The visit began with an opening speech by Jernej Tovšak, who presented the company, its history, and its position within the SHP Group. We learned that Paloma is part of the SHP Group, one of the leading manufacturers of hygienic paper products in Central and Eastern Europe, with products present in 46 countries and a strong focus on the Central and Eastern European and DACH markets. The presentation also highlighted the company’s investment projects, advanced production technology, sustainability standards, and private label production.

Following the presentation, students had the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session, where they asked a variety of questions related to the company’s operations, investments, production processes, market challenges, and future development plans.

The visit continued with a company tour. During the tour, we were introduced to the production process of hygienic paper products and gained a deeper understanding of the technological and operational challenges the company faces in everyday business.

We would like to sincerely thank Jernej Tovšak, Barbara Petovar, Jure Pepevnik, Andreja Novak, Staš Mencigar, and the entire team at Paloma d.o.o. for their warm welcome, hospitality, and the valuable experience.
