Start
Božidar Petković, founder and owner of Peštan, in 1989 founded a trading company Bukulja Promet involved in trade of pipes for water supply and sewerage. He soon realized that the Serbian market has increasing demand for plastic pipes and makes the decision to start production of less demanding pipes made of polyethylene.
Diversification of portfolio
After two years, Peštan begins with the production of PVC pipes and fittings for domestic sewage, while in 1996, started the production of PP-R program. After four years of delays in investment in 2000 Peštan began producing corrugated pipes. Then he brings an important strategic decision, which resulted in the opening of a new manufacturing plant, where there is a strong increase in production capacity of all products.
Expansion
At the beginning of the economic crisis in 2008, the management of Peštan makes a decision to change the business strategy and to become export-oriented. That year begins with the project PP-RCT program for North America. Implementation of SAP ERP brings to Peštan improvement of business processes, a logical consequence of the implementation of BI reporting system contributes to more efficient decision making.
