HK PK "YUMCO" A.D. Vranje is a joint stock company whose history dates back to 1960, with the decision to establish the People's Committee of the Vranje district. The main activity of the newly formed company was the production of various types of cotton yarn and fabrics. In 1964, trial production began. At that time, the factory employed 1,200 workers in four plants: Spinning, Preparation, Weaving and Finishing. A year later, regular production started and in the next decade, high results were achieved in work, primarily in production, sales, but also in the growth of employees' salaries. This enabled the first large investments, but also a job for another 900 workers.

The Cotton Mill entered the second decade of its existence as a renowned producer of yarn and fabric. In 1978, with the opening of the Factory "Konca" and "Konfekcije", the production of thread and clothes began. In the eighties and early nineties of the twentieth century, the new concept of "Yumco" united all the clothing in Vranje, Vladicin Han, Surdulica and Preslap factory "Yumco" Vranje. Factories were also built in Golemo Selo, Radovnica, Presevo, Kosovo Polje, Bosilegrad, Bujanovac and Kosovska Mitrovica, 5,000 workers were hired. Socially-owned enterprise PKV "Yumco" in 1995. is transformed into the Yumco Cotton Combine Holding Company, and a wide range of men's, women's and children's clothing and knitwear, with recognizable designs and models, is delivered to the market through its own retail network and transport.

The sanctions slowed down the intensive growth of the Company, but it did not stop its production and its investments. As one of the production units of "Yumco", in Bujanovacka Banja, a modern factory for the production of water and soft drinks "BIVODA" was built, which began operating in late 2000. The period of transition of the Serbian economy was the most difficult in the development of our company. In those years, there was a reorganization in the work that led to the recovery and gradual return of production to the old capacities. At the beginning of 2011, the Privatization Agency made a decision to start the process of restructuring "Yumco", during which the privatization model will be determined.
