Cibona Foods Inc.
A reliable and versatile food processing company
Having worked for several large multinational food companies, in Croatia, France and Canada, where I held positions in quality control and product development. Working for these companies gave me the momentum, background, experience and inspiration I needed to start my own company; After several years in the agro-food field I saw a gap in the market for olives and maraschino cherries, and Cibona was born out of my kitchen at home.
Like many other entrepreneurs, I was driven by a desire to succeed, and had a passion for what I was working towards. Having developed my skills in the agro-food industry, it has helped me lay the foundation for Cibona today. The entrepreneurial spirit is also shared by my wife, who has stood by me during the early years of Cibona and continues to be a pillar of support, alongside my children. I have built a solid company which fosters a family environment, with strong, qualified, and loyal employees.
Throughout the years Cibona's employees and I have built a stable and specialized company, whereby we import, manufacture and export transformed products for everyone to enjoy. At Cibona we produce a wide range of high quality products such as maraschino cherries, gherkins, capers, marinades, small onions and olives presented in various types of containers and packages. We have recently enriched our product line by adding mayonnaise, salad dressings and sauces.
We are dedicated to excellence and growth. Cibona is committed to providing quality products at competitive prices, in addition to exceptional customer service that tailors to the unique demands of our clients. We are committed in working towards building strong relationships with our suppliers, in order to have a positive and lasting impact on the environment, economy, and social well-being of everyone connected with the Cibona brand.
