The story of Stelem

Stelem d.o.o. was established in 1993, first as a side business dealing with the construction and execution of machines and elements. At the beginning, this was only an additional activity for the founders of the company. In 1995, however, a possibility presented itself when we were able to buy machines and lease business premises from ISKRA KEKO, a struggling company. After the latter went bankrupt, Stelem employed numerous workers of the now defunct company.

After a year dealing with the ISKRA KEKO bankruptcy, we started a new development and investment cycle in 1997/1998 with the purpose of expanding our capacities and developing new products. Larger capacities and new products allowed us to double our sales figures in 2002, which was a good incentive for further investments and development. It also enabled us to transition from manufacturing less complex, low-cost products to creating more demanding products.

In 2005/2006, we acquired the company of a small German competitor which allowed us to extend our business practices to new markets. In 2006, we confirmed our quality system by obtaining a certificate pursuant to the ISO standard. Over the next decade, we mainly focused on developing sensor systems, process automation and laboratories, and improving energy efficiency and the working conditions for our employees. In 2012, we built a solar power plant, allowing us to partially cover our energy needs.

One of the most important milestones was 2016/2017, when we started manufacturing components for premium German cars BMW and Daimler in our automobile segment.

Our story continues with the expansion of our market presence, where we consciously introduce elements of sustainable developments in our product range and in the framework of the modernisation of our process.
