Fluidmaster Open New Facility in Prestranek

On Friday, October 24, 2025, Fluidmaster officially opened its new production and business site in Prestranek – a space that brings together innovation, sustainability, and European expertise with the company’s global reach. This milestone represents more than just an expansion of production; it symbolizes a shared vision, hard work, and a commitment to the future.

 

A New Home, A New Energy

With a ceremonial event, Fluidmaster opened the doors to its new production and office facility in Prestranek, in the Municipality of Postojna, Slovenia.
The event marked an important step in the company’s journey, connecting innovation, sustainability, and dynamic growth within Slovenia and across Europe.
We are proud to have created a space where knowledge, technology, and community come together – and where a new chapter of the Fluidmaster story begins.

 

A Step Forward For Fluidmaster

The new factory represents a major milestone for Fluidmaster in Europe. It increases production capacity, strengthens partner trust, and opens new opportunities for innovation.

Managing Director Aleksandar Bogunovich emphasized:

“What was once a vision has now become reality. This new factory is not just a building – it’s a symbol of our determination, hard work, and dedication. It’s proof of what we can achieve when we act as one team.”

He added:

“This decision is more than an investment – it’s a recognition of our expertise, our culture, and our community.”

 

A Modern and Sustainable Facility

The new facility has been designed with people and the environment in mind. It brings together key production activities under one roof and integrates numerous sustainable solutions – including waste heat recovery, rainwater collection, and electric vehicle charging stations.

It is a place where technology, innovation, and sustainability coexist – where European craftsmanship meets Fluidmaster’s global vision.

 

Company owners Corinne and Robert AndersonSchoepe expressed heartfelt pride and gratitude for this milestone.

Corinne AndersonSchoepe shared:

“What we see before us today was once just an idea – now it’s reality. This factory proves what we can accomplish together. It unites technology, expertise, and heart – everything that Fluidmaster stands for.”

Robert AndersonSchoepe added:

“Welcome to your new home. This project is the result of incredible team dedication and marks the next step in our shared journey – of growth, innovation, and excellence.”

 

The Spirit of Art and Triumph

Every celebration has its moments where words give way to art.

At the opening ceremony, baritone Jure Počkaj and pianist Ivo Gustinčič performed Puccini’s aria Nessun Dorma – a musical symbol of perseverance, courage, and triumph that has guided us to this day.

A high-energy performance of Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen perfectly captured the spirit of the event – joy, momentum, and the vibrant energy of a new beginning.

 

Community Reflections

Representatives of the local community also joined the celebration.

Igor Marentič, Mayor of the Municipality of Postojna:

“This is an important day – not just for the company, but for the entire municipality. Congratulations on the courage and determination to build right here in the Postojna region. I’m pleased that jobs and development remain at home.”

Robert Smrdelj, Mayor of the Municipality of Pivka:

“When we saw the factory taking shape, we knew it would be a major achievement. We’re glad the company is staying here and creating jobs for the wider community. Sincere congratulations to all employees, management, and the owners.”

 

The Beginning of a New Chapter

After the ribbon-cutting and the energizing Queen performance, guests were invited to tour the new production and office facilities.

The celebration concluded with a pleasant reception, allowing guests to connect, share impressions, and celebrate this important milestone together.

With this project, Fluidmaster reaffirms its strong presence in Slovenia and Europe, laying the foundation for continued growth, innovation, and a sustainable future.

Today stands as proof that the greatest stories are always written by people who believe and create together.
