The
SIMPO Company is a production-business group, one
of the largest and most successful Serbian companies.
Major fields of SIMPO’s activities are production
of furniture, food and beverage industry, trade and
transportation.
SIMPO is the absolute leader in production of furniture within the country,
as well as one of the leading companies from this
part of Europe. It is a renowned producer of furniture,
exporting to the EU, Near East and Asia, as well as
to the USA, Canada and Australia.
SIMPO's competitiveness is based on the state-of-the-art technology, exquisite
aesthetics and design, top quality and maximal functionality
of its products.
The Company has developed from the furniture factory
"Sima Pogacarevic", established in Vranje
in 1963, which was employing 371 workers and producing
only two types of furniture.
Four years after an unsuccessful beginning, in 1967,
with the arrival of new management led by Mr. Dragan
Tomic, current president of the Company, the factory
has taken the route of a constant ascent. Since then,
SIMPO's dynamic development has remained uninterrupted,
even in the period of the roughest crises of the Serbian
economy during the last decade of 20th century.
Nowadays SIMPO is a stock company for production,
trade and services with near 7,000 employees and 80
small, middle-sized and large factories and enterprises.
Company has its own network of 80 outlets and department
stores throughout the country.
Strategic principle according to which SIMPO has been developed is the rounding-up
of the production process from the production of the
wooden construction materials and materials for reproduction
to the final production of furniture, by which our
company is unique in Europe. All the equipment and
technology are adapted to the technological and ecological
criteria of the EU.
In addition, SIMPO has entered the program of agribusiness, food and beverage
industry by the middle of the last decade of 20th
century, with its factories with state-of-the-art
technologies for confectionery programs, milk chocolate
and organic food. Our outstanding brand within this
field is ROSA, the natural oligomineral water of exquisite
quality and pureness, bottled in full accordance with
the EU and WHO standards.
In the field of trade and retail, Company owns SI-MARKET chain of supermarkets,
with over 170 outlets, as well as its own companies
and representative offices abroad, which carry out
foreign trade.
SIMPO also possesses a transport and freight-forwarding enterprise. Its motor
pool is the largest in the country, with the renowned
brands of freight vehicles and trucks.
SIMPO owns one exclusive hotel in Vranje, several catering objects, and a tourist
agency.
SIMPO is in the publishing business too. Its living magazine KUCA STIL is among
top-quality ones of that kind, standing apart by its
content, design and circulation.
Besides company’s Interior Design Center, there is
SIMPO Line firm specialized in interior design and
furnishing, operating by the “turnkey” principle.
SIMPO Line has done interior designs and furnishing
of many hotels, business centers, banks, offices and
residential buildings from the Mediterranean Region
to the North Sea. Hotel “Intercontinental” Belgrade
and the “Sava” Congress Center Belgrade are some of
them.
