Gros-Komerc from Skopje is synonymous for success in trading with home appliances and production of vacuum cleaners. During its seven-year existence, the company has successfully coped with all the rushes of modern and competitive trading with home appliances, acoustic devices, washing machines etc. The commercial activity is performed in the company's four retail stores two of which are private-owned. With the commercial facilities arranged in such a way the company emerges as a supplier of 60 percent of the Macedonian market. Gros-Komerc has already won a recognisable place in the market in the production of vacuum sweepers and their spare parts with the manufacture of plastic spare parts being planned in near future. As for its business ties with major foreign partners, Gros-Komerc has established a very successful cooperation with an Italy's giant in the production of sanitary ware, Societa Tera-Micxe-Pregiate in Padua, whose products are sold in the Gros-Komerc's retail stores. The company has also developed close business ties with Slovenia's LIF in Postojna and Sloboda Tara, a factory for production of household appliances in Bajina Basta, FR Yugoslavia, offering their products in the Macedonian market. In terms of export, the company has ensured sale of its own products, vacuum cleaners and their spare parts in FR Yugoslavia. Mr. Zvezdan Baevski and Mr. Zoran Petrovski are the owners of the company which currently employs about 20 people. Says Mr. Petrovski: "Nowadays, one needs courage, knowledge and good luck to successfully runs a business." He recalls their beginnings in 1992 when they started the business with scant of money. But "we worked diligently in the past years and had luck to start cooperation with a few large companies that has been cherished for years." In order to launch their own production, they had to be low-cost-minded and to use the money properly. In this way Gros-Komerc has managed to take an important place under the Macedonia's business skies.
