"Droga-Kolinska" prepares construction of candy factory in Serbia

Slovenian company "Droga-Kolinska", which owns 26 companies outside the borders of the mother country, invested more than 100m EUR in Serbia in 2005 and 2006.

This group, the owner of 75% of stocks of "Štark", 80% of stocks of "Palanački kiseljak" and strategic partner to "Grand kafa", realized income of 234m EUR in 2005, whereas the profit amounted to 34m EUR.

According to the words of the Head of the Administrative Board of Slovenian company, Robert Ferk, "Kolinska" is focused on continuation of partnership with "Grand kafa" on long-term basis, which creates opportunity for marketing products from Serbia in Slovenia and entire EU.

- The plan is to have the factory built in Serbia in which candies and coffee would be produced. AT the moment, however, we are not taking any concrete moves, because we are too busy with the investments in other markets - said general manager of the company Robert Ferko.
