Our History
The joint stock company "EVROPA" dates from 1882, when it was formed as a craftsman's workshop for production of candy, lokum and similar products from sugar, with daily capacities of 250 kg and five employees on 150 m2 working surface.
In that time the equipment in the workshop was very modest - some copper cauldrons (built from bricks and clay) for production of candy mass and boiling of lokum, marble slabs for cooling the lokum mass.

Apart from the investments which considered the production processes mechanization, the continual improvement of the quality of the products was also considered by engaging the best masters in this job.

The pre-war and the war condition in the country during the two world wars, imposed a period of stagnation in the work of "EVROPA". The post-war years are a period when under hampered conditions only some of the products were produced.

When in 1952 there were conditions for dislocating the factory in "new" premises, previously adapted and adjusted for the factory's needs, a period came convenient for partly realization of the already prepared investment program.
In accordance with this purchase of new equipment for production of candy and caramels started and technology in all phases for chocolate production (cocoa beans roasting, preparation of the cocoa mass, dyeing and casting). The change of the existing with a completely new modern equipment in the candy and chocolate plant contributed to production growth, high quality and wide range of products.

The catastrophic earthquake from 1963 caused serious damages to the factory, but thanks to the approved financial assets (credits), efforts were made in building modern working premises and new modern technologies in the chocolate department, introducing new kinds of products - chocolate desserts.
The newly built premises provided forming a modern production unit for wafer products. In this period there was also some reconstruction, modernization and expansion in the other factory plants.

The investment activity continued in the period between 1989-1992 and it provided a high level of development in the following years, with an increased production, sales and very good financial results.

The greatest production was achieved in 1991 (8,893 t) and sale (9,154 t).
