The European Commission fined Irish insulation maker Kingspan €40m because, at least negligently, it supplied incorrect or misleading information during the review of its 2021 plan to buy Slovenian panel maker Trimo, including on market penetration rates, the availability of bidding data, the role of board members and R&D for mineral fibre sandwich panels. The probe had been running since November 2022; of the six objections in the March 2024 Statement of Objections, the Commission dropped two. Kingspan ultimately abandoned the acquisition (European Commission, 8 Oct 2026). — Source: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_2084

As part of a restructuring, the Slovenian steel group SIJ plans to cut about 300 of its roughly 3,300 jobs in Slovenia, around 9%, mainly through natural attrition, retirement and limited replacement, above all in shared services and production administration. Management cites sharply higher energy costs and Chinese competition; a refinancing running until the end of 2028 has been agreed with the banks, and the group is also looking for a strategic partner. The figure is a target, not announced dismissals (RTV SLO, 9 Jun 2026). — Source: https://www.rtvslo.si/gospodarstvo/skupina-sij-se-bo-prestrukturirala-in-zmanjsala-stevilo-zaposlenih-za-okoli-devet-odstotkov/784791

Slovenia's directorate for infrastructure has ended the procurement for the upgrade of the Bohinj railway (line No. 70) on the Bled Jezero–Bohinjska Bela and Bohinjska Bela–Nomenj sections without signing a contract. The contract awarded in September 2025 to VOC Celje and IMP (about EUR 79.8 million incl. VAT) would, because of the review procedure lasting until the end of December and the nine-month construction period, only have been finished after the deadline of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (August 2026), so EUR 48.4 million of EU funds lapsed and a funding gap arose. The project remains a development priority; further steps will be decided once funding is secured and the timetable adjusted.

The introduction of the ETCS train protection system is complete on the Dobova–Zidani Most and Pragersko–Maribor–Šentilj lines, about 90 km in total; the infrastructure directorate reports completion for 2025. The project ran in several phases from 2017 to 2024 and cost about EUR 22.5 million, of which over EUR 6 million came from EU funds (Connecting Europe Facility); it is meant to raise safety and interoperability and to allow cross-border traffic without locomotive changes.
