"The most important resource for success are the people"

Lukan Gerov is one of those people who have seen with their own eyes how our plant has developed over the years. He not only watched, but also actively participated in all these processes. He grew up in the company and the company grew up with him.

He started his career at the factory in 1990, in the old Electrolysis production as a worker - apprentice. Lukan shares how in the very beginning they worked with old technologies and needed many improvements.

The privatization of the plant in 1997 found him already a responsible and growing youth, with a brigade of 20 men under his supervision and responsibilities for production maintenance. Changes in the organization then happened very dynamically and shifted him from maintenance into technology.

In 2008, Lukan was a member of the team that commissioned the new Refinery, built using Australian technology according to the best available technques in the world. A lot of copper has passed through his hands and countless valuable experiences - through his heart for the past 34 years.

Very soon, the “groundbreaking" of the expansion of our  Refinery is coming - a project that costs millions and that will increase production capacity and make us even more high tech.

“The most important resources for the success, however, are the people” - that’s what Lukan believes in, and we believe with him. And when people who have the same values and follow a common goal come together in one place, amazing things happen.
