Kosovatex was rewarded several times for its qualitative production and successful business. The Enterprise had worked with a full capacity until 1990. Since 1990 because of the market realignment in ex-Yugoslavia, our Enterprise has marked a change. It must be pointed out that Kosovatex started decrease in production. Our products were positioned in the ex-Yugoslavia market – 60% of production and 40% was exported mainly in EU market. After Kosovo War, the Enterprise has started consolidation by putting into function its productive capacity in order to reach the regional and international markets.
