From Then
to Now
1995–2000
The company was founded and began production, followed by brand development and the expansion of production to the town of Komenda, alongside the establishment of its first partnerships and the entry of its first external financial partner.
2001–2005
After consolidating its position in Slovenia, the company entered the Croatian market in 2001. In 2004, key partners and professionals in finance and business development joined as shareholders, completing the company’s transition from the Seed stage to the Expansion stage and marking the beginning of its global presence.
During this period, the company also entered the Czech Republic and Montenegro, consolidated ownership, and acquired a regional beverage company with roots in the 1950s.
2006–2010
Further expansion followed into Bulgaria, Russia, Serbia, and Spain, with growth built through partnerships with local entrepreneurs. The company first expanded in Slovenia with food and coffee distribution and later brought this model to other markets.
2011–2015
The company rebranded as Nektar Natura, aiming for global growth but keeping the Slovenian spelling “Nektar” to honor its origins. The company moved to Kamnik, under a natural alpine spring, where it also opened a modern production facility. Expansion followed into Greece, Austria, and Turkey. During this period, the company launched many award-winning beverages and innovative dispensers, including the Red Dot–recognized Stand dispenser, highlighting its commitment to customer-focused innovation.
2016–2020
The company opened its second production facility in Bosnia and Herzegovina, expanded across Europe to markets such as Germany, Hungary, Portugal, Romania, Italy, France, Switzerland, and Poland, extended further to the United Arab Emirates and the Maldives, built strategic partnerships with leading hotel and hospitality chains, and entered the global cruise tourism market.
2021–2025
Nektar Natura expanded into Estonia and the UK and grew into a major export-and development-oriented business. It underwent a digital transformation with ESG-driven technology and launched the IQ Tap™ device. During this period, the company also filed its first patent in quality control.
