History
What leads us to life's turning points?
Thoughtful planning, passionate work, and unwavering persistence.
1967
Alojz and Marta Škrlj established a private workshop where they produced hay blowers, animal feed mills, and various sheet metal products. Škrlj hay blowers quickly found their place on the Italian market.
1985
First stainless steel wine tanks
In 1985, the Škrlj family needed to modernize the wine tanks in their own cellar. At the time, replacing wooden tanks with ones made of stainless steel was almost revolutionary in their local community. This bold decision proved wise, as they soon successfully launched a serial production of stainless steel tanks, which quickly replaced other materials. In a few years, stainless steel products completely surpassed other types of products, which led to more employees and an expansion of their production.
1988
Prototype of the pneumatic wine press
A new milestone came in 1988 with the creation of Škrlj's first pneumatic wine press prototype, which contributed to a seemingly unstoppable technological development. It was only a matter of time before the little workshop evolved into a company with success both at home and abroad.
1991
