“Acquiring the company Milanović inženjering is above all a benefit for our clients and strengthens Siemens’ international manufacturing network in the rail industry and our position in Serbia. We are very satisfied with the fact that this is Siemens’ second factory in Serbia and we look forward to continuing our successful work”, announced Udo Eichlinger, managing director of Siemens Serbia.
“Joining the Siemens family is an exceptional opportunity, not only for our team but even more for the town of Kragujevac and the whole Šumadija region”, said Bratislav Milanović, owner of the company Milanović inženjering.
