Successful meeting with Linamar Macedonia
A successful and productive meeting held between the director of TIDZ, Goce Dimovski and Francisco Madeira, director of the Linamar Automotive Structures factory in TIDZ Skopje 2. At the meeting, they discussed the current and future projects of Linamar, as well as the possibilities for further investments and expansions of the company.
Linamar Corporation is an advanced manufacturing company where the intersection of leading technology and deep manufacturing expertise creates solutions that power vehicles, movement, work and, in general, the future. The company is composed of two operating segments – the industrial segment and the mobility segment, as global leaders in manufacturing solutions, developing world-class highly engineered products.
“Linamar’s presence in Macedonia is of great importance for our entire economy. The production of high-tech and advanced solutions are just a sign of the company’s commitment to development and innovation in the country. The Directorate for TIDZ, as an institution, is always available to provide support to companies, all in order to overcome all challenges. This investment is significant both for the future of the Macedonian economy and for the attraction of new foreign investors,” said Dimovski.
“The acquisition of Dura’s business is a significant step for Linamar in expanding our presence in Europe, considering that Macedonia is one of the two locations on this continent. This acquisition allowed us to increase our production capability, introducing new technologies. Further investments and expansions of our facilities are an inevitable step for us as a company, while creating additional opportunities for employment and economic growth,” said Madeira, manager of Linamar.
Last year, Linamar acquired Dura-Shiloh’s battery case business, which included three factories with locations in Macedonia, the US and the Czech Republic, now part of the newly formed operating group Linamar Structures.
