“[The] Production plant is 13,000 square metres and will produce car seat covers,” said Vodovar.
“Given our experience I can say Adient considers Serbia as an excellent business destination.”
Berthelin cited the role the factory in Loznica had within the Adient network during the pandemic period. From around 15m Adient products during that time, 1.2m were produced in Serbia.
