New production capacities will be necessary as a result, particularly in the field of assembly and production of semi-finished products. The firm is to therefore invest more than EUR 10m in the next five years in modern technological equipment in the processing of thermoplastics, assembly lines and packaging.
The expansion of the business will also require the strengthening of particular departments, most notably research and development. The firm plans to employ around 50 professionals in various fields. Due to very intensive employment in the last period - from 2007 to 2010 number of employees increased by nearly 450, of which more than were 80 technical experts - and the unfavourable business location, the company is to open an R&D office in Ljubljana. It believes this will provide greater opportunities for employment of technical experts but also improve the prospects for cooperation with different R&D institutions.
All the plans will greatly strengthen the position of BSH Hišni aparati within the BSH Group as development and production centre in Europe for both small motor-driven food-preparation appliances and fully automatic coffee machines. The share of products younger than three years in the production range is expected to increase from the current 45 percent to 60 percent. The total production quantity will also grow and the structure of production assortments will change in favour of more sophisticated and higher value-added products.
With its appliances from Nazarje MUM5 Styline and coffee machine EQ5 the company received the Gold GZS Innovation award on the local (Savinjsko-Šaleška valley) level and are now competing on national level for the GZS Innovation award.
