Plastics producer modernizes facility and reduces waste

MNG PLASTIK-GOGIC is a privately owned company that was founded in 1974 and that employs over 170 workers today. The company’s operations are located on a 5.5-hectare plot with production halls, warehouses, offices, canteen, as well as exhibition space, all together covering 14,000 m². Clients include households, private companies but also public organizations and municipalities.

The most important products of the company are plastic bins and waste containers, which are delivered to more than 50 countries on 6 continents. Other products include items for sports activities, where the company has specialized in the production of multifunctional surfaces and chairs for stadiums as well as plastic tubs and products for home, professional and industrial use.

The success of MNG PLASTIK-GOGIC did not come by chance. It is based on strategic company development and constant innovation. Therefore, the company Plastik Gogić has invested around 15 million euros in new machinery since 2014.

In 2021 the company invested in a new central raw material transport system with silos and pipelines, which, amongst many other benefits, optimizes the material flow and reduces the company’s production waste and energy consumption. The project was realised through a leasing agreement with Intesa Leasing, financed under the SME Competitiveness Programme.

After the successful project verification, MNG PLASTIK-GOGIC received a 15% grant cash-back, funded by the European Union. Below is a selection of the EU standards now met by the company:

• Directive 2014/30/EU on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility (recast) Text with EEA relevance
• Directive 89/391/EEC introducing the measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work
• Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases and repealing Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 (Text with EEA relevance)
