About us

History

Okovje d.o.o. is a company with a family tradition, established in 1931, which employed 60 people before the war. The company's first production program consisted of furniture fittings and ski bindings. After the end of the war, the company resumed operating as a workshop. Soon after the independence of Slovenia in 1992, the company, which was renamed Okovje, passed into the hands of the younger generation, and thus began a period of intensive investment in market research, modernization of production and the development of completely new and innovative products, especially the production 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 demand for a completely new strategy. Industrial washing machines, drying lines, buffer tanks, elevators and other dedicated machines are manufactured with proprietary technology and are unique made-to-order products. The company also sets up and manufactures lines for filling cans in series production.

From the basic components of the packaging process, the company has developed a system that enables the production 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, and a strategic partner to leading foreign companies.

Although the company meets all quality standards, we want to achieve the best possible quality of our products and services through preventive quality management. We will achieve this by fulfilling the following strategic goals: continued staff education, improving product quality with the help of the latest technological trends and the introduction of innovations (laser sheet-metal cutting machines, computer-aided 3D design …), obtaining ISO certification, and a more active marketing approach that will result in increased sales.

Mission

The mission of the company is to maintain competitive prices, product quality and a good level of communication between employees and partners.

Vision

The strategy and competitive advantage of the company are quality products at low prices compared to the competition, especially on the Western European market.
