What Oprema does

Oprema Micro Matic d.o.o. is a Croatian manufacturer of professional beverage cooling and dispensing equipment, headquartered in Ludbreg with a second manufacturing site in Trnovec Bartolovečki. The company's portfolio spans draught beer dispensers (PRO EVENT, DRY, ECO series), wine, water, juice, cold coffee, milk dispensers, plus broader food-and-beverage cooling cabinets (QUEEN, KING, KBC, MODULAR, MASTER, KCC series). Over 75% of production is dedicated to beer cooling and dispensing. The company also produces pharmaceutical and medical cold-chain equipment (HIPPOCRATES refrigerator for 0-15°C medication storage and ULTRA ultra-low temperature freezers for -40 to -86°C applications) and industrial thin-walled stainless steel tubes used as components in cooling/heating systems.

Technically, the products rely on advanced temperature control, dynamic air circulation, digitally adjustable thermostats, and ISO 1127-compliant stainless steel tube manufacturing with pressure testing. The company has completed a 24-month EU co-financed 'Digitalization of Production 2022' project and earlier Norway Grants investments in greener machinery, and operates with 100% renewable electricity.

The business model is B2B direct sales to hospitality (HoReCa), breweries, pharmaceutical and laboratory customers, augmented by a partner distribution channel through Micro Matic, Asahi, Carlsberg, Franke, and Julius Meinl. Pricing is quote-based via a B2B partner portal; trade show presence (BRAU Beviale) supports lead generation. The company was acquired by Micro Matic in July 2024 and subsequently merged Bloom Technologies d.o.o. into the entity in March 2025.
