SloveniaThe Kansai Helios group, which includes the Slovenian company Helios TBLUS, has decided to reorganize its operations in the former Yugoslavia by gradually relocating the production of architectural coatings from Chromos in Zagreb to Helios' facility in Količevo near Domžale, Slovenia, and to the Serbian town of Gornji Milanovac. The decision is part of a broader restructuring effort by the Japanese-owned Kansai Paint group, which acquired Helios from the Austrian Ring International in 2017. The move aims to create a more efficient organization better equipped to handle future challenges. Production at Chromos in Zagreb will eventually cease, while the Slovenian and Serbian facilities will take over. The relocation follows growing concerns about the deteriorating business environment in Slovenia and the increasing attractiveness of Croatia’s more favorable business conditions.
