Braslovče – BSW Timber, a Scottish forestry group, has shelved plans to build a large sawmill in Gomilsko, west of Celje, due to delays in the construction of a key connecting road and local opposition to the plan. It may however build the sawmill elsewhere in Slovenia.
The news was confirmed for the STA by Janez Mazej, a representative for BSW Timber in Slovenia. He said there were several other locations under consideration in Slovenia but he could not reveal any details until appropriate agreements were signed.
The Ministry of Economic Development and Technology meanwhile told the STA that talks with BSW Timber were ongoing and that it could not provide any more detailed information. BSW Timber has recently filed an application for an investment incentive from the state.
