As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, Vinoplod director Kresimir Lokas stated that ”Dalmacijavino’s range of wines, not to mention the rest of the strong alcoholic beverages we previously took over, will be produced in Vinoplod’s facilities in Sibenik, and the yeasts will be produced in Badel’s facilities in Sisak.
With this agreement, Badel 1862 and Vinoplod are set to further strengthen their positions on the demanding wine market, especially when it comes to local Dalmatian varieties such as Debit and Drniski Merlot. By bottling Dalmacijavino’s wine brands, we’ll further increase the level of production in the Sibenik plants, and by using synergies and further investments in the development of an even greater number of wine brands, we’ll get additional opportunities for quality portfolio expansion and sales growth,”
”Just as we’ve already proven to be a successful method with Badel 1862 and Vinoplod, we intend to continue to develop and modernise the Dalmacijavino brand in order to bring it closer to new generations of consumers,” emphasised Lokas.
“Given the long-term cooperation with the company Badel 1862, which bought raw materials from us and then took over the brands of strong alcoholic beverages two years ago, the sale of the Dalmacijavino umbrella brand to Badel was a natural sequence of business events.
The Ostrc company will continue to do business with Badel, and now it will be carried out through the largest consolidated Dalmatian vineyard in Petrovo Polje, from which most of the raw material will be sold to Badel and Vinoplod, which means that Dalmacijavino’s products will continue being made from the same grapes from which it has all been being done for the last seventy years.
The contract on the matter was signed to mutual satisfaction and I believe that Dalmacijavino’s brands will continue to be very well positioned on the market in the future. In addition to a greater focus on the potential of our vineyard, in terms of even greater and higher quality yields, as well as the gastronomic and tourist story that we have been developing over more recent years, in the coming period, we intend to place our focus even more intensively on the business and development of one of the strongest regional beverage brands, Pipi, not to mention on its further expansion,” concluded Luka Diel-Zadro of Pipi beverages.
