We at Mraz are committed to providing the best possible products and services through our highly skilled and dedicated employees and our state of the art production facilities. Our mission is not merely to satisfy our customers, but to exceed their expectations by implementing new and innovative technological solutions that enable us to offer the highest quality available at an affordable and competitive price.
Sewing, like hardly any other skill, is a unique combination of creative expression and practicality. Our company strives to meet world standards, as well as the needs of a large number of satisfied customers. Originally founded in 1984 by Mr. Radivoj Kovačević, Mraz started as a small tailor shop, as a family business in the small town of Pale. Since then, the company has grown exponentially to where we are today, operating with four different production facilities in the towns of Pale, Rogatica, Foča and Nevesinje, with a workforce of over 400 workers. The size and scope of our work has increased dramatically, but we are proud to say that we have maintained our impeccable attention to detail and dedication to meeting the needs of our customers.
Today, we produce clothes for several world-famous brands such as Greiff, Kübler and Uvex, as well as maintaining our own tailoring.
This facility commenced operations in August 2021 when the first group of 60 employees from our company stepped into the renovated facility that once belonged to the prestigious textile company Javor Ivanjica, whose reputation dates back to the early 1990s. As a result of dedication and hard work, by the end of 2022, this facility employed 130 workers, and our goal is to increase that number to 150, in line with the original project and the facility's capacity. It is impressive that the majority of our employees have extensive experience in the production of lightweight clothing, with a particular focus on making shirts for the Italian market. Their rapid adaptation to working with semi-heavy materials for the production of PPE gear was not a major challenge, thanks to their dedicated approach and eagerness to learn. Over time, we had the privilege of hiring those who did not have prior experience in the textile industry. It is significant to note that we provided them with comprehensive theoretical and practical training, enabling them to successfully perform all tasks today. It is important to mention that the Mraz company has invested significant resources in equipping this facility with state-of-the-art machinery. The total investment, which includes the purchase of the facility, equipment procurement, retraining, and worker training, amounted to an impressive €1,000,000 by the end of 2022. Although we have achieved significant successes, our commitment to this project remains unwavering. Expansion of the industrial facility and the acquisition of cutting-edge machinery are in the plans. This will enable increased productivity and added flexibility in the production of various lines, including PPE gear, fashion, and gourmet fashion. The successful journey so far is a testament to the dedication, effort, and expertise of our workers. We continue to grow and develop together, in line with the vision and goals we have set for the future.
This facility fully belongs to the Mraz company, just like the one in Nevesinje. At the end of 2022, 50 production workers worked here, and it started working in mid-2017. In September 2022, a modern production hall was built next to the existing facility. Inside it is a machinery park that meets the highest quality standards for the production of white goods. These changes improved the visibility of the production process and increased the efficiency of operations. The working area of this facility meets the highest European standards. It has modern lighting, adequate height and an efficient system for maintaining optimal working temperature. Most of the employees in this plant have been working for the Mraz company since the very beginning, so they have acquired high expertise in performing their production tasks, which results in high productivity. To ensure the smooth and efficient functioning of this system of four production plants, where over 400 people work workers, warehouses were also built, and the Mraz company formed its own military park for daily transport between plants. The new central warehouse facility in Pale was built at the end of 2022. Now, together with the existing warehouses, it provides a total of 1,500 m2 of warehouse space. The central warehouse uses a pallet system, and the monitoring of the input, status and output of materials and finished products is performed using a software solution developed especially for the Mraz company. The Mraz company is the only textile company in BiH and the region that has developed special software and an application for smartphones, which enables monitoring of daily work performance of workers, reporting problems and requests for days off, etc. This program was developed in order for the company's management to have a better insight into the realization of production plans, and it also enables our international partners to receive accurate and timely information about the deliveries of their products.
This unit was founded in 2020, and at the end of 2022, about 90 workers worked in it. The production hall covers an area of 1250 m2 and includes a sewing room, finishing, storage area, dining room, administrative offices and sanitary facilities. Although the factory was built back in 1985, the conditions are still adequate, although reconstruction and modernization would be welcome. Despite the age of the facility, modern sewing equipment is used here, which enables high quality and solid productivity in the production of protective clothing, which is the specialization of this factory. Many of our workers in this factory have previous experience in textile production, which enables the processing of more demanding textile products. The drive is equipped with its own generator in case of interruption of the electricity supply. It is important to note that this facility is not owned by the Mraz company, but is leased on a long-term basis.
