Dairy plant to replace Sloga footwear factory in Kikinda - Cheese for export

Sasa Mancic, a businessman from Kikinda who has been living in Slovenia for few years, bought the former footwear factory Sloga in July for EUR 51,000. In less than three months upon the acquisition, the new owner has done a lot to prepare a retail store for the opening.
- The co-owner is Exbike, so we are sharing the space. Some of the facilities are housing a service shop for bicycles and mopeds, while others will serve the requirements of a dairy plant - says Sasa Mancic.
- The space is under renovation. In this facility, we will be also wholesaling dairy products to restaurants. So far, we have hired seven workers, and if the dairy processing plant gets finished by the year's end, we will announce a competition for the admission of new workers. We are bound by the contract to have 15 employees by the end of 2016, but I expect this obligation to be met much before the deadline - he adds.
The building has a surface area of 460 square meters with ground floor and business facilities occupying 270 square meters. A big investment will be required for the reconstruction of the former administrative building of the factory that used to be a villa of Dr Stefan Kristof and is now under state protection.
Among other things, the plan is also to open an education center for farmers in this location. In addition to classical types of cheese, the future dairy plant will also be making cheese from sheep and goat milk for the market of the European Union.
