On Friday, September 22, 2017. PK – Palfinger Kran company celebrated 25. anniversary of work.

Numerous friends and business partners participated in the grand celebration that took place at our central production and service facility.

The company’s founders, Andrej Rustja and Nataša Rakovac-Rustja, addressed the gathering, telling our story, which began back in 1992. years in their family home. Over the years, sales of Palfinger hydraulic truck cranes, for which we are the general representatives in Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Albania, have grown rapidly, and the need arose to establish our own production facility for the production of truck bodies, tippers, installation of cranes and the production of other vehicle upgrades. The range of truck upgrades and the number of cranes sold has been increasing at an even faster pace since then. To date, a total of 2,030 cranes, over 2,300 different upgrades, and 250 trailers and semi-trailers from our own production have been sold on our market.

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

We employ about a hundred employees in the Republic of Croatia, mostly in production, and another twenty in our own companies Palfinger Srbija, founded in 2005 and Palfinger BH, founded in 2011.

The ceremony was addressed by Palfinger Group executives Hubert Palfinger Sr. and Hubert Palfinger Jr., and Palfinger Europe Director Gerhard Sturm, emphasizing that the business relationship with the Rustja family over the past 25 years has turned into a deep friendship marked by great mutual trust. The company was also congratulated by County Prefect Zlatko Komadina and the President of the Croatian Chamber of Economy of Rijeka Vidoje Vujić, presenting the company with an award from the Croatian Chamber of Economy on the occasion of 25 years of existence and successful business.

While reminiscing about numerous successful collaborations, all guests enjoyed the good atmosphere provided by the music group Fortunal, the male klapa Kastav, and as a special surprise, the mixed choir Josip Kaplan.

We will continue to insist on the concept that has brought good results from the very beginning of the business; together with Palfinger products and our “custom made” upgrade to provide the market of the region with a superior product.
