Industrial manufacturing and equipment assembly are subcontracted to partners based in Croatia, in line with our design studies and plans.
Hrvoje Meden, our joint managing partner and head of industrial production, is originally from Croatia. A shipbuilding engineer by training, his studies in Rijeka gave him an easy entry into the fields of mechanics and engineering and enabled him to identify some very good industrial production solutions.
Industrial production has been an important part of the Croatian economy for many years. 50 years ago, Croatia had companies specialising in the manufacture of conveyor belts, with thousands of employees. Today, the country’s industrial landscape has changed. The companies are smaller and family-run, but the industrial know-how in the manufacture of conveyors has remained intact.
So, when our two partners, Hrvoje Meden and Olivier Dobelle, decided to start manufacturing conveyors in 2007, working with experienced partners in the industry was an obvious choice.
From the very beginning, several partnerships were formed. Each of our suppliers has complementary skills and specialties that enable us to manufacture innovative, customised conveyor solutions tailored to your needs and uses.
This know-how, combined with high manufacturing standards, enables us to provide you with robust equipment, with acceptable manufacturing and delivery times, at a competitive price.
This shared culture, which unites SAUTEC and its partners, has made this collaboration a success since 2007.
