“Establishment of Western Balkans Automotive and Supplier Industry
Excellence Centre”
Why choosing Saxony/Leipzig Region as a project partner?
• Saxony has long tradition of automotive industry
• It has re-vitalized its automotive industry during the transition period succesfully
• in Saxony they have created functioning industrial networks and clusters especially in the automotive industry
• Leipzig has relatively fresh experiences in becoming an investment site of automotive and supplier industry
• Leipzig is a pretty good role model for re-establishing automotive industry in Western Balkans, especially in Kragujevac
Automotive and supplier industry of Leipzig consists of:
• Original Equipment Manufacturers (BMW, Porsche)
• Suppliers of parts and components (Faurecia, Takata Petri...)
• Industrial Networks (AMZ, AMZK, Autoregion Leipzig, Precision cast)
• Logistics Services (AFG GmbH)
• R & D - Services (KUZ Leipzig)
• Education of Engineers and skilled work force at OEMs, Technical Highchool of Leipzig
• Access to a skilled labour pool (PUUL GmbH)
Access to skilled work force: PUUL GmbH supports the industry
Establishing a “Centre of Excellence” for promotion and support of automotive industry investments at the CCI Kragujevac to promote business, development and investment capabilities of automotive industry of Western Balkans and to attract Foreign Direct Investors to Western Balkans region.
Establishing a “Centre of Correspondence” at the CCI Tirana with comparable tasks.
Using and transferring the experiences made in the traditional German automotive Region of Saxony, especially in Leipzig.
Establishment of Western Balkans Automotive and Supplier Industry Excellence Centre:
What was triggering the idea behind the project?
• The decision of FIAT to overtake the Serbian Automobile-producer Zastava is to be seen as pre-condition for an economic renaissance of Kragujevac as the traditional automotive site o Central Serbia.
• The new FIAT site in Kragujevac will have a benchmark function in terms of labor costs within the global site management of FIAT and its suppliers.
• During the first wave of investment the creation of about 7.000 direct jobs at FIATand its suppliers is realistic. Experiences of comparable East German automotiveregions show that a long-term regional job effect of 35.000 employees is possible.
• To make such a scenario come true, Kragujevac should not be developed as an assembly site only. Instead of doing so, the whole supply chain is to set up in the region to save the site in the long run and to overcome the low wage-status.
• That’s why the investment process has to be co-ordinated by a proper institution – the Centre of Excellence
Central tasks of the Centre of Excellence:
advising and accompanying of investors in terms of chosing investment sites
advising and accompanying of regional actors in terms of acquisition of investors
setting up regional competences to develop the economic region
building up and managing economic clusters in the field of automotive and supplier industry and belonging services
providing services to attract and select skilled personnel for new investors and existing companies
Common goal of all activities
raising the level of competitiveness of the automotive industry of Western Balkans at the market of foreign direct investments
improving of the regional economic framework for investors especially in the automotive and supplier branch of Western Balkans
strengthening the role of CCI as prime representers of the interests of the regional economy
launching new forms of services and cooperation of Chambers
contribution for the creation of new jobs as well as saving existing jobs
organizing and extenting of collaboration and co-operation of the CCIs involved in the project (Leipzig, Kragujevac, Tirana) and their member companies.
Conceptional background of the Centre
cluster-oriented supply-chain idea based on regional competences. All successful European automotive regions base on this concept. With the investment of FIAT and ist system suppliers the pre-conditions for such a concept are delivered.
structural pre-conditions - concentration of the branch („critical mass“) - nearness to lead-buyers, highly specialized suppliers and service providers - high innovation pressure due to direct competition - exchange and knowledge transfer with universities and research institutions - direct (informal) contacts
institutional pre-conditions - knowledge about development of networks and their inherent mechanisms - political will - willingness and ability of all relevant actors to collaborate/co-operate
