19 January 2019 - Montenegrin Company “Meso-promet”, based in Bijelo Polje and owned by Hilmija Franca, has directed great efforts towards building a new plant for the production of meat products in Bijelo Polje. The old plant was destroyed in a great fire at the end of April last year. Acting Chief State Architect Dušan Vuksanović gave his approval for the conceptual solution for the construction of this facility to the company in May 2018.
After the fire in which the plant of the Franca – Meso-promet Company was completely destroyed last year, the plant was restored and the production lines for processing meat and meat products were re-established. The first phase of the construction works cost three million EUR. The owner, Hilmija Franca, announced that the foundation stone for a new plant will be put in spring 2019.
"I am sure that on the foundation of this plant, a new, even better plant will be built, which will positively affect not only the consumers of agricultural goods but the entire agricultural sector," said Deputy Prime Minister Milutin Simović after the catastrophic fire.
Designer of the new plant is a company from Bijelo Polje, Inteza Grupa, whose founder is Fuad Sabović, and the executive director is Fatmir Mahmutović. The conceptual solution states that instead of the old object that was demolished, a new one will be built that will have a ground floor and one floor.
Franca, who is the CEO of Meso-promet, announced at the beginning of the year for News Agency Pobjeda that Meso-promet, after a fire that almost completely destroyed the plant of this company in late April last year, has restored 30% of the plant’s capacity and will continue its reconstruction in the second half of January.
Private Company Meso-promet was established on December 10, 1990, in Bijelo Polje. The main activity of the company, as stated on the official website of this company, is the purchase, production, processing and distribution of meat and meat products. The headquarters of the company is in the north of Montenegro, in the industrial zone of Bijelo Polje, on an area of 50 thousand square metres.
