Deceuninck Celebrates 20 Years of Successful Operations in Croatia

Deceuninck, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of PVC profiles for windows and doors, has ceremoniously marked 20 years of successful operations in Croatia with a celebratory event attended by Deceuninck employees from the region.

– “We proudly celebrate 20 years of successful operations and the first anniversary of our facility in Donja Bistra. Last year, together with our partners and customers from across the region, we celebrated the opening of our new facility, and this year we decided to commemorate this significant anniversary with our employees from the entire region who, along with our partners, are key to our success. Thanks to their dedication, we are now a market leader in the Adriatic region,” emphasized Mirko Anesi, Director of Deceuninck for the Adriatic region.

Since 2014, when Deceuninck Croatia had 8 employees, it has grown into a company with nearly 170 employees. With the opening of a new business-manufacturing facility in Donja Bistra last year, all business processes, from warehousing and production to management and administration, have been consolidated in one location. An investment worth nearly 7 million euros enables greater efficiency, a significant increase in capacity, and faster and more efficient delivery to over 600 partners in the Adriatic region.

2024: A Year of Innovation and Sustainability

This year has been yet another in a series of successful business years for Deceuninck in Croatia, as well as globally. The Deceuninck Group, headquartered in Belgium, has been operating since 1937. Today, it produces in 17 countries and supplies its products to 90 countries worldwide, ranking among the top three global manufacturers of PVC profiles. In addition to the quality of its PVC profiles, Deceuninck places great emphasis on sustainability, as confirmed by its overarching slogan, Building a sustainable home. In line with this, Deceuninck has also launched a campaign titled “Every Window Matters,” highlighting the sustainable aspects of its profiles and their positive impact on both living comfort and the environment and our planet.

These premium profiles guarantee excellent insulation, which ultimately results in savings and lower energy bills, as well as a smaller ecological footprint. For decades, Deceuninck has also focused on reducing CO2 emissions in its manufacturing processes, increasing the share of recycled PVC in the production of new profiles. At the end of last year, Deceuninck completed a major investment cycle in its own recycling plant in Diksmuide, Belgium, worth 25 million euros, with a recycling capacity of up to 40,000 tons per year.

New Leadership for Further Growth in the Region

With the aim of further expanding its business in the region, Deceuninck has also strengthened its organizational structure this year, and in September, Mirko Anesi took over the leadership of Deceuninck Croatia, bringing 26 years of experience in the sector, more than half of which he spent working for the Deceuninck Group. As General Manager for the Adriatic region, which includes Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia, Mirko Anesi will be responsible for all sales activities and results for these markets, as well as production and business operations at the facility in Donja Bistra.

By modernizing production processes and strengthening its organizational structure, Deceuninck Croatia has laid a strong foundation for growth and development in this market in the years to come.
