In addition to providing the market with the highest quality oak and ash parquet for years, and offering briquettes for firewood and all types of Oak materials, technologically equipped and personnel-trained leader in the production of Parquet on our market, GRAKOM SN will offer the market the highest quality prepared, oiled and ready-to-install floors in a few months.

Flexibility in business is, without a doubt, one of the conditions for survival on the market, and this is best shown by the example of GRAKOM Sn from Belgrade, a company that has turned 22 years of existence these days. In that period, this private company, adapting to market conditions, has changed its work program several times, and in the last ten years, dealing with wood processing, with permanent investments and development, GRAKOM SN has become a leader in the production of oak parquet on this market.

• After its founding in 1992. for years, we were engaged in construction works, renovated, built and built, and we also built some new facilities, so that in times of Great Inflation, we started dealing with trade. Namely, during the sanctions, the construction industry decreased, and social companies could not import, so we managed and imported for them, private citizens – remembers the owner and director of the company GRAKOM SN, Mr. Slobodan Ničević.
• We imported bearings, other parts and machines, as well as black metallurgy, supplied large systems: EPS, power plants, mines, but soon EPS started paying us with bills of exchange with which we closed the consumption of electricity with large systems such as Bane Sekulić, Toza Marković, Cementara Beočin, Popovac, and from these companies we received construction materials in compensation. That is why we opened two large warehouses of building materials in the Port of Belgrade, and that went on for a while, but that business also gradually declined. In the meantime, we bought and arranged a plot of 70 acres on Batajnica road and built a building of 1800 square meters on it. Here we moved the warehouse and started the production of pallets, then friezes and soon parquet. We are now in the process of manufacturing the floors, which, I hope, we will export for the most part. GRAKOM SN has gradually, but permanently developed, technologically equipped and conquered the market with a quality product. Just last year, we invested about one million euros in machines, we bought one truck and a new briquette machine, and the complete production of briquettes goes to the Western market. We invest every earned dinar, so we bought another one in addition to our plot and entered negotiations for the construction of another Hall of close to 3,000 square meters, and we also bought a new Šchroeder’s machine. We have a perfect location that will be even more attractive with the construction of the New Bridge on the Danube and the completion of the Batajnica loop. We have our own name, correct relationship with suppliers and customers, we are technologically certainly among the best equipped companies, we have professional and trained workers, and that is why our parquet is of the highest quality, and so it will be with floors at the end of this year – says Mr. Slobodan Ničević.

“We have been successfully and for a long time in the production of elements for export and it works perfectly. Every year, we increase sales by about 20%. This year we made the decision not to export semi-finished products anymore, but to start with the finalization, so in a few months we will have a fully prepared final product, oiled floors ready for installation. We will make them in two thicknesses, 20 and 15 mm and they will be able to be placed on floor heating – explains Nenad Ničević.

• Logically, we will continue to work parquet, because we are leaders in the parquet market, but we will also do some thinner variants. Our goal is to refresh it a little, and it should be said that this machine we bought allows us to triple the production. It’s not working at full capacity now, but it will soon.

It should also be said that there are enough certified raw materials, we have contracts with JP Vojvodinašume and JP Srbijašume and we have no problems there. Last year, we had a FSC certificate.We have certificates for all classes of parquet floors, and as soon as we enter the production of floors, we will also do certificates for floors. We have precision machines that will bring wood processing to perfection, we have nice packaging, and we will try to make everything else appropriate to our previous practice, that is, in the production of floors, in a few years, we will be what we are now in the production of parkrt. GRAKOM SN plans to equip a representative showroom in the new hall, for the construction of which the project has been prepared, and the space, they say, will be enough, because with the current and newly built, the production space will almost reach 5,000 square meters. In addition, it is planned to invest in two more dryers of NIGOS, as well as in some other projects.

Mirjana Ničević spoke about the certification of the production process and marketing plans:

– My brother has already noted that since last year we have FSC certificate, which is extremely important for the export of products to the European market. This means that the standard of production of all our products is automatically raised, but also the interest of customers. There is a growing interest in foreign customers. Some new ones have contacted us themselves, and the big houses we have worked with so far now have an even better opinion of us. About 60% of our revenue comes from exports.as far as marketing is concerned, we are constantly working in this field as well, because in the public needs to be present in different ways. It’s a very well known concept, so we’ve just created a new website. Our goal is to follow trends in electronic forms of communication. As a liquid company that fulfills its obligations on time, we are a desirable comintent to all banks, but for our business it is important to point out that we have excellent cooperation with ProCredit Bank.after all, we try to cooperate with all our business partners and the environment in general as much as possible – says Mirjana at the end of our conversation.

Obviously, by building his own company, Slobodan Ničević managed to build his successors as well. His son Nenad has been here for a long time and has mastered all the secrets of this business, and at the beginning of last year he became the director of the company. Daughter Mirjana joined the family company immediately after completing her studies. Created on the family tradition and leaning on the family structure, such companies have a solid basis for development and success, but in work and mutual communication there must always be a level of tolerance, trust, mutual understanding, respect and respect. It is also important to know who decides what, who does what and is responsible for what odgovara these rules are obviously an integral part of the business of GRAKOM Sn from Belgrade, where work and order rule, but also a kind of simplicity and unconditional spiritual peace. This impression will certainly be borne by every visitor of this company whose foundations were laid and the business path was traced by Slobodan Ničević. There was no doubt that his support and support was in the family. You can clearly see that.
