Japanese in Zagreb plant

About ten of the leading Japanese companies during their three-day business visit to Croatia visted also the AD Plastik Plant in Zagreb. This first major visit by Japanese businessmen was organized by the Ministry of Economy, Entrepreneurship and Crafts, the Japan Embassy in Croatia and the JETRO Regional Office (Japan’s Foreign Trade Organization) in cooperation with the Investment and Competitiveness Agency, the Croatian Chamber of Economy and the Association of Foreign Investors in Croatia.

Among the Japanese businessmen there were the representatives of Mitsubishi, Japan Tobacco International, Daikin, Hino Motors, Sumitomo Electric Hartmetall, Kajimo, Mizuho Bank and Itochu. AD Plastik Group already has established business communication with the company Itochu that will surely be eased considering the enthusiasm of the company’s representatives with Zagreb plant.

„Representatives of leading Japanese companies were delighted with the technologies we use in our plant in Jankomir Zagreb, and the quality of our products. After the company’s presentation and plant tour, their impressions were best seen in the questions that they had for us. They were interested in what the switching to electric vehicles means for us, which are the benefits of the arrival of Japanese investors in Croatia, aswell as the history and development of the AD Plastik Group in a country that has no automotive industry. This was an extremely interesting and successful visit, and we are particularly pleased with the enthusiasm of Mr. Hashimoto from the company Itochu,” said Toni Štambuk, Sales Director of AD Plastik for the EU market.
