A new automotive components factory is set to be established in Inđija, where the Chinese supplier Techron Automotive will manufacture plastic parts for electric vehicle models produced by Škoda Auto and the Chinese electric vehicle brand Yilian. The project marks Techron Automotive’s first production facility outside China and reflects the growing role of Serbia in European and Asian automotive supply chains.
The factory is planned within Inđija’s industrial zone on a site of approximately 26,600 square metres, with construction of a production and warehouse hall, administrative offices, and supporting infrastructure. The total gross built area of the facility is expected to exceed 4,500 square metres once completed.
Annual production capacity is projected at more than 10.5 million plastic components, primarily for electric and hybrid vehicles. Output will include interior and structural plastic elements, protective caps, charger housings, and connector components. For Yilian’s electric models, production volumes are expected to reach nearly 5 million units per year, while components for Škoda’s electric vehicles will account for a similar scale, including specialised parts for electrical and charging systems.
The manufacturing process will involve thermal processing and injection moulding of plastic granulates, followed by finishing, quality control, and packaging. At full capacity, the plant is expected to process around 900 tonnes of plastic raw materials annually, including technical polymers commonly used in automotive applications such as polyamide and PC/ABS blends.
Initial operations are planned with a workforce of around 65 employees, covering production, administration, and sales functions. As production ramps up and additional shifts are introduced, total employment could increase to approximately 200 workers, depending on market demand and order volumes.
The facility is designed for continuous operation, with up to 330 working days per year and multi-shift production once fully operational. Local authorities view the investment as a further step in positioning Inđija and the wider region as a competitive manufacturing hub for electric vehicle supply chains, particularly in plastics and precision automotive components.
For Techron Automotive, the investment represents a strategic expansion closer to European automotive OEMs, while for Serbia it reinforces its role as a near-shoring destination for electric mobility and advanced manufacturing projects.
