<br />

ob Sotli and Rogatec,<br />

� the IPC programme (Sheltered Entrepreneurial<br />

Centre) with the programmes in Velenje and Šoštanj.<br />

Home Interior Division<br />

The production of the Home Interior Division was<br />

concentrated in only three locations.. They are specialised<br />

in separate products, in Velenje, the village <strong>Gorenje</strong><br />

and Maribor. The Division includes five basic production<br />

programmes: kitchens, components, bathrooms, ceramics<br />

and furniture. At the end of the year 2011, the plant<br />

in Šoštanj was closed and the production of sanitary<br />

equipment was relocated to Zaječar in Serbia.<br />

These measures improve exploitation of synergies<br />

among the programmes and increase cost-effectiveness.<br />

Quality<br />

<strong>Gorenje</strong> takes care that production facilities have a quality<br />

system that have been certified in accordance with the<br />

ISO 9001 standard. In 2011, this system was introduced to<br />

GAIO d.o.o., the new company within the <strong>Group</strong>. In 2012,<br />

this certificate will also be obtained for the newly opened<br />

facility in Zaječar, Serbia. An accredited laboratory of analytical<br />

chemistry that complies with certificate SIST EN ISO/<br />

IEC 17025 has operated in the scope of the production.<br />
