The facility in Loznica will first produce car seat covers, and the factory should expand the production program to include seats for the most famous car brands at a later stage.
The construction of the factory in Loznica began in May 2019.
Adient operates in 34 countries worldwide and employs around 85,000 workers at over 238 facilities. It produces 25 million seats for renowned car brands each year.
Last year, Adient formally became the owner of 4.3 hectares of undeveloped construction land at the Sepak Industrial Zone.
Back in 2018, Adient opened a facility for the production of car seat covers in Banja Koviljaca, employing over 400 people.
When the American producer of car seats and car seat covers decided to build a new facility, Serbia had been one of the eight potential locations. The factory in Loznica will be their tenth factory for the production of car seat covers and decorative elements in the region encompassing Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
