The remnants of the old “Štore ironworks,” dating from the mid 19th century, have evolved as a series of smaller companies, each successful in their niche field. Their common market is the European and world market. Štore Steel is the most prominent leading company in this industrial zone, now called “Štore II.” Together all the companies are exploiting the advantages of a joint industrial space. Štore Steel is a niche supplier of unique steel grades for the automotive industry. Most of the goods are being delivered using a “just in time” principle coming directly from the manufacturing lines. This model is supported by modern manufacturing techniques, a lean organizational structure, and expert and highly qualified employees.
