Mlinar Bakery Announces €12m Investment to Double Production Capacity in Osijek
Croatian baked goods producer Mlinar is investing €12 million ($13.7 million) into its Osijek plant, aiming to double production capacity by adding a fully automated line that will match the output of existing lines combined. The expansion project was disclosed in a statement from Bosqar Invest, which acquired a majority stake in Mlinar last year for €100 million. The investment is intended to improve efficiency and supply chain flexibility while supporting growth both domestically and internationally. Mladen Veber, president of the management board at Mlinar, noted that demand has been steadily increasing. The Osijek plant has already added over 230 jobs since 2021/2022. This follows a €50 million equity investment from EBRD in December aimed at expansion. The company reported revenue of more than €197.2 million in 2025 and operates five production facilities as well as bakery retail locations across the Balkans.
