Višković, Pašalić and Tomaš visited Mladegs Pak

Prime Minister Radovan Višković, the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management of the Republic of Srpska Boris Pašalić, and the Mayor of Prnjavor Darko Tomaš visited the company, Mladegs Pak.

During the visit, the guests toured the company's production facilities and discussed new projects launched by the company in order to completely modernize the process.The new ketchup factory, one of the main projects, is coming to an end. The total value of the project is estimated at 5m euros.

The big next step is the tomato plantation project, which would provide the company with its own raw materials and thus complete the ketchup production process.This was exactly what was discussed at the last session of the Government of Srpska, which made a decision to raise the issue of issuing a concession to this business entity, in order to encourage domestic production in that way as well.

"It is not a tomato that is made in greenhouses, it is a completely different type of production where specific machines are needed. This enables, not only this business entity but also future subcontractors who want to cooperate with them" said Prime Minister Višković.

Minister Boris Pašalić confirmed how important this step would be for the company itself, saying that in this way the company will no longer depend on imported products and suppliers of raw materials because a significant part will be produced on its own plantations.Export manager Mladen Pratljačić also commented on the current situation. He assessed the situation as good, but also noted that there are big turbulences in the market, that supply chains have been broken, and that prices are rising every day.

The primary production of the company is ketchup, and it produces as much as 54 tons of ketchup per day. In addition to ketchup, the company has over 350 items in its range. It earns 27 million KM annually, and almost 50 percent is outside BiH because it exports its products throughout Europe. The expansion of the company is in the interest of the local community because it will create conditions for new jobs.

This is not the only project in which they participate, this company has been showing its social responsibility for many years by participating in all activities carried out by the local community and individuals, but what is a special pleasure is that we got a modern park from an old park, "he said. is Tomas.

The renovation of the park was realized according to the idea and in memory of the deceased co-owner of the company "Mladegs Pak" Srdjan Vrhovec, and according to the project of his daughter Jelena Popović.

Tomas expressed satisfaction that Prnjavor residents of all ages can now use the park for rest and recreation in full capacity, but also stressed that without the idea and support of the Vrhovac family, this project would not have been realized. "What I am convinced of is that this park will serve exactly the purpose that Srdjan Vrhovac imagined, and that is that our citizens have one of the most beautiful places here in the city," Tomas added.

From family business to record exports - Thousands of European and African customers choose Bonito

Back in 1989, a successful family story began in Prnjavor, which is an example that with persistent work and uncompromising belief in quality, it is possible to build a company in BiH that creates new value and contributes to almost 200 employees, their families and the local community. Today, the company "Mladegs Pak" does just that and achieves some of the best results in the country.

Production for respectable European chains

Building its success primarily on quality, as evidenced by the world's highest food certificates HACCP, ISO and IFS, the company's products for years have been satisfied with thousands of customers of European retail chains such as Lidl, Aldi, Rewe, Penny, SPAR and others for which the company produces. Not neglecting the importance of exports, "Mladegs Pak" and employees of this domestic producer point out that they always prefer to choose domestic raw materials of proven quality, to complete the production process in our country and thus provide the best quality needed for quality and delicious food in family lunch.

"Bonito" ketchup is a favorite of customers in Africa as well

For 30 years, there has been a domestic brand "Bonito" with an assortment of over 350 food products, whose recognizable leader and everyone's favorite side dish is certainly "Bonito" ketchup. The latest proof of quality is the success of this ketchup in the new market, this time far beyond the European markets, in the Angolan market.

The inhabitants of this great African country have shown that we have a similar taste when it comes to ketchup, and they reacted well to the quality and taste of ketchup from BiH.

"The first quantity of 100 tons of ketchup has already been used by our customers in Angola, so we reacted quickly and delivered new quantities, and next year we plan to increase these quantities to meet the growing demand for our products in this market," said Miso Lambic, Sales Director companies. In addition to Angola, Lambić cites the markets of other countries in Africa as new export targets, and for joint successes he emphasizes the merits and efforts of the partner distribution company Nelt, a leader in distribution and logistics solutions for the entire region and beyond. #MladegsPak #Bonito

"Far Angola with its 25 million inhabitants is a very challenging market with many different customs and traditions, both in terms of culture and cuisine. At least now we can say that our tastes are similar when it comes to ketchup ", reveals Mirko Malešević, the export manager who made this trade venture possible. He adds that the popularity of ketchup in Angola was certainly helped by the sympathetic coincidence of the name of the brand "Bonito", which in Portuguese, which is predominantly spoken by the local population, means beautiful or good.

New successes in the domestic market as well as in the field of exports are not a novelty for "Mladegs Pak", which for the results in 2020 was declared the first in BiH in terms of revenue in its industry.
