Cimos suspended production at the beginning of April due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, SeeNews said.

SeeNews noted that, last year, local media reported Italian investment firm Palladio Holding Group was considering the sale of Cimos which its unit TCH Cogeme acquired in May 2017 from Slovenia's 'bad bank', DUTB.

TCH Cogeme paid EUR100,000 for the then troubled car parts manufacturer and put a further EUR18.3m into the company's recapitalisation.

Cimos manufactures mainly turbo compressor and turbine housings, power train components, chassis and car body parts.

The company has factories in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia.
