About the owner: Fortenova Group
Fortenova Group is a privately held company headquartered in Zagreb, Croatia. Brandtree records 11 brands under its control.
Fortenova Group is the largest food and retail group in Croatia and one of the largest in south-eastern Europe, operating in Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro. It says it holds more than a hundred brands, and organises them into divisions: retail, loyalty programmes, beverages, business-to-business supply, food, information technology and real estate. Its shape today is the result of a decade of disposals rather than acquisitions, and its food division has been reduced to a single company, the meat processor PIK Vrbovec.
