Kimico - Struga

General informations about KIMICO

       Kimico is a privately owned company that manufactures children's, women's and men's cotton and cotton-synthetic knitted fabrics. Its customers are the largest, most demanding, and best retailers in the world with 90% of production going to Europe and the USA.

       The company is located in an industrial area in Struga, the largest city on Ohrid Lake in Southwest Macedonia. It is four kilometres from an international airport serving the Ohrid-Struga area.

       From its beginnings in 1989 as a cut and sew operation with 30 employees, Kimico grew slowly and carefully to some 65 employees in 1994.  The attention to detail, insistence upon quality work, and catering to customer's needs during this period, allowed the company to develop its first formal and aggressive business plan in early 1997. That plan envisioned a much more vertically integrated operation and rapid growth.

       From the performance stand point our goal is to increase the sales and earning at lease for 30% each year followed by higher expansion in the future.

Production capacities

       That plan has been followed and Kimico is now a fully integrated knitted garment manufacturer. KIMICO knits and makes cut and sewn garments from high quality yarns both domestic and imported. It sells and exports knitted fabric to such countries as Croatia and Slovenia, acts as a contract vertical knitwear manufacturer for clients, and designs and markets its own label in all three categories, casual knitted sportswear for man and woman, knitted playwear for children and underwear. 

Its processes include:

      During every step of the way, Kimico insisted upon maintaining the highest ecological and employee-friendly workplace standards.


Employment

      Kimico now employs over 500 people directly and has several thousand contract workers. It is the largest producer of knitted garments in Macedonia and a leader in the entire region.

      This rapid growth has meant that Georgi Miladinov has had to organise and develop a modern and very capable management team.

The last step in our marketing policy is creating new BRAND NAMES like
