Germany’s WIK Group has opened a new electrical appliance plant in the Technology and Industrial Development Zone in Prilep, North Macedonia. The investment exceeds 16 million euros and will create 300 jobs, BalkanEngineer.com learned from SeeNews. For WIK, the new facility marks the next phase of its presence in the country, which began with the construction of its first facility in Prilep in 2017. Production began a year later, and North Macedonia became the group’s third production site after China and Indonesia. Today, the local company has approximately 520 employees.
