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 />
