Chaudhary Group (CG), a diversified multi-national conglomerate headquartered in Nepal, is all set to start production of its popular Wai Wai noodles from its plant at Ruma in Serbia, expanding its footprint in the European market.

The company said the construction of the plant is nearing its completion.

CG Chairman Binod Chaudhary met Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, and energy, transport and agriculture ministers, in Ruma on Thursday. During the meeting, Vucic thanked Chaudhary for the investment in Serbia.

The company plans to employ more than 1,200 individuals in its Serbian unit. “This is a step forward to take Nepali enterprise at the international arena,” said Chaudhary, after meeting with the Serbian prime minister.

On the same occasion, the mayor of Ruma thanked CG for its collaboration with the local government and entrepreneurs while establishing the production unit.

Wai Wai will reach to consumers of 30 nations from the plant once it starts production. It is also the first industry of CG in Europe.
