The Kolpa Solutions programme as a strategic partner offers businesses, industry and tourism companies the design, planning and engineering of turnkey engineering projects – from complete solutions of interior and exterior design to designing innovative facades made of the Kerrock material. The vision of the company is to remain the leading manufacturer of bathroom equipment in the Slovenian market and in the countries of South-East Europe, and to seal its presence and visibility in all European Union markets through its brands. Focused on continuous development, innovations and new products, we want to become a complete provider of interior design equipment for various facilities, while maintaining our commitment to corporate social responsibility.

The proof of this is the acquisition of the ISO 14001 environmental standard.
Through sponsorships and donations, we are involved in the life of the region, seeking to improve its quality. We are aware that with a positive attitude towards people and the environment, Kolpa will continue to establish its reputation with success, both at home and abroad.
