Kanjiža, 23rd March 2022 – Wienerberger – world’s innovation leader in construction materials and smart solutions for the entire building envelope and infrastructure – officially opened its state-of-the-art clay roof tile production plant, with officials and experts attending the ceremony. Thanks to significant capital investment into the Kanjiža plant, Wienerberger will increase its activity on the domestic as well as export market by upgrading its product portfolio with premium products. With this investment, the company once again confirmed its commitment to invest into the Serbian market which will raise the operations to another level, securing a leading position for the company in the decades to come.

The new products will not only stand out for the modern design, but also enable the roofers to increase speed of installation, due to the larger size.

With the strong development of the Serbian market in the recent years, the increased output of the factory will meet the higher demand from customers not only in terms of volume, but also regarding quality of construction materials. Next to the domestic Serbian market, the premium roof tiles will be exported to Montenegro, Bosnia, North Macedonia, Bulgaria and Albania.

Sustainability was an important aspect of this investment and the factory fulfils the highest standards in terms of efficiency and environmental impact. All products have the Eco label, meaning they are produced from natural raw materials in a controlled production process, are durable and long lasting and undergo strict control by the certification and labelling institutions. Special emphasis was also put on health and safety of its employees, by designing the safest and most ergonomic production process across all plants on the market.

The Kanjiža factory is one of the biggest roof tile plants in Southeast Europe. By investing roughly 10 million euro in the most advanced production facilities in the region, Wienerberger will continue is successful growth path and market leadership position in the region.
