Nevertheless, the group has been generating profit in the last 14 months, Gorenje said in a release on Thursday.

Velenje – Gorenje, the Chinese-owned household appliances maker, is launching production of TV sets in Velenje this week.

Velenje – Gorenje, the Chinese-owned household appliances maker, has hired around 800 extra staff since mid-August to meet an increase in orders, and is planning to open 300 more jobs by the end of the year.

The company said part of the expansion in staff was to replace existing staff who are being moved to a facility manufacturing TV sets, to be launched in January.

"With the (Chinese) Hisense Group as the majority owner, it is expected to expand production capacities to up to one million additional refrigerators, which opens space for employing 200 to 300 new workers," the eKapija website quoted an interlocutor from Gorenje.

Toshiba, which sold the first Japan-made color television in 1960, now appears to want to sell its TV business.

Some foreign buyers are said to be showing interest in taking over the unit, according to people familiar with the matter.

Potential bidders include Turkish home-appliance maker Vestel and a few Chinese rivals.
