At INO d.o.o. Žiri, the team understands that their greatest challenge comes from competitors that compete on price rather than quality. For nearly three decades, they have therefore built and maintained their competitive advantage through an outstanding, unique, innovative, and above all high-quality portfolio of products and services.
The company’s roots date back to 1991, when it began operations as a manufacturer and designer of industrial equipment. Initially focused on screen-printing machinery, INO later expanded its activities to include glass-printing machines and the automation of production lines in response to market demand. Today, the company has a clear strategy for maintaining and increasing its market share in existing markets, while also pursuing international expansion with its proprietary screen-printing equipment developed in-house.
In recent years, INO has significantly increased its sales. Approximately one-third of its products and services are sold in the domestic market, while the remaining two-thirds are exported to European Union member states and markets beyond the EU.
To turn these ambitious plans into reality, the company decided to invest in new machining equipment, including a CNC milling machine and a lathe. The investment will enable INO to shorten delivery times, increase production capacity, and further improve the quality of metal component processing for its customers. To finance these investments, the company secured additional funding through the Fund of Funds programme.
Speaking about the process of obtaining Fund of Funds financing through participating banks, Managing Director Blaž Mur said:
“When a banking advisor presents all the features and benefits of Fund of Funds financing at exactly the right time, the decision to make a much-needed investment becomes much easier.”
