In the past, the dream of working on projects for top automotive brands like Mercedes, BMW , Audi was only possible for our youth if they went beyond the borders of our country.

But today, that dream is achievable here too, thanks to the opening of two factories of the international company "Kromberg & Schubert" in North Macedonia.

This world leader in the production of cable harnesses for the automotive industry has been carrying out part of its production here, in our country, for 13 years, and employs more than 8,500 people in its factories in Bitola and Skopje.

It is a company that has been part of the 200 LARGEST AND SUCCESSFUL family for years, and is considered an employer where employees come first.

"Our people are our strongest asset" - is the motto of the company, which employs over 50,000 people globally, and in the countries where it opens its factories, it imposes new standards of operation and care for its employees.

As one of the largest employers in our country , the company is also considered one of the best places to work, thanks to several factors.

Employees are their strongest asset

In addition to offering the opportunity to work for a European company and famous brands without leaving the country's borders, "Kromberg & Schubert" is a company that is recognizable for taking special care of its employees.

The company is guided by the motto "Our people are our strongest asset", and in its operations it practices the so-called LEAN working methodology, which is known for having a large number of positive aspects.

It is a systemic approach to improving the work process and minimizing costs, and is built on two key principles: continuous progress and respect for people.

Originally, this concept was developed by Toyota in the mid-20th century, and today it is applied in a large number of industries and companies.

In that direction, the company constantly takes care to reduce unnecessary waste of time and resources, while the entire process is focused on complete customer satisfaction through dedication to creating high-quality products and employee focus.

Additionally, if we take take into consideration the working conditions offered by the company in the form of: regular income (which was often a problem in the past in Macedonian industrial facilities), opportunity for advancement, full-time employment, paid transportation and a paid hot meal, regular bonuses for regularity and efficiency, payment of vacation pay - it becomes clear how important foreign investments of this type are for the development and changes in Macedonian industrial culture.

But this is not all .

"Kromberg & Schubert" is also recognizable for its motivational activities for employees, choosing a "hero of the day", team-building events, in the form of joint gatherings, dinners, etc.

Organizing events that demonstrate the highest level of care for the health and well-being of employees, events marking the beginning of the school year, holidays, and the like only show that in these factories all employees receive equal treatment regardless of the position and function they perform.

In other words, every employee in the company is part of a well-organized work process that helps build the brand and continue to exist as a leader in its industry.

With such operating standards, the German giant has established itself as an attractive company to work for in our country and has contributed to a significant improvement in the economic situation in the country.

Dedicated employees can always create better results, so it is no wonder that the company has been part of the family of the largest and most successful companies in our country for a decade.
