The Osijek Jabil centre project was developed by Log Expert, a leader in the field of large-scale construction projects. Over 1000 people from 140 different companies worked on it over a period of fifteen months. Within the new Osijek Jabil centre itself is equipment for surface mount technology for printed circuit board assemblies, automated system-level assembly, functional testing, packaging and much more. In the future, the plan is to add injection molding machines, which will further expand the centre’s overall production capabilities.

The Jabil company otherwise employs more than 15,000 people in 14 countries across Europe, and the new Osijek centre is Jabil’s first greenfield investment in Europe in the last 20 years.
Morales also emphasized the strategic importance of the new centre: “Owing to the highly qualified and educated workforce, the proximity to several key markets and state-of-the-art infrastructure, Jabil’s centre in Osijek is fully prepared to meet the needs of our clients. All of us at Jabil are excited about working with local partners, providing high-quality jobs and contributing to the long-term economic development of the region. We look forward to further growth and development of the centre and our presence in general here in Croatia”.
The official opening of Jabil’s centre of excellence for production in Osijek will take place later this year.
