BSH Hišni aparati has established a new coffee maker line with which the company will increase its coffee machine production by 30 percent. The line will also create new jobs, especially in the development and technical sectors. President Türk opened production as part of a visit to the company.
During the visit, company management presented the development and education centres model which they would like to implement. As the firm constantly needs qualified workers for certain positions and also lacks suitable training for new employees, the idea is to introduce planned activities based on additional training of both new and existing staff. In their vision, both the company and the Slovenian educational system would benefit from the programme.

An insightful visit

The president was also taken on a tour of the company to see various stages of production, among them the manufacture of food preparation appliances such as blenders and mixers. He also saw a quality assurance test centre.
One of the central points of the tour was the coffee beverages development centre. Staff there detailed the process of appliance development and technology and highlighted the complexity of producing espresso machines, which are built from nearly 500 constituent parts. In the laboratory, Türk learnt about testing new technical solutions according to accepted standards and legislation.
BSH Home Appliances chief executive Rudolf Klötscher told the president that the company has successfully established branches in Croatia, Serbia and Bulgaria in the past three years. Türk expressed satisfaction over the good transactions of the company and saw it as an example that business can blossom even during difficult economic times.
