XEnergy Gains Strong Partner – Leitner Now Part Of The Ownership Structure
The renowned Italian cable car manufacturer Leitner, one of the global market leaders in the field of modern mobility solutions, has become a co-owner of the Montenegrin company XEnergy doo Podgorica (formerly Novi Volvox) through its investment holding company RopFin, acquiring a 20% stake.
The two partners are behind the construction of the Kotor–Lovćen cable car, which was completed in a record-breaking 13 months, as well as the gondola lift in the Kolašin ski resort. Work is currently underway on cable cars to the Đalovića Cave – one of the longest and best-preserved caves in Europe – and on the route from Igalo to the Ilinica viewpoint in Herceg Novi. The current projects for six-seat chairlifts in the Žarski (Mojkovac) and Cmiljača (Bijelo Polje) areas represent important building blocks of the national ski infrastructure. The collaboration has now expanded beyond Montenegro's borders: the two companies are currently building a new cable car at Crveni spust on Sljeme near Zagreb – a clear sign of their leadership in advanced mobility and sustainable infrastructure solutions in the region.
Martin Leitner, co-owner of the Leitner Group , commented on the partnership with XEnergy: "In XEnergy, we have found a reliable partner with whom we share the vision of sustainable mobility and the highest technological standards. Their professional approach, market knowledge, and operational excellence make them a respected player in the development of sustainable infrastructure in this part of Europe."
Slavoljub Popadić, Managing Director of XEnergy , commented on Leitner's arrival: "Leitner's entry into XEnergy's ownership structure is a great recognition for our team and a confirmation of the strategic path we have chosen. I see this as a clear sign that reliable partners for the most demanding infrastructure projects also come from Montenegro."
This partnership marks a new phase in the development of both companies – with a focus on innovation, regional competitiveness, and joint projects that create sustainable added value for society, investors, and all users of their solutions.
