Brose held a groundbreaking ceremony on March 6, 2020 for its first Serbian plant in Pancevo, which will make electric motors and electronics for cooling fan modules. The company approved EUR 120 million of investment and plans up to 1,100 new jobs, with mass production targeted by summer 2021.

The Government of Serbia and Aptiv signed a Memorandum of Understanding for Aptiv to open a factory in Zajecar, investing close to EUR 20 million and employing around 2,000 workers. The 40,000 sq m plant is planned in an industrial zone, with construction expected to start in early 2020.
