Summary
The company Silma d.o.o is located near Varaždinske Toplice. It specialises in the production of traditional domestic products, including pork meat. Demand for its products was increasing, but the company’s ability to grow was limited by its production capacity and a lack of quality control technology. The project financed the procurement of meat-processing equipment. This included electric knives for cutting meat and pallet trucks for transporting products.

The expansion has increased Silma’s annual revenue by 20%.
The investment led to the creation of two new jobs.
