Atlantic Grupa is steering through challenging waters with a surge in raw material prices.
The company has forecast an eye-watering €90 million increase in the cost of raw coffee and a €7 million hike for cocoa in 2025, a direct consequence of global supply pressures.
Yet, the Croatian powerhouse is undeterred, continuing its robust investment strategy with over €55 million allocated to capital projects this year alone.
Central to its expansion is a major upgrade in Serbia.
New production lines for Smoki snacks and a reconfigured coffee facility in Šimanovci are set to bolster output.
As the company navigates these price hikes and geopolitical uncertainties, it is also pushing forward with a digital transformation and product diversification.
Despite a 15.2% drop in net profit for 2024, Atlantic Grupa’s revenue rose by 10.8%, driven largely by its coffee division, which remains its largest source of income.
CEO projections remain cautious but optimistic, with plans for continued growth through selective investments and operational excellence.
