About us
The craft called “Stolarska radnja Ivan Ratković” was founded in 1963 by Ivan Ratković, father of the present owner in the courtyard of the family house in Varaždinske Toplice. After more than 40 years of the craftsmanship, Ivan Ratković retired and his son Miljenko took over the business with 7 employees. He continuously invests in production technology and increasing capacity. Gradually was invested in new sawmills, steam and drying rooms, giving the craft another dimension in the business. Thanks to continuous investment and expansion of capacities, the company now employs over 130 employees, and the third generation from the Ratković family is involved in the business. The company sells its products on the domestic market and exports on the foreign markets, from Europe, Africa to Asia.
