History
Sewing is creativity and precision in one
Few skills combine creative expression and practicality the way sewing does. Since the beginning we have worked to meet world standards and the needs of a large number of satisfied customers.
From a small workshop, the company has grown into a group of production plants in Pale, Rogatica and Nevesinje. The scale of our work has multiplied, but we have kept our attention to detail and our commitment to customers.
Today we make clothing for world-famous brands such as Greiff, Kübler and uvex, and we also produce to our own patterns.
Values
What we build on
Three things took us from a single workshop to industrial production, and we keep building on them.
Our values
A life in textiles
Mraz began as a family business, and after all these years it still sees its employees as members of the family.
Our mission
The highest level of quality
We aim to exceed our customers’ expectations through skilled people, modern factories and new technology, with quality at an affordable and competitive price.
Our strength
Professional people
Our greatest strength is the culture of excellence we have nurtured since the start. What sets us apart is the dedication and professionalism of our people.
Factories
Our factories, one system
Our own fleet links the factories and the central warehouse every day. Employee numbers are as of the end of 2022.
Pale is home to our head office and the central warehouse, built at the end of 2022. Together with the existing stores it provides 1,500 m² of warehouse space with pallet racking.
Fabric and finished goods are booked in, stored and dispatched through software developed specifically for Mraz. We also built a smartphone app for tracking daily output, reporting problems and requesting days off. Management gets a clearer view of production plans, and partners get accurate, timely delivery information.
The building is wholly owned by Mraz. The plant opened in mid-2017, and in September 2022 a modern production hall was added next to it, with machinery that meets the highest quality standards.
The workspace has modern lighting, generous ceiling height and climate control to keep the temperature right. Most of the team have been with Mraz from the start, and their experience shows in their skill and productivity.
The plant opened in August 2021, when the first 60 employees moved into a renovated building once owned by the textile company Javor Ivanjica. By the end of 2022 it employed 130 people, and the goal is 150, the building’s full capacity.
Most of the team had experience in light garments, especially shirts for the Italian market, and quickly moved on to the medium-weight fabrics used for PPE. Colleagues new to textiles received theoretical and practical training. Investment in the building, equipment, retraining and training reached €1,000,000 by the end of 2022.
