MP METALOPLAST started its operation with button production. When the textile industry was in its heyday, button were the main product. Later on they invested into production and managed to diversify and expand their product portfolio to household and industrial objects. Products such as hangers, curtain paraphernalia, furniture handles, packaging products, cap visors, clasps are worth pointing out. Aside from production, the craft spraying services, printing on textile, plastic and metal and they also offer souvenirs and promotional materials.
MP METALOPLAST workshop contains four machines with different grammages. They can be used to make a wide range of products. When it comes to the products, the single most important thing is that they have a consistent grammage. The raw material itself is mostly imported from the EU.

MP METALOPLAST has immediate plans which include increasing their export share and familiarising students with crafts and trades. Craftsmen use fairs as opportunities to shed light on crafts and trades and attract potential craftsmen who could keep these professions alive. Zlatko hopes that the market will become more encouraging and that Croatian products will restore the prestige and interest they once enjoyed. According to Zlatko, reducing paperwork and red tape and better legislation would greatly benefit crafts and trades.
“The smell of production still keeps me going. My blood starts running when a machine starts. Everything hinges on manufacturing. It would be great if there were more of it. MP METALOPLAST’s competitive advantages include quality, prices, delivery deadlines and tradition”, Zlatko points out.
