Vice President of the Board of Directors of PKC Group from Helsinki Robert Remenar pointed out that the company had to choose the best and most competitive production location if it wanted to meet the expectations of its customers. ”PKC Group found qualified, dedicated and technically skilled workforce in Serbia, as well as transport infrastructure which will enable the efficient flow of goods, technical university base and a progressive political environment focused on improving business conditions, he said”, the company representative added.
