Award 100% Lider Invest
AD Plastik has won the award 100% Lider Invest in the category of the best medium investment, which relates to investment in a new painting line amounting to HRK 141 million.
Lider Invest is a new project for the selection of the best manufacturing investments in Croatia which has been launched with the aim of giving credited social recognition to entrepreneurs who have dared to invest in manufacturing. The goal is to encourage entrepreneurs who are thinking about investment, but also to emphasize the importance of production in the Croatian economy.
„Given that we are working in a highly competitive industry on the global market, such awards make us extremely proud because we have won nominations for new deals that are realized in Croatia thanks to the investment in painting line. By 2020 more than EUR 100 million is planned to be realized and thanks to the investment, we have hired more than 120 new employees. In the period from 2012 to 2014 we realized a large investment cycle in order to increase production capacities regarding existing technologies and to improve process. Such investments are justified by long-term business agreements and realization growth. The Edison project that has had the greatest impact on the increase in production over the past year certainly is a confirmation of AD Plastik’s capability and a good platform for realization of new deals in the future,“ said director of Zagreb production site Zlatko Bogadi when receiving the award.
