History

[edit]

1991–2001: Foundation and domestic expansion

[edit]

The beginning of Atlantic Grupa dates back to 1991 when Atlantic Trade d.o.o., a company for distribution of consumer goods, was founded. In the following years, the company grew into a national distributor with distribution centres in Zagreb, Split, Rijeka and Osijek and a distribution portfolio from principals such as Wrigley, Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, etc.[8][14]

In 1991, Atlantic Trade was incorporated and the development of consumer goods distribution started across Croatia.[10]

In 1997, the company invested in the "Ataco" distribution system in Bosnia & Herzegovina.[15] In 1998, Atlantic Grupa launched the first Croatian ready-made sandwich for broad distribution named Montana.[16]

2001–present: Regional expansion

[edit]

With the opening of the representative office in Bosnia & Herzegovina in 2001 the company became a regional company,[15][5] which was in later years followed by own distribution companies in Serbia, North Macedonia and Slovenia. In addition to being a distribution company, with the acquisition of Cedevita d.o.o. in 2001, Atlantic Grupa also became a production company.[8][14]

In 2001, Atlantic Grupa acquired Croatian instant vitamin drink producer Cedevita d.o.o.[17] In the following year, it incorporated Atlantic Grupa d.o.o.[8]

In 2003, it acquired Croatian cosmetics company Neva d.o.o.[18] It also started up a distribution company Atlantic Trade Skopje d.o.o.[19] In 2004, the Croatian manufacturer of all-purpose skin and lip balm Melem, was purchased in the same year.[14]

In 2005, Atlantic Grupa acquired German sports food producer Multipower, which marked the first acquisition outside of former Yugoslavia.[20] In 2006, the company established a representative office in Moscow.[8] In the same year, the company was transformed into a joint stock company.[21][22]

In 2007, it purchased Fidifarm, leading Croatian producer of OTC medicines[20][23] Also, it acquired Serbian instant vitamin drink producer Multivita d.o.o., thus cementing leadership status in the region in the industry of vitamin drinks.[24] In the same year, after the implementation of the initial public offering of shares, Atlantic Grupa d.d. was listed on the official market of the Zagreb Stock Exchange.[25]

In 2008 the company started to acquire pharmacy institutions and form its own pharmacy chain Farmacia.[26] In 2010, it purchased Droga Kolinska, the leading Slovenian food producer, for 382 million euros.[27][8][14] The acquisition of Kalničke Vode Bio Natura d.d. came in the same year.[28]

In 2013, the company established a cooperation with Unilever.[29] In 2015, Atlantic Grupa acquired Foodland, Serbian producer of homemade fruit and vegetable products e.g. jams, juices [30]
