The prime minister for the provincial government in Serbia, Igor Mirovic, said in a government statement that attracting Mamminger to the country will help develop the local food industry. “We are directing significant funds to this area,” he said.
Mamminger produces jars of pickled gherkins, cucumbers, red cabbage and sauerkraut and also offers a private-label service. It is based in Mamming, a municipality in the district of Dingolfing-Landau, Bavaria.
The statement from the Serbian government said the new facility will process a third of the 15,000 tons of cucumber sourced from local farmers each year.
