The company headquarters and assembly plant are located on the former site of Zastava Automobiles (1953–2008) – 70 miles south of Belgrade on the Lepenica river in the country's central Šumadija region. Heavily damaged during the NATO Bombing of Yugoslavia, the factory was completely renovated and modernized, reopening in April 2012[7] as one of Europe's state of the art car factories.[8][9]
The operation currently has roughly 2,000 employees and works closely with 15 other companies and component suppliers, many located at the adjacent Grosnica Supplier Park — with a combined workforce of roughly 6,000 tied to production at Fiat Serbia. The factory has a daily output of roughly 400 cars.[10]
The JV is the largest foreign industrial investment in Serbia[11] and as the country's largest exporter, with exports valued at 1 billion euro ($1.1 billion) in 2016.[11]
