Galošić: We Want to Build an Even Stronger Technology and Engineering Group

Amelicor Group today brings together four companies — Klimaoprema, Amelicor Engineering, KOER, and MCRT — and according to its current data, the Group has around 1,000 employees, 350 engineers, 50 years of experience, 50 markets, and 50,000 square meters of production space.

Amelicor Group is the umbrella group consisting of Klimaoprema, which is engaged in the development and production of equipment and systems for HVAC and clean rooms, Amelicor Engineering, which focuses on the design, execution, and engineering of clean rooms, while the German company MCRT is responsible for mobile cleanroom systems, particularly for microelectronics. KOER is a technology platform for energy management through energy technology and virtual power plants.

Sergio Galošić, CEO of Amelicor Group, will be one of the speakers at the Day of Big Plans, a conference organized by the business weekly Lider, which will take place on September 23 in Zagreb. He will speak about the business plans for this year and the next, and in the conference announcement, he tells us that the company’s plans for this year and the next, as well as mid-term, are primarily focused on further strengthening its competitiveness, through two key business segments – production and engineering.

In the production segment, he explains, the focus is on further increasing productivity and operational efficiency. This means that significant investments will continue in new technologies, automation, and artificial intelligence, but at the same time, he emphasizes, the company clearly defines what it wants to achieve with these investments: greater productivity, shorter deadlines, greater flexibility in production, and even higher quality of our products.

An Even Stronger Group

– At the same time, we want to increase the share of higher value-added products in our portfolio and further strengthen and diversify supply chains. Our goal is to solidify our position as one of the leading European manufacturers of HVAC components, primarily in Western European markets, while also expanding our presence in other European countries – says Galošić.

In the engineering segment, increasing efficiency is also one of the main priorities, as well as further development towards a strategic EPC partner for complex projects, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. Such projects, he says, require more and more knowledge, multidisciplinary approaches, and a new – more innovative approach using new technologies.

– Therefore, in the upcoming period, we will further strengthen strategic partnerships. We believe that the future lies not only in the organic growth of individual companies but also in connecting with quality partners with whom we can combine competencies, technology, capacities, and access to markets. Mid-term, we want to build an even stronger technology and engineering group that will be competitive at the European level, not only in size but primarily in knowledge, technology, efficiency, and the ability to take on increasingly complex projects and create greater added value for our customers – says our interlocutor.

Without Pessimism

We were interested in how he assesses the company’s performance over the past year in the prevailing market conditions. Galošić reminds us that we live in very unstable times, which strongly reflects on the European market, and consequently on the operations of companies, especially those in the manufacturing sector. Despite these challenges, the company has remained stable and continued to develop its business.

– The diversification of our group’s business has once again proven to be a good strategic decision. Different business segments, the markets we are present in, and a wide range of competencies have allowed us greater resilience to market disruptions and changes – says Galošić.

The European market is primary for Amelicor Group, whose economic movements are influenced by a whole range of geopolitical, energy, and economic factors, many of which are difficult to predict.

– However, I believe that the response to such a situation must not be pessimism. Europe must turn more to itself, its own industry, and its own competitiveness. We must roll up our sleeves and be aware that only through work, greater productivity, competitiveness, and efficiency can we once again strengthen the European economy. I believe that Europe has the knowledge, technology, and industrial tradition necessary to return to where it belongs – at the very top of the global economic and technological landscape. It is up to us as companies to contribute to this with our results, investments, and development – concludes Galošić.

Our interlocutor will elaborate on all of this at the 18th Day of Big Plans, which will be held on September 23 at the Westin Hotel in Zagreb. So do not miss the opportunity to mingle with the most successful entrepreneurs and register in time to participate.
