leading European specialist in developing and manufacturing prefabricated bathrooms The company makes up to 4,500 bathrooms each year which over its 40-year history adds up to more than 100,000 EY Slovenia selected it for the EY Family Business Award of Excellence 2022 former Director and current company Authorized Representative and his daughter Sabina Sobočan we’ve been doing what we do since the 1970s I’m now an Authorized Representative of the company and I own a quarter of it I contribute to decisions on capital and strategic investments lead certain projects and sometimes help with specific problems I also cannot avoid meetings with our longstanding business partners where personal connections still mean a lot we heard that you resisted working for the family company for a long time he had to make a difficult decision – who should take the reins of the company I hadn’t been part of the company before that; I’m an economist if you had asked me about this several years ago I would never have seen myself working in the company Perhaps a part of it was that manufacturing and construction are seen as stereotypically “male” sectors But when father asked me if I wanted to take on the challenge I first started working in VARIS as an internal auditor I made this decision in the spirit of the philosophy I still use to manage the company: “impossible” is not in my vocabulary How much importance do you place on relationships Štefan: Leading VARIS means that you often have to work outside normal working hours When work is over and at weekends it is hard to switch off and resume your personal life But any strategic and in-depth decisions are made officially Sabina: Good interpersonal relationships at work are very important but it can be challenging to maintain them especially when your family is part of the company It is important to constantly work on these relationships It is also challenging to balance family life and business who is also part of the VARIS leadership team We remain professional and don’t bring personal challenges to work it is also important to remember that you can never please everyone no matter how hard you work on improving relationships There are many challenges involved in leading VARIS It is said that when the number of employees doubles VARIS was also recognized by the Slovenian Gazela awards for fast-growing companies and our rapid expansion means that we must work I must point out that generational transfer of leadership probably counts as one of the more difficult changes in the lifecycle of any family business The challenge is not only successfully completing the process but also the transformation of leadership it brings I steered the company towards a modern approach to inclusive leadership and empowerment of the leadership team All important decisions are made collectively and part of the leadership team which maintains the company’s organizational affairs Our revenue in 2021 reached a new milestone of EUR 33 million The motto of your company is “quality above everything” ambassadors for the SPIRIT Slovenia Business Development Agency How do you combine quality with sustainability Sabina: One of our key strategic goals is quality assurance at all levels of the company Commitment to quality is part of everything that we do and one of our five corporate values is responsibility Our business strategy and annual business plans are based on environmental and social responsibility our sustainability has three pillars: care for the environment which means we must also pay attention to financial indicators We put a lot of company time and effort into sustainability in all areas constant reduction of energy use and emissions powering all our manufacturing processes with electricity from our own solar plant We manufacture ready-made bathrooms with materials and equipment that meet the highest standards of sustainable manufacturing We are also in the process of digital transformation we plan to digitalize and connect all our manufacturing processes Between 70% and 90% of your revenues come from foreign markets one of our largest investments has been the construction of a new Last year we also bought space to store our semi-finished products renovated old spaces and locker-rooms and built a cafeteria for the employees We have and will put a lot of energy into building our organizational culture and internal communications our current main goal is digitalization of business processes and preparation of the VARIS 2030 strategy VARIS has become a synonym for ready-made bathrooms of the highest quality Considering that every ready-made bathroom we produce is unique and that digitalization is becoming an important part of technology and development we are also becoming a developer of technological solutions for investors and customers This means that our customers do not buy only a ready-made bathroom made to their specifications but the entire service from planning to construction we invest 5% to 8 % of our revenue into research and development (R&D) whose main goal in the next two years is to implement innovative and sustainable solutions and create new trends in the field of prefabricated bathrooms One of our strategic goals is quality assurance at all levels of the company – quality above everything You have made 100,000 prefabricated bathrooms How much will this number grow in the next 20 years Sabina: We are currently developing our VARIS 2030 strategy It will define our medium-term goals and vision Our focus is not on an extreme rise in productivity but on innovative products of an even higher quality Our products will be even more sustainable more environmentally friendly and we will focus on environmentally friendly materials and technologies A ready-made VARIS bathroom will be a smart bathroom meaning that every process and parameter within it will be controlled from one point Every ready-made bathroom will have its own “materials passport” which will detail its carbon footprint and its adherence to various standards of sustainability It’s difficult to talk about the number of ready-made bathrooms in the next 20 years VARIS will have manufacturing facilities around the world because we want shorter transport chains and we are capable of transferring our knowledge and know-how The size and productivity of our manufacturing plants in Slovenia will be impacted by the competitive position of Slovenia within Europe and internationally as we plan to stay focused on foreign markets We will launch additional activities to spread our risk We would like everyone to know that VARIS can meet all their expectations and solve all the challenges of planning We want to grow our trademark until VARIS becomes a synonym for high quality and the future of modular construction Our goal is to have our ready-made bathrooms installed in at least one hotel of every international chain across the globe We want the most prestigious hotel chains and the best and largest constructions companies that build residential buildings hospitals and jails to trust the quality of our bathrooms we will continually grow as a socially responsible and sustainable company we want to maintain and fortify our position as a leading European manufacturer of prefabricated bathrooms and we see the company as a European multinational How do they see the company – as a community Sabina: It’s true that my sons are still in elementary school but they have always been interested in what we do in VARIS The company is part of the family and some of our everyday conversations include business and work but it is still too early to say whether they see themselves working for the company Marko and I will let them decide for themselves what they want to study and do with their lives; this is not something that can be forced I also know from experience that it can be a good thing if you get your first work experience and begin your career outside of the familiar environment of a family company What motivation and responsibility comes with receipt of the EY Family Business Award of Excellence 2022 Sabina: The award we received comes with pride We are proud to be recognized for our excellence so our purpose and responsibility are to keep things that way but also the Slovenian and international economies and societies as a whole We are creating a better world for everyone and building a responsible future results and family culture at VARIS Lendava convinced EY Slovenia to bestow upon them the EY Family Business Award of Excellence 2022 they share their philosophy and their plans for the future of the member firms of Ernst & Young Global Limited « Back Novartis’s soon-to-be independent Sandoz division has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to build a plant in Lendava to support its biosimilar products saw Sandoz pledge at least $400 million into the new plant work on which is expected to begin later this year “The plan is to produce biosimilars at the plant,” Sandoz spokesperson Chris Lewis told this publication with the center supporting both the firm’s current portfolio and future pipeline Further details regarding size and capacity at the facility are being kept under wraps but the increase in production capacity will help Sandoz consolidate its position “among the largest and most stable employers in the municipality of Lendava and in Pomurje.” In Slovenia, Novartis, which currently runs Sandoz but has laid plans to spin-off its generics and biosimilars division Sandoz later this year has mammalian manufacturing capabilities in Menges where clinical and commercial-scale biosimilars are produced and a fill & finish plant in Ljubljana “We have been producing quality pharmaceuticals in Slovenia for nearly 40 years,” said Lewis “Lendava offers us a strong combination of political stability proximity to our existing European-based production and commercial operations The site “also manages operating costs responsibly with good logistical links to nearby Sandoz production and commercial sites,” while Lendava itself is near academic institutions which he said could lead to potential partnership programs Around 300 jobs will be created on the site during the first phase of expansion the firm has won approval for six other

Get curated industry news straight to your inbox. Subscribe to Adweek newsletters This post was created in partnership with Inmar Intelligence The line between content and commerce is disappearing and creators are turning attention into transactions the challenge isn’t whether to work with influencers but how to do it in ways that drive measurable results That conversation took center stage at an ADWEEK House Miami Group Chat Industry leaders discussed the evolving landscape emphasizing the importance of authenticity and data-driven strategies The idea that creators only build awareness is outdated SVP of media and data platforms at Inmar Intelligence “Creators are not just brand amplifiers anymore They are the final point of sale.” That reality requires a smarter approach to creator selection—one that blends art with science Inmar’s Fit Score model supports this by aligning creator content and audiences with first-party retail data to predict who is most likely to drive sales senior director of CPG and head of beverage at Inmar noted that in regulated categories like alcohol an influencer’s location can be just as important as their content you can’t work with someone based in California,” she explained “We need data to align creators not just with brands but with the specific type of sale we’re trying to drive.” creators on the panel emphasized that some of the most meaningful data is personal described launching her own product (a chrome piggy bank shaped like a brain) based on what she knew her community would love I sold 200 brain banks at $160 each,” she shared who previously worked in brand partnerships added that smaller creators often outperform expectations especially those who develop recurring content formats “I always saw strong ROI from influencers who had their own mini shows or series,” she said “Their followers tune in like it’s Netflix finding different ways to incorporate product into their content series is a really good way to track ROI.” has found that incorporating video works for her small business “I film with real customers who match our lifestyle,” she said CMO and strategic advisor at both Urban Stems and NOYZ echoed the shift toward more data-informed Consumers don’t want to see paid ads anymore They want to hear from people who are already obsessed with your product we’re uncovering who they are and bringing them into a more community-led strategy,” she explained “Our approach is bringing them in and letting them be part of the brand and creation of the products “Brands are the original creators,” said Amy Lanzi “If you want creators to authentically represent your brand it starts with knowing what you stand for.”] That clarity enables creators to represent brand values in ways that feel organic across channels—from press-on nails to in-store activations shared how her team redefined their organic performance benchmarks “We shifted our whole organic metric system to focus on total views and average views per post,” she said “It’s not about your follower base anymore: 95% of content views come from non-followers.” This reflects a broader truth: Content is judged by how far it travels As platforms prioritize what’s relevant over what’s popular brands and creators alike are learning to optimize for quality “All you need is one piece of content,” said artist and sculptor Shawn Kolodny a video of him inflating balloons hit 40 million views That led from 50 to 1,000 inbound messages a day the right content shouldn’t stay in one channel “If you create one piece of content that creates the right kind of trust or impact that shouldn’t be contained to one platform Take that content and amplify it across that entire purchase journey,” she said pointed to how quickly inspiration now leads to conversion and how creators can accelerate the path to purchase “The conversion window has gone from 30-day lookback to within minutes,” she said “You need the upfront data to be really specific and precise with the who and the how.” She cited a campaign where one teaser post from Paris Hilton led to Frank’s Red Hot selling out nationally before the Super Bowl “It didn’t take days or weeks—just the right creator with the right message Brands are looking to influencer partners to lead them directly to that conversion As Gen Z and Gen Alpha reshape what influence looks like brand founders and frontline voices are becoming key content creators “When the associates actually become the mouthpiece for the brand—it’s incredible.” McNamara’s takeaway hit the core of the conversation: “You can’t buy relevance anymore.” The brands that succeed won’t be the loudest and build with creators who know their audience—and can convert them Adweek is the leading source of news and insight serving the brand marketing ecosystem This website is using a security

prime ministers discussed the state of bilateral relations Both countries hold an intensive dialogue at all levels which resulted in the meeting of both government teams in Celje on 15 September 2021 while also strengthening economic cooperation as Hungary ranks seventh among the Republic of Slovenia's foreign trading partners The talks focused on encouraging the economic and social development of the ethnically mixed areas on both sides of the border the Republic of Slovenia has been carrying out development programmes in the area where the Hungarian national community lives and in 2020 Hungary began to carry out a development programme in the area where the Slovenian national community lives in the Porabje region A development programme will be drafted on the basis of the signed agreement to provide additional funding for the period 2022–2026 that will help address development gaps as well as ensure suitable conditions for the operation of minority media the Government of the Republic of Slovenia highlighted the urgent need to improve the material conditions for the functioning of the Slovenian national minority in the Porabje region Special emphasis was devoted to the younger generations and the provision of opportunities for the preservation of the language and culture of the national minority as well as for business and job opportunities in their home environment Prime Minister Janša first met with the mayor of Lendava After the meeting of the prime ministers with their delegations which also took place at the Lendava Town Hall the signing ceremony and a press conference with both prime ministers took place Slovenia and Hungary signed an agreement on protection and cooperation in the development of the national minorities on both sides of the border This was the first such agreement that Slovenia signed with a neighbouring country and today I am very pleased and happy that we have just signed an agreement that builds on the one from thirty years ago and all the other agreements that have been reached in the meantime with a document that is very concrete and on the basis of which EUR 5 million will be invested in the development of the minorities on both sides of the border through the programmes to be presented which will significantly help the economic and social development of the minorities and their organisations in both the Prekmurje and Porabje regions," said the Prime Minister in his opening remarks He also took this occasion to thank everyone who worked on and coordinated the agreement.  "We agreed to embark on this project at the meeting of both governments in Celje on 15 September 2021 together with the Hungarian Prime Minister and my colleagues from the Government and other colleagues on both sides we have noted that much of what we agreed on in Celje has been implemented and that we have made concrete steps forward including in terms of the connectivity of the energy systems of the two countries and that the overall economic and trade cooperation between the two countries has been strengthened in the meantime," added the Prime Minister "The increase in trade between Slovenia and Hungary in the last year which shows that businesses on both sides of the border have discovered potentials that hitherto had not been exploited," said the Prime Minister adding that these potentials are even much greater and that we would be very happy to build on and exploit them in the future "Hungary ranks seventh among Slovenia's trading partners it is a neighbouring country that is developing rapidly it is a winner in the recovery from the pandemic," said Prime Minister Janša congratulating the Hungarian Prime Minister on economic growth of more than 7% last year on the strengthening of Hungary's economic position and on the remarkable success of the country in mitigating the consequences of the epidemic we can strengthen our economic and other cooperation in the future so that Hungary is not only Slovenia's seventh most prominent foreign trade partner but because it is a neighbouring country and because economic ties between neighbours in particular are doubly beneficial so that we can move forward with the joint efforts that we will put into this cooperation," said Prime Minister Janša "I am extremely pleased to sign this agreement on cooperation in education training and culture," said the Slovenian Prime Minister the two countries on both sides represent a very important bridge for this cooperation and will continue to build on this basis "We also discussed mutual support when it comes to the international role of both countries specifically the candidacies for the presidency of the UN General Assembly and Slovenia's candidacy for a non-permanent seat on the Security Council as well as the challenges posed by a much more unstable environment in Europe and the eastern neighbourhood when we last discussed this situation," said the Prime Minister "We hope that there will be no further escalation of the conflict in Ukraine and on its borders because in the end this will not be good for anyone and we will all suffer not only those directly involved in the conflict We both belong to this region and indeed our common wish is that there be no escalation and that a peaceful solution be found; we call on all those who can contribute thereto in any manner to do so," stressed the Prime Minister He concluded that elections would be held in both countries in April we must not forget the issues that go beyond the day-to-day political affairs cultural and other cooperation between the two neighbouring friendly countries is something that goes beyond the pre-election period and will continue regardless of the results of this pre-election period," underlined the Prime Minister Prime Minister Janša thanked the Hungarian Prime Minister for the excellent cooperation during the last year when Slovenia held the Presidency of the Council of the EU and Hungary headed the Visegrad Group "One of the first visits when Hungary took over the presidency was to Slovenia and I am thankful for the many topics we effectively coordinated and the many dossiers we closed," said the Prime Minister in thanking the Hungarian Deputy Ferenc Horvath who was the mastermind behind today's agreement and the creation of the fund.  "We are also in the process of reaching an agreement on a similar approach and the establishment of a similar fund with the Italian Government when it comes to assistance provided to nationalities or minorities in both countries so what we have done today is also good practice for others," concluded the Prime Minister The Hungarian Prime Minister Orban pointed out the good and friendly cooperation between the two countries at the press conference saying that sincere friendship and cooperation will continue to bring us together He also spoke about some other current issues including developments on the Ukrainian-Russian border and economic restructuring to the detriment of the West and to the benefit of the East "These will all be major challenges and together we will find answers more easily than if each country looks for answers on its own" said the Hungarian Prime Minister.  Prime Minister Orban also highlighted the role of the Slovenian Prime Minister during the independence process adding that strategic issues were always present in their joint talks The prime ministers continued by answering questions from the press "I think we see the problem in a similar way and if I recall the European Council discussions in addition to the increase in energy prices one of the reasons is that we are trying to move too fast in some steps we are taking with respect to the green transition and this is where the European Union will have to strike the right balance and in the decisions to be made in the future – some of which have already been taken – to ensure that the green transition does not cause or deepen energy poverty and that everything does not fall through again as has already happened once," said the Prime Minister in response to a question from a Hungarian journalist about developments on the energy markets He recalled that when Slovenia first held the Presidency of the EU Council and then the European Council in 2008 the green transition was a priority and high on the European agenda but the economic and financial crisis struck and for five years it was no longer on any agenda "I am glad that there is now more sound judgement in this approach The first very important decision in this respect is the European Commission's taxonomy delegated act where natural gas and nuclear energy are included in the green transition as part of the solution because it is absolutely clear that without nuclear energy the climate goals that have been set cannot be achieved," the Slovenian Prime Minister stressed "There are a number of concrete steps Slovenia is taking to reduce energy poverty the Slovenian National Assembly is holding a session where a law is being discussed that will significantly relieve the burden on consumers of electricity and other energy sources either through subsidies for the most vulnerable consumers or by reducing certain charges such as network charges so that bills will not be as high as they would be otherwise threatening people's standard of living and deepening energy poverty," added the Prime Minister.  Asked about the situation at the Lendava spa and whether the state should exercise its pre-emption right and become a strategic owner in Sava the Prime Minister said that the Lendava spa was not discussed today.  "This tourist facility was sold during the previous term of office who probably did not speak about this with the Hungarian Government either then or now." "As regards exercising the pre-emption right to buy with regard to the sale of a minority stake in Sava Hotels where a foreign fund is selling this stake to another fund a correspondence meeting of the Government is currently taking place on the basis of a proposal to recapitalise SDH in an amount enabling SDH to exercise the pre-emption right I think that in the evening there will also be a meeting of the Supervisory Board of KAD because this is one of the entities that also has the right to exercise the pre-emption right and I hope that a similar decision will be taken there," said the Prime Minister noting that in addition to the proposal for the recapitalisation the materials for the correspondence session of the Government also contain an obligation for SDH in the event that it consolidates ownership to carry out a forensic investigation of the business operations of these companies "It is not the intention of the state to become the largest hotelier as was also expressed when we concluded the coalition agreement to consolidate and concentrate ownership and then to find a strategic partner who will also invest in these tourist resorts," clarified the Slovenian Prime Minister "This is not a matter of a few tens of millions for a minority share it is a matter of the hundreds of millions that need to be invested to make these tourist facilities serve their purpose with a competitive offer but the final step is to find a strategic owner on the basis of an international tender or a procedure that is in line with Slovenian and European legislation and this owner must not be a financial fund that that acquired the property for speculative purposes but someone who is involved in tourism," said Prime Minister Janša the Prime Minister said that we have been following not only the latest developments but also the developments before that with concern and the latest developments with heightened concern "We spoke about this a lot at the informal EU summit and my first impression is that there is complete unity in Europe that everything must be done to de-escalate the situation any sabre-rattling on the borders with Ukraine does not contribute to this but takes us further away from it," the Prime Minister said.  He underlined that he had said publicly in Brussels that the escalation of the conflict would ultimately have no winners history teaches us that the greatest defeats are victories in the wrong wars or battles," the Prime Minister said given the current level of technological development any escalation of the conflict would not produce a winner "All those who are rattling sabres should be very much aware of this," said the Prime Minister which is already bordering on a hybrid war wherein cyberattacks are taking place which will start spilling out across Ukraine's borders to neighbouring countries and the EU as a whole especially if this situation continues and if there is actual aggression," the Slovenian Prime Minister said "We have various limited possibilities to influence the de-escalation of the situation and we are also in talks about my visit to Ukraine at the end of this week We are also talking to colleagues in other EU Member States about an initiative that might facilitate de-escalation We hope that we will take this initiative to the next step and that we will not be overtaken by this escalation which is taking place according to the classic formula." Asked about the relations between the two countries after the elections the Prime Minister said that as far as relations between the two countries were concerned and this friendship and cooperation is not and will not be tied to the results of the elections especially when it comes to the protection of minorities has recently been much better than it was in the first 20 years Since Viktor Orban has been in charge of the Hungarian Government aid to the Slovenian minority in the Rhineland has increased sixfold which speaks for itself," the Prime Minister said He called to mind that also during the migrant crisis in 2015 the then Slovenian Government was very critical of Hungary for erecting a fence on the border with Serbia but these words had not yet fully dried when Slovenia was also confronted with a wave of migration humbly went to Budapest and requested a wire fence "Hungary helped at the time and Slovenia managed to stem the tide and secure not only the Slovenian border but also the Schengen border," the Prime Minister said adding that we are able to work in cooperation with Hungary "I believe that we will continue to live in an atmosphere of friendship regardless of the political colour of the government on either side but experience has taught us that whatever we agree on with the Hungarian Prime Minister we also deliver," said Prime Minister Janša "We also intend to win in Slovenia and I believe that we will build on all the agreements partially reached today in the next term The two governments will have to work together in the future but it is easier to work together if there are governments on both sides that share similar European values," added the Prime Minister "We are a little worried about the coalition that has opposed the current coalition in the neighbouring country We see some strange examples of nostalgia for both fascism and communism Slovenians have had bad experiences with both and we would like neither to prevail," concluded Prime Minister Janša Did you find the information you were looking for Do you want to receive a response from the responsible institution Clicking on the link will open your default e-mail program and automatically draft a message that you can send to the institution responsible for the content of this website ask for a reply The company expects to invest at least $400 million in the project, which is intended to drive future growth in its global biosimilars portfolio.
