The most suitable location was chosen to be the village of Sevojno near Tito\u2019s U\u017eice, which soon became the center of the largest youth work action in Serbia that year. Thousands of young men and women from across the country joined forces to build a factory that would shape the region\u2019s industrial development. The youth work actions continued over the next two years, involving around 19,000 participants.
In the autumn of 1954, the first machines were put into trial operation. From the day the founding decree was issued to the casting of the first copper, four years, two months, and 24 days had passed.
Today, 75 years later, the Copper Mill Sevojno is more than just a factory. It is an institution of knowledge, labor, and solidarity. A place where generations have found not only employment, but also community, professional growth, and life-long security.<\/p>\n
