SEE INTERVIEW
"Investor of Year 2009" in Bulgaria - ABB:
We'll become more aggressive in gaining a
bigger market share in Bulgaria
Dear Mr. Simon, ABB was awarded "Investor of Year 2009" in Bulgaria for its investment in a new factory at Rakovski industry zone,
near to the town of Plovdiv. Could you please inform SEEIM readers
more about the new production site?
The factory for low-voltage products in Rakovsky was not an easy decision, because it is our
fourth site in Bulgaria. We are present in Sofia, Petrich, Sevlievo and now in Rakovsky. Normally
the companies are
concentrated at one
place. Even it was
not an easy decision,
the new production
facility has many advantages.
We started the
construction of the
new factory in Rakovsky in the middle
of 2008. It took two years from the planning of the production site to now. At the moment we
have 200 employees and at the end of this year they will be 400 or 500. It depends on how the
world market will develop. The main export of this plant is for ABB factories in Italy.
We appreciate the award "Investor of Year 2009". The country considers that it is a good
investment and it's a good sign to other investors. This will be helpful for the improvement of
Bulgaria's image among the other Western companies who would invest in Bulgaria. If other
companies plan to invest and work here, they will be more attracted.
What were the main reasons to choose Bulgaria and Rakovsky?
The main reasons were the logistics, the tax advantages and the low labor cost. Also because the land for the new production site was ready for construction- a good infrastructure
existed: electricity, water, gas and etc. This advantage reflected in shorter implementation
time. Everything needed was there and we could start immediately. The building of the factory
pointed a record time. We signed the land contract in December 2007. Then in a short time we
started the construction process.
Do you import any components for the production in Rakovsky?
Most of the parts and materials are imported, but the strategy is to find local suppliers for
these materials. The components we produce in Rakovski are exported to ABB factories in
Italy, France, Norway, Switzerland.
What will be the production volumes of the new factory?
Concerning the pieces produced in the factory, it could not be numbered. The value of the
parts is not measured here, only the added value. Normally, we measure the production in
hours and people, not in pieces because here we don't make ready products, only parts which
go to Italy where they are assembled.
In Petrich we have a similar production, but mainly for Germany, Switzerland and Czech
Republic. ABB is outsourcing most of the production processes. Sevlievo production site is
completely different not only as products compared to Rakovsky and Petrich. In Sevlievo
we make products for the power industry, which we sell directly to the market in Romania,
Hungary, etc.
How is ABB minimizing the environmental impact of the manufacturing processes in Rakovsky?
We care very much about the environment. For example in the factory we have a very
environmental friendly system for cooling and heating. We do not have air-conditioning in the
whole unit. We use some coils and the cold water is going through them and bring these
cooled air down to the working places. We're also thinking to put photovoltaic collectors on the
roof to produce energy, 20 000 sq. m. is a nice place for this purpose.
The environmental friendly systems are standard for our company. For example, to print our
marketing materials as calendars, we have to prove that the paper was made out of wood,
which is specially planted for paper production.
Could you please tell us more about the management of the factory
in Rakovsky.
Something worth mentioning is that within the management team of the new factory there
are young Bulgarian professionals who were recruited locally. They were educated in the
University in Plovdiv and have been for 6 months in Italy for education. This is something
special from the Human Resources point of view.
What is the place of ABB in the power field of Bulgaria?
There are three areas in the power field - production of electricity, transmission and
distribution to the final consumers. These are three different fields for ABB, too. The good
side that I see in Bulgaria is that after the start of the privatization in this sector all the
distribution is privatized, the production not yet, but it has started. I think that we need to
attract more investors in power generation. Because there are not so many generation
capacities built in the last years. To build one takes five or six years - from the decision
making to running the unit. Also you have to make your power plants environmentally
friendly and to reduce emissions. And in parallel, you have to start up a new power
generation. About the transportation of electricity - maybe something has to be done for
connections to other countries and for maintenance of the network.
Now the people start talking about the green energy. I think that the most important is not to
use so much electricity, but to be more efficient. The most valuable energy resource is the
sun, that is clear and we have to start using it more efficiently. But the question is not only to
increase the production from renewable energy sources, but also to reduce the consumption.
This is the point where the Government and all of us still have to educate people.
How do you consider the ABB business in the power industry?
We divide the ABB products portfolio in this business area as high voltage, medium
voltage and low voltage. ABB is not only products provider but also a project and solu-

tions specialist and all of these products are included in the turn-key projects. When I
came to Bulgaria ABB was more involved in production of such a products, but then we
started making projects. We have competence for this, we use engineering group, specialized companies for projects, etc. And now the biggest part of our energy business in
Bulgaria are the projects. We are good, strong and we are a market leader. We could
provide everything including the commissioning and the complete service.
In Romania we started these projects very successfully, but then the market changed and
now we are selling more products, then projects as volume. Our customers there say "I'll buy
the components from you, but I'll make the project by myself". I see this trend in other countries, too - the companies want to run the projects by themselves and during the project time
they develop their "know-how". But then they recognize that they haven't done any research in
their activities, and they say "New technologies are coming, we don't know them". Also they
don't have experience to make these projects. While companies like Siemens and ABB have
much more experience and make less mistakes.
What is the impact of the financial crisis over ABB's business?
In the energy field there is no impact from the crisis, but as much as we have business in the residential building - yes, we feel it. In industry we feel that the investments
are more seriously calculated. But many companies think that now it is time to invest in
low-cost countries such as Bulgaria. It is a good time for restructuring the companies.
They should be ready for the time after the recession.
This is a difficult time for everybody, but it depends on the market share. If you have
a market share of 80% and the market changed, you will be very affected. But if you
have a market share of only 10% and the market goes down there is still a lot of market
that you can get. Maybe it will be difficult, the competition will be bigger, but the market
is here. This is the business.
In the energy business in Bulgaria in this field we are above last year, as in industry and
residential sector we are below. We plan in a short time to change our organization, to be
more aggressive on the market and to take more market share.

and companies encourage staff to brush up on their language skills on a regular basis.
Quality link to regional markets
A central geopolitical position at the cross-roads of trade and transport routes gives Slovenia a cutting edge and
accounts for its historical, cultural and economic profile - the key elements of its national economy.
By definition, Slovenia is an export-oriented country, and its electrical and electronics industry is a vital element
of the country's export mix with over 70% of sales earned in foreign markets. The companies held by domestic
owners such as Gorenje, Iskraemeco, and Kolektor achieve excellent results in demanding markets under their
own brands. The performance of the companies in foreign or mixed ownership as exporters is equally good with
Iskratel and BSH Hisni aparati being among the high-fliers.
Over the past few years, the Slovenian electrical and electronics companies have been pro-active in
exploiting investment opportunities in the markets of Southeastern Europe where Slovenia is one of the
most important foreign investors.
Thanks to its position and decades of fostering economic links with its neighbors, Slovenia is in a pole position to
serve the markets in the region. The number of international companies setting up their regional hubs in Slovenia
is rising attracted by the expertise of local managers, sales force and field engineers and their in-depth knowledge
of the regional markets.
Quality infrastructure
Slovenia lies at the intersection of the 5th and 10th pan-European transport corridors for road and rail transport.
Its transport and IT infrastructure is well-branched. The Adriatic port of Koper is the shortest maritime connection
for cargo arriving from Asia to landlocked countries of central Europe through the Suez Canal.
Slovenia's electrical and electronics industry successfully competes in the global market offering a wide range of
products. Design, development and engineering of cutting-edge products in conformity with the leading international standards (ISO 9000, 14000, VDA 6.1 and QS 9000) coupled with continuous improvement of methods and
systems throughout the business process, provide a key to a long partnership with renowned buyers of Slovenian
products. Operating efficiency is backed by close cooperation with the universities, research institutions, professional associations on the one hand and successful domestic and foreign engineering companies on the other.
Slovenian suppliers are best known on the business-to-business market, although there are several household
names on the business-to-customer market.
Resilience and ability to cope with challenges demonstrated by the companies such as Gorenje and BSH
Hisni aparati (electric household appliances) and Iskratel (telecommunications equipment) and many smaller companies inspire investor confidence. Iskra trade mark is as strong as ever and motivates new entrants
and foreign companies. Among major foreign investors BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgerate, Hella, Siemens, Danfoss and Vogt electronic stand out.

domestic appliances and electro - thermic appliances
separeted into three groups: Cooling program (refrigerators, feezers and cooling equipment), Wet and Dry
program (washing and drying machines) and Cooking
program (electric cookers, gas cookers and ovens).
The company was established in 1950 in a tiny village that bears the same name. Initially the company
was involved in the manufacture of agricultural machinery and the provision of building materials. In
1958 it expanded its operations to the production of
solid-fuel cookers. This was followed by a relocation
to the nearby town of Velenje and the construction of
new assembly facilities. Between 1961 - 1970 the
company expands its production to washing machines
and refrigerators and becomes the leading household
appliances manufacturer in Yugoslavia.
Later its product range extends to the manufacture of
kitchen units, ceramics, medical equipment, telecommunications devices, TV sets and other electrical goods
- indeed a complete range of products for the home.
In 1997 Gorenje, d.d., becomes a public company
and started investment in new products and technology: opening up of new markets, ecologically-sound
and cutting - edge technologies. As to its strategic
plans Gorenje has infused new life into its business
doctrine familiarly known as: "Everything for Home".
Nowadays Gorenje has a wide spread net of companies and of offices in 32 countries worldwide.

GE Energy, Coca-Cola Hellenic and ContourGlobal
celebrate opening of cogeneration plant in Romania
GE's Jenbacher CHP Units to Support European Union Energy Efficiency Goals, Help Eliminate up
to 40 Percent of a Plant's Annual CO2 Emissions
Coca-Cola Hellenic and ContourGlobal have inaugurated
an advanced energy saving power plant in Romania as part
of an initiative to slash annual CO2 emissions across all of
Coca-Cola Hellenic's operations by more than 20%. The
Romania natural gas-fueled cogeneration plant represents
the first of a planned group of 15 combined heat and power
(CHP) plants that will be installed at Coca-Cola Hellenic's
facilities in 12 European countries. "The opening of the CHP
plant represents a milestone to ensure the sustainable development of our operations, and of the communities we
serve," said Mr. Doros Constantinou, Chief Executive Officer of Coca Cola Hellenic. "Across all of our 28 territories we
have been working to increase efficiencies and reduce CO2
emissions, the main culprit in climate change," he said.
Cogeneration is inherently more energy efficient than using separate power and heat generating sources, making it
an effective anti-pollution strategy. As a result, the EU in
recent years has begun urging member states to modernize
their industrial and municipal cogeneration systems to improve energy efficiency and curtail regional emissions.
GE Energy is supplying ContourGlobal
with 19 Jenbacher gas engines
"For such a large energy initiative, we needed to find a
reliable power generation equipment supplier that could support our project on behalf of Coca Cola Hellenic under a
very tight delivery schedule," said ContourGlobal President
and Chief Executive Officer Joseph C. Brandt.
Each of the bottling plants utilizing GE Energy's Jenbacher
CHP engines will be able to eliminate up to 40 percent of their
annual carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which demonstrates
the ongoing commitment to reduce the carbon footprint of the
bottling operations in support of EU goals while also reducing
the operational costs by generating their own onsite power.
Under the first phase of the Coca-Cola Hellenic CHP initiative, GE Energy is supplying ContourGlobal, the project
developer, with 19 Jenbacher gas engines-representing a
total output of 58 megawatts (MWel). The first two of GE's
Jenbacher cogeneration modules were installed at CocaCola Hellenic's Romania bottling facility while the other units
will be installed at Coca-Cola facilities in six other European
countries: Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Greece, United Kingdom (Northern Ireland) and Italy.
The new CHP plants will supply a highly
efficient, reliable onsite supply of electricity, as well as hot and chilled water, to CocaCola Hellenic's bottling facilities.
"With the European Union emphasizing the role of energy efficiency in its efforts to reduce regional greenhouse gas emissions, we are very excited to showcase
how our Jenbacher technology can help energy developers and industrial operators like ContourGlobal and
Coca-Cola Hellenic meet with their energy and environmental goals," said Prady Iyyanki, CEO of GE Energy's
Jenbacher gas engine business.
Subsequent project phases call for additional CHP
plants to be installed at bottling facilities in Austria, Czech
Republic, Slovakia and Serbia as well as in the African
nation of Nigeria.
The new Romania cogeneration plant is powered by two
of GE's three-MW J620 Jenbacher gas engines, providing
the factory with a reliable source of onsite power while helping support the EU's emissions reduction goals.
The initiative supports the European Commission's goal
to adopt more stringent environmental targets for member
states to help Europe achieve a 20 percent reduction in
emissions by 2020.
GE Energy's Jenbacher gas engines will be delivered
throughout 2009 and 2010, with commissioning scheduled
as the plants are ready. The equipment is being built at GE's
gas engine manufacturing center in Jenbach, Austria.
Coca-Cola Hellenic and ContourGlobal will open up to
three plants more this year with others following in 2010
and beyond. Another newly introduced feature of the facility in Ploiesti is an intelligent, fully automated, mega
High-Bay warehouse which is the first of its kind in Romania. The system takes palletised products from the six
production lines via a conveyor and allows for storage
and retrieval of stock using eleven automated cranes.
The on-site storage facility heightens efficiency and also
provides Coca-Cola Hellenic with the flexibility to expand
capacity as its business further develops.

In the Food and Drink Business Environment Ratings
(BER) for first quarter of 2010, Serbia slipped from ninth
to 12th position in the emerging Europe matrix. Unlike in
the previous quarter, Serbia is now judged to represent
a less viable commercial opportunity for food and drinks
companies than the Baltic states, as the economic situation there slowly improves. Nevertheless, the assessment of Serbia's longer-term market potential is relatively optimistic, buoyed by high per capita consumption of
food and beverages, as well a positive trade balance
figure. Additionally, the country's food consumption
growth score is on a par with some of the more developed regional markets, although factors such as the
widespread grey economy, high unemployment and unresolved political issues will remain the main obstacles
to foreign investment in the shorter term, as will the
downward pressure on food and drinks prices.
The outlook on the country's ability to avoid a deep
and potentially protracted recession in 2009 and
into 2010 is relatively guarded. In fact, risks related
to short-term financing and economic growth are
considered particularly problematic, although large
players based in other parts of the former Yugoslavia, such as the leading Slovenian mass grocery retail (MGR) operator Mercator, seem to have no
qualms about continuing their investment into the
country. This should also provide them with a competitive edge over new international players on the
scene, with many international conglomerates likely
to wait until the country's economic situation shows
stronger signs of recovery. Indeed, having announced its intention to enter the Serbian MGR market in 2009 a while ago, Spar Austria is now choosing to 'observe' the situation, with no store openings
planned during the current year.
Some European majors are, however, already recognizing the longer term potential of the Serbian food and
drinks market. In late September 2009, French dairy behemoth Groupe Danone was poised to close in on two
of the country's leading dairy companies owned by UKbased Salford Fund, namely Mlekara Subotica and Imlek, the market leader that also boasts a strong export
portfolio. Danone already boasts a strong emerging Europe portfolio (the region accounted for 15% of group
sales in FY08). In addition to topping the much-soughtafter Polish market, Danone also leads in the Balkan
markets of Bulgaria and Romania, with Serbia to provide a complementary investment.
Around the same time, however, Belgian brewing behemoth Anheuser-Busch InBev (A-B InBev) was reportedly in talks with private equity firm CVC Capital Partners over the sale of its Central and Eastern European
(CEE) operations. CVC Capital Partners actually submitted a EUR1.57bn bid, although this falls short of the
EUR2bn asking price. The decision was made due to a
steady worsening of conditions for brewers across the
CEE region since the start of 2009, severe economic
stress has forced a sharp alteration in consumer spending, which continues to profoundly affect the non-essential beverage category. What is more, with populations
declining or remaining flat in many of the region's markets, the long-term demographic outlook does not favour
brewers, particularly those that are not market leaders.

sorting line. Thanks to these investments the company
is able to serve its customers with top quality fruit products from Serbia. Production capacity is over 6.000 tons
of frozen products per year.

invested in the local market and supported the local
community. Coca-Cola HBC Serbia, with its long-term
business plans and interests in Serbia, plays an important role in the economic development of the country, having invested more than 150 million EUR in ten
years. Since 1997, Coca-Cola Serbia has tripled its
production in order to meet the growing needs of its
customers as well as introduced 39 new products and
packages. Today, Coca-Cola HBC Serbia is the country's leading soft drinks producer, which together with
more than 3,000 business partners creates one of the
most successful business systems in Serbia. The main
office is in Zemun, where some 65,000 square meters
of land are occupied with six production lines, a warehouse and business premises. The company has seven distribution centers across the country. Coca-Cola
acquired Vlasinka, the bottling company of "Rosa" water-leader in the market of natural spring waters, and
Fresh&Co., leading producer of juices, thus positioning the company as one the biggest non-alcoholic beverages producing companies in the region. These acquisitions are in line with the Coca-Cola HBC strategy
to broaden its beverage offer for consumers and symbolizing a significant and long term commitment to the
company's operations in Serbia.

Montenegrin-Turkish Business Forum
On 12 December 2009, the Chamber of Economy of Montenegro organized the Business meeting in Podgorica, which
gathered around 300 Montenegrin and Turkish businessmen. The Presidents of the two states Mr. Filip Vujanovic
and Mr. Abdullah Gul participated in the work of the Forum.
This Montenegrin-Turkish Business Forum is considered
as the biggest economic gathering in the history of Montenegro. In the opening address at the business forum, Mr.
Mijuskovic, President of PKCG, expressed his satisfaction
with the interest of businessmen of the two countries in cooperation and stressed that the meetings of this kind are an
opportunity to exchange experiences and make extra effort,
through economic contacts and business arrangements, to
help our economies getting out of the crisis as soon as possible and in the least painful manner.
The Economic Cooperation Agreement and the Agreement on International Road Transport of Passengers and
Goods, which were signed by the Ministers of the Governments of Montenegro and Turkey in Cetinje, continued Mr.
Mijuskovic, will further contribute to strengthening economic
relations between our countries. The need to strengthen
these ties is of importance even for the common European
future. Jointly we have launched a series of initiatives to
strengthen regional integration and position the region towards the European integration, reminded Mr. Mijusovic,
and invited representatives of business associations from
the Republic of Turkey, in business operations with the economy of Montenegro to count on the assistance of the Cham-
ber of Economy of Montenegro in terms of provision of information, connecting with the economic entities, as well as
other kind of support.
This even more, said Mr. Mijuskovic, due to the fact that
the economic exchange between our two countries deserves
a much higher trade level than achieved, and we think that
in this field we can and have to do and achieve a lot more.
This is an excellent opportunity for a new beginning.
The Turkish investors have a lot of opportunities to invest
in the Montenegrin market, while the airport in Berane and
the free-trade zone in Bar could be the first on this list, said
the Montenegrin President Mr. Filip Vujanovic.
A large number of Turkish investors could invest the money
into reconstruction of the Berane based airport, since the north
of Montenegro is very attractive, both for holidays and investments, said the President Vujanovic. He believes that the favorable position of the Port of Bar offers possibilities for a wide
scope of action, and that the Business Forum is a good opportunity to improve cooperation between Montenegro and
Turkey. He added that the lack of information and poor transport infrastructure are some of the reasons for the insufficient
economic cooperation between the two states. Turkey hasn't
been informed about the conditions for business operating
and the quality of the Montenegrin companies. They are not
familiar with the fact that on the Montenegrin market there are
currently 4.5 thousand foreign companies from even, 64 countries, said Mr. Vujanovic and reminded that the number of
investments in this year was increased, stating that this trend
could continue into the next year as well.
The Turkish President Mr. Abdullah Gul said that Montenegro, although a small country, has a good geographical
position, which enables the development of tourism. The liberalized market, visa-free regime and the way to the European Union (EU) and NATO should create conditions for a
beautiful future in Montenegro.
The representative of the Turkish Ministry of Economy,
Mr. Zafer Caglayan believes that the cooperation between
Montenegro and Turkey should first be developed in the sectors of construction, tourism and shipbuilding. I'm convinced
that the Turkish constructors will set as a goal investing in
Montenegro, since it is very important to do business together with the Montenegrin entrepreneurs in the world market, said Mr. Caglayan. He reminded that Turkey is the fifth
country in the world in the field of shipbuilding, and after
China the leading one in civil engineering.Turkey and Montenegro except for mutual cooperation must jointly invest in
third countries, said Mr. Caglayan.
The Montenegrin Minister of Economy Mr. Branko Vujovic
said that in times of crisis, we have the most difficult situation
in the aluminum and steel industry, but we are trying to compensate these drawbacks by revenue from tourism and foreign investments. Montenegro bears the economic crisis pretty well, which confirms that the Montenegrin economy is stable, without major layoffs of workers, with stable prices and is
one of the few in time of crisis to have succeeded to increase
the level of foreign investments, said Minister Vujovic.

EXHIBITIONS AND EVENTS
HANNOVER MESSE to emphasize efficiency, innovation and sustainability
Nine leading international events at one venue 19 to 23 April 2010, Hannover, Germany
Under the new motto "Efficiency, Innovation, Sustainability", the next HANNOVER MESSE (19 to 23 April 2010) will
be showcasing innovations, new developments and technologies, alongside new materials from the world of industry. With its clear orientation towards energy, mobility and
automation, as well as industrial subcontracting, HANNOVER MESSE will again embrace the salient trends affecting every branch of industry.
"Next year we are launching two new leading trade fairs in
a move that really testifies to the innovative drive and core
strengths of HANNOVER MESSE. With MobiliTec we will
be putting even greater emphasis on a major energy-related
trend -- electric mobility. CoilTechnica completes the lineup
of displays geared to the subcontracting and outsourcing
sector. We can look forward to another comprehensive and
impressive international showcase of industry in 2010," predicts Dr. Wolfram von Fritsch, Chairman of the Board of
Deutsche Messe, adding, "An event having the kind of
strong international appeal of HANNOVER MESSE has
what it takes to give the emerging economic upswing a major shot in the arm."
The show's underlying motto of "Efficiency, Innovation,
Sustainability" does justice to the common interests of every
participating industrial sector. As the organizers point out,
"every branch of industry faces the same challenges." While
innovation is important, the application and exchange of existing know-how is equally significant. The transfer of knowledge between science and business lies at the core of a
varied program of seminars, congresses and workshops.
branch of industry and can help secure a decisive competitive advantage. In 2010 Industrial Supply will again showcase the entire spectrum of subcontracting with materials,
components and systems for the automobile industry as well
as mechanical and plant engineering. It will provide an ideal
platform for networking, know-how transfer and new business leads.
The new international trade fair MobiliTec bundles together all the mobility-related technologies for the future in the
centrally located Hall 27. The International Trade Fair for
Hybrid and Electric Powertrain Technologies, Mobile Energy Storage and Alternative Mobility Solutions is located close
to another keynote display -- Renewables -- which is part of
the trade fair Energy. Here attention is directed to all forms
of renewable energy: solid, liquid and gaseous bio-energy,
photovoltaic, solar and geothermal energy as well as wind
energy and hydropower. It is widely recognized that only by
harnessing all forms of renewable energy to power electric
motors will we be able to effectively reduce CO2 emissions
and achieve the goal of sustainability.
The Energy show presents the energy mix of the future,
showing how conventional and renewable energy technologies feed into the entire energy production chain -- from energy generation, supply, transmission and distribution to
conversion and storage. For the past two years, Energy has
been complemented by Power Plant Technology, the leading trade fair for power plant design, operation and maintenance. Energy providers and exhibitors from the energy sector will be presenting highly innovative concepts for coal,
hydroelectric and steam-driven power stations.
The Fascination of Technology:
TectoYou Captivates a Young Audience
"It is only through the efforts of highly qualified personnel that we are able to achieve what we do in terms
of technology and engineering. If we want to perform
well in the international marketplace we need a new
generation of qualified, well trained young people," remarked Dr. Dietmar Harting, Chairman of the HANNOVER MESSE Exhibitors' Committee and General
Partner of HARTING KGaA (Espelkamp) - a supporter
of the TectoYou initiative.
