A visit by Pavel Vertlib, Deputy Mayor of Krasnodar in Russia, to Podravka.

On 12th October Pavel Vertlib, Deputy Mayor of Krasnodar in Russia, visited Podravka as part of his visit to Croatia. In conversation with the Deputy President of the Management Board, Željko Đurđina, and Tea Grgurić, the Director of the Podravka branch in Moscow, he stated that in Krasnodar and its surrounding area, which has a population of about 5 million, there is a lot of interest in foreign investment. He also invited representatives from Podravka to join the Croatian delegation who will visit Krasnodar, as part of an initiative by the Russian Embassy in Zagreb. Since Podravka’s goal is to increase exports to the Russian Federation, this invitation was readily accepted.

The Mayor of Krasnodar showed great interest when he was shown around the new Vegeta plant, stressing that there is a great demand in his city for this famous food supplement made by Podravka.
