"Kromberg & Schubert" is part of the global Kromberg & Schubert group, whose specialty is the production of cable harnesses for the automotive industry, and has two factories in North Macedonia: in Bitola and Skopje.

"Kromberg & Schubert" Bitola has been part of the 200 LARGEST AND SUCCESSFUL family for years.

The factory in Bitola's "Zhabeni" industrial zone began the production process in 2012, and ten years later, the company expanded production and in 2022 opened its second factory in the "Ilinden" industrial zone in Skopje.

In its existence of about 13 years in our country, "Kromberg & Schubert" is one of the largest employers in North  Macedonia, contributing to the development of the Macedonian economy, but also helping to reduce the unemployment rate in the country.

For years, our staff has had the opportunity to work on projects for automotive giants such as Mercedes, Audi , Volkswagen, BMW, Škoda , etc.

The company's operational processes include four business units in cable manufacturing, On-board networks, plastic technology and mechatronics.

In 2013, when the company became part of the 200 LARGEST AND SUCCESSFUL family , the number of employees was 620, and 10 years later, in 2023, "Kromberg & Schubert" means a secure existence for 6,858 employees, only in the Bitola factory.

For years, the factory of this German giant in North Macedonia has been one of the largest employers in our country, known for taking special care of its employees.

The practice of LEAN technology – the main recipe for greater success in work

The opening of foreign investments in North Macedonia largely meant a change in the conditions for employees and an improvement in the conditions for employees in the industry.

Thus, the Kromberg and Schubert factory made a great contribution to the development of industrial culture in our country.

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 this regard, 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 .

This way of working is one of the reasons why the Kromberg & Schubert factory remains one of the most attractive places to work in our country.

Additionally, if we add to this 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.

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.

Increased revenue growth in 2023

Considering that dedicated employees can always create better results, 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.

In 2023, the company ranked 6th on the ranking list of the largest companies in our country, and 49th on the ranking list of the most successful.

"Kromberg & Schubert" in 2023 achieved total revenue of 21,688,754,079 denars and profit before tax of 371,175,103 denars.

In percentage terms, in terms of total revenues, the company achieved growth of 40.82 % compared to the previous year 2022, and the growth in profit before tax was 30.32 %.

With these figures, the company has once again shown that it remains one of the most stable companies in our country, which contributes greatly to the development of the Macedonian economy - both through direct employment of people and through cooperation with a large number of other Macedonian companies.
