25 years of company PK – Palfinger Kran d.o.o.

On Friday 22.09.2017. company PK – Palfinger Kran d.o.o. celebrated its 25th anniversary of work.

Numerous friends and business partners participated in the great celebration held in the space of our central production and service facility.

The founders of Andrej Rustja and Natasa Rakovac-Rustja turned to the gathered people, apologizing to our story that began in 1992 in their family home. Throughout the year, sales of the Palfinger hydraulic truck cranes for which we are general deputies in Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Albania have accelerated and the need to set up our own production facility for truck cranes, and making other vehicle upgrades. The pile of truck upgrades and the number of cranes sold since then increases at an even faster pace. To date, in our market there are a total of 2030 cranes, over 2300 different upgrades, and 250 trailers and semi-trailers from our own production.

In the past years we have developed into a leading supplier in Croatia and export our own products to Germany, Austria, UAE and Finland.

We employ about 100 employees in the Republic of Croatia, mostly in production, and another twenty in our own companies Palfinger Srbija d.o.o., established in 2005 and Palfinger BH d.o.o. established in 2011.

At the celebration, the audience of Palfinger Hubert Palfinger Sen was contacted by the audience. and Hubert Palfinger jr. and Director of Palfinger Europe Gerhard Sturm, stressing that the business relationship with the Rusty family over the past 25 years has turned into a deeply friendly relationship characterized by great mutual trust. The companies also congratulated Zlatko Komadin, prefect, and the president of Croatian Chamber of Commerce of Rijeka, Vidoje Vujić, with the recognition of the Croatian Chamber of Commerce for 25 years of existence and successful business.

In memory of numerous successful co-operation, all guests enjoyed the good atmosphere that was provided by the Fortunal music group, the Klapa Kastav and a special surprise, the mixed choir Josip Kaplan.

We will continue to persevere in the concept that brings good results from the beginning of business; together with Palfinger products and our “custom made” upgrade to provide the region’s top quality product.
