About us
History
Okovje d.o.o. is a family-run company established in 1931, which employed 60 people before the war. The company’s initial production program included furniture fittings and ski bindings. After the war, the company resumed operations as a workshop. Shortly after Slovenia’s independence in 1992, the company—renamed Okovje once again—was passed on to a younger generation, marking the beginning of a period of intensive investment in market research, production modernization, and the development of entirely new and innovative products, particularly in the manufacturing of process equipment for the food and pharmaceutical industries.
With the new owner, who was among the most successful entrepreneurs of the year in 2002, came the need to establish an entirely new strategy. Industrial washing machines, drying lines, storage tanks, lifts, and other custom-made machines are produced using proprietary technology and are unique seasonal products designed to order. The company also sets up and manufactures can-filling lines for serial production.
From basic components for the packaging process, the company has developed a system that enables the creation of a complete can packaging line. The company also offers additional services such as maintenance and installation of machines and equipment in the process industry.
Strategy
Okovje d.o.o. aims to become one of the leading manufacturers of process equipment for the food and other industries in Slovenia within five years, as well as a strategic partner to leading international companies.
Although the company meets all quality standards, we aim to achieve the highest possible quality of our products and services through preventive management. We will accomplish this by meeting the following strategic goals: continuing employee training; improving product quality through the use of the latest technological trends and the introduction of innovations (such as laser devices for sheet metal cutting, computer-aided 3D design, etc.); obtaining ISO certification; and adopting a more active marketing approach, which will result in increased sales.
Mission
The company’s mission is to maintain competitive prices, product quality, and a strong level of communication between employees and partners.
Vision
The company’s strategy and competitive advantage lie in offering high-quality products at lower prices compared to the competition, particularly the Western European market.
