China’s Minth building fourth car parts factory in Sabac – Seeking green permit to produce 172 million decorative moldings and seals annually

Minth Metal Parts Balkan doo Majur, Sabac, a part of the Chinese Minth group that produces car parts, is embarking on a project to build another Minth factory in the city on the Sava River.

The investment by Minth Metal Parts Balkan is the fourth in a row in Sabac, and the new facility will produce decorative moldings and seals.

The first facility, for the production of aluminum parts for cars, was built by Minth United Alloy Tech Europe in 2022. The following year, construction began on the second Minth factory (smelter) for aluminum processing, Minal Europe Green Material, and then the third factory, owned by investor Minth Automotive Europe, for the production of battery housings for e-cars.

The Mayor of Sabac, Aleksandar Pajic, announced at the beginning of 2023 that the construction of the fourth factory, Minth Metal Parts Balkan (MMB), would begin by the end of the year.

MMB has now submitted a request to the relevant ministry for a decision on the need for an environmental impact assessment of the project, which was developed by ECOlogica URBO doo from Kragujevac.

According to the project, the new factory will be located in the North industrial zone in Sabac, on a plot of land measuring 100,000 m2 (cadastral plot no. 2780/31, KO Majur).

The factory is being built in the immediate vicinity of the existing Minth plants: Minal Europe Green Material d.o.o, Minth Automotive Europe and United Alloy-Tech Europe d.o.o, with which it will form an automotive complex.

The construction of 18 facilities is planned, of which two are production halls, while the remaining 16 are auxiliary and supporting facilities. The total gross floor area of all facilities is 41,205.89 m2.

The factory is focused on the production of decorative moldings and sealing parts made of aluminum or stainless steel and plastic pellets, including front and rear door leaf moldings, roof moldings, lower external OBM moldings, front and rear triangle windows, guides and partition guides and door sealing strips.

Upon completion of the branch, the planned annual capacity of the factory for 2033 is 36 million decorative moldings and 136 million sealing parts.

It is noted that Minth’s production complex uses the most modern BAT technology, with the environmental impact being strictly defined.
