Turkey's Jeanci to hire 100 people from Krupanj

Turkish textile company Jeanci, which should start jeans production in Krupanj in March, is going to hire hundred workers by March 1st.

This company plans to employ another two hundred people over the next two years.

This is specified in the agreement signed between the local self-government and the Turkish investor, Krupanj Mayor Rade Grujic told the press.

He assessed that the announced employment of 300 workers represented a great chance for development of this small underdeveloped municipality in northeast Serbia.

For the needs of production, Jeanci rented a facility of the textile plant Krupanjka that used to be a part of Loznica's Viskoza system. This Turkish company in Serbia is already making jeans products in a Leskovac-based factory that employs about 600 workers.

Krupanjka factory, which had up to 1,100 workers some twenty years ago, was in bankruptcy when the Krupanj municipality bought it in early 2013.
