History edit

MIN was founded in 1884 as Railways workshop (Serbian: Железничке радионице / Železničke radionice) for the maintenance and repair of rolling stock. It was founded after construction of Belgrade-Niš railway. By the year 1890 the assembly, sawmills, steel foundry, forge, pattern shop and tool room were established. With their integration and the integration of other sectors that have emerged later, the Mechanical Industry Niš (MIN) was founded.[citation needed]

MIN was one of the main companies who maintained Yugoslav Railways diesel locomotives. It has also produced several diesel locomotives series for both railways and industry. At peak MIN employed 17.000 workers.[2]

In April 2015, around 500 employees took severance payments and the company went into bankruptcy procedure.[3]
