ŽARKO HORVAT

LINE LEADER, SOLID DOSAGE PACKAGING

Since joining Belupo in 2003, I have been working in the Solid Dosage Packaging Department. I spent most of my time as a machine operator, while for the past five years I have held the position of Line Leader.

The Packaging Department is a fairly large team that continues to grow, yet we all maintain excellent working relationships. Through teamwork, we successfully carry out our tasks with quality and responsibility, which is especially important because we are the final link before a medicine reaches the market. Any mistake at this stage can represent a potential risk to patients.

Over my 22 years at Belupo, I have come to see it as a stable company that continues to develop and invest—not only in its own growth but also in its employees. This is why I can see myself here for many years to come.

The benefits Belupo offers, such as supplementary health insurance and organized transportation to work, are additional advantages.
