Business are people at all levels
After I successfully finished my Master Degree at the Faculty of Economics I soon realized that technical knowledge alone would not be enough to run a successful company. Therefore I educated a lot in the field of »soft knowledge«; personal growth, sales, marketing, relationships, leadership etc.
This knowledge has helped me a lot at development of several productions. Today I am known to most people by my internationally successful company Silvaapis d.o.o.
Silvaapis. The story of an internationally successful family business
Silvaapis is an international successful family business, founded in 1992. We engage in export of wooden products and semi-finished products. Our main markets are the Scandinavian markets and Western Europe, we can also boast of exporting our products to Japan, South Africa and the USA.

We are the main commercial part of this cluster and the production companies (some of them are also owned by the company) are the production part of the cluster. The company Silvaapis is distinguished by excellent connections with production, high technical and developmental knowledge, responsiveness, reliability, flexibility, high quality and knowledge of production capacities of wider region.

Which business challenges can I help you with?
Startups
Do you have a great business idea and need an experienced partner who would just guide you a bit and warn you against potential traps?

Partners
Are you looking for a long-term strategic partner with rich international experience, knowledge and acquaintance with whom you could cooperate in the long run successfully and with pleasure?
