ASP-PAK Builds a New Robotised Complex in Ohrid Worth Over 10 Million Euros, Strategic Partnership Signed With the Government
Capacity is to double and delivery times are to be halved. It is not known how many new jobs there will be, when construction ends or how large the state support is.
Ohrid – The Ohrid company ASP-PAK started construction of a new production complex in Leskovec, worth over 10 million euros. The foundation stone was laid on November 9, in the presence of Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski, and the company and the Government signed a strategic partnership agreement.
“It is a special pride for the Government, for Ohrid, but also for Macedonia as a state,” Mickoski said. The Government will be the company’s partner and will support the investment because of its high added value, he added. The new production line will be fully robotised and will use artificial intelligence applications, and the Prime Minister hopes this will encourage other investors to take such a step.
Director Kiril Spasevski said that the support is more than financial, that it is encouragement and an added responsibility. The goals after the project is completed are double the capacity, one hundred percent quality and halved delivery times. The average wage, according to him, will be from 1,500 to 2,000 euros, and the minimum net wage at least 1,000 euros.
By the editorial calculation, at an exchange rate of 61.5 denars per euro, the investment exceeds 615 million denars.
The company was founded on July 15, 2000 as a small family business of Petar Spasevski, with 20 employees. Today, 26 years later, hundreds of people from three generations of the family work in it. It produces woven polyethylene packaging and nets for agriculture, construction and industry, and exports to more than 50 countries, with over 500 clients. Its products reach Europe, Israel, North America and South Africa.
The long-standing partners of ASP-PAK, Amir from Israel and Rova from Belgium, each with about 20 years of cooperation, also attended. The Mayor of Ohrid Kiril Pecakov assessed the project as a significant step for the local and national economy.
Spasevski said that more employees will be needed, not fewer. How many jobs, was not announced.
What was not announced: the number of new jobs, the area of the complex, the deadline for completing the construction and the amount of state support that the agreement allows. These are the data that will show how large the investment is for Ohrid.
