He commented on the cooperation with the company XEnergy Martin Leitner, co-owner of the Leitner Group:

"In XEnergy, we have found a reliable partner with whom we share the vision of sustainable mobility and high technological standards. Their professionalism, market knowledge and operational excellence make them a respectable player in the development of sustainable infrastructure in this part of Europe," Leitner pointed out.

“The decision to include Leitner as a co-owner not only confirms our long-term strategic direction and market credibility, but also opens new doors for international projects and technology transfer,” emphasized the CEO of XEnergy doo. Slavoljub Popadić.

This strategic acquisition for XEnergy is the crowning achievement of a multi-year partnership with Leitner on demanding infrastructure projects in the field of vertical transport in Montenegro and the region.

In addition to the Kotor-Lovćen cable car, completed in a record 13 months, and the gondola at the Kolašin ski resort, work is underway on the cable car to Đalovića Cave, one of the longest and best-preserved caves in Europe, as well as on the route from Igalo to the Ilinica viewpoint in Herceg Novi. There are also ongoing projects for six-seater cable cars at the Žarski (Mojkovac) and Cmiljača (Bijelo Polje) locations, which represent an important part of Montenegro's ski infrastructure.

The cooperation has since expanded beyond the borders of Montenegro, and the two companies are currently working on the construction of a cable car on the Red Descent on Sljeme near Zagreb, confirming their leadership position in the field of advanced mobility and sustainable infrastructure in the region.

In addition to vertical transport, XEnergy, a member of the XE Group from Podgorica, operates through two key divisions:

  • Engineering, energy and project management, including building construction, civil engineering and complex energy solutions and other projects of high electro-mechanical complexity;
  • Import and distribution of premium installation materials, with a focus on energy systems, HVAC, water management and environmental protection.

Since its establishment in 2009, as New Volvox, the company has positioned itself as one of the leaders in the energy infrastructure market, and as a partner of choice for major international brands. XEnergy successfully implements international quality standards (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018) and works on continuous improvement of operational efficiency and introduction of innovations.

For five years now, the company has been at the top of Montenegrin business rankings, including the prestigious "Top Business Montenegro", where it has been repeatedly awarded as a leader in the medium-sized enterprise category, as well as in the construction industry. It enjoys a reputation as a reliable and fiscally responsible partner and is continuously on the so-called "White List" of taxpayers of the Revenue and Customs Administration of Montenegro.

This partnership symbolizes a new phase in the development of both companies, with a focus on innovation, regional competitiveness, and joint projects that create long-term value for the community, investors, and all users of their solutions.

The annual revenues of Leitner (HTI Group) reach over 1,4 billion, which clearly shows that the entry of such an industrial giant into the ownership structure of XEnergy represents a strategic step forward not only for the company, but also for positioning Montenegro on the map of sustainable infrastructure in Europe.
