Founded in December 2000 as a successor to Dicentra d.o.o.

The company maintains long-tenured partnerships averaging more than a decade with key principals (e.g., 12 years with Teekanne, which awarded Filir the Golden Leaf Distributor of the Year 2024/25) and is privately held under Croatian d.o.o. (limited liability) structure with no disclosed external investors.

Broad incumbents

• Ledo: Croatian frozen food and ice cream company within Fortenova Group with nationwide distribution infrastructure. Comparable overlap in cold-chain and ambient retail distribution within Croatia.
• Atlantic Grupa: Major Croatian FMCG company with both owned brands and a distribution arm (including Droga Kolinska). Operates a much broader portfolio but competes for the same multinational distribution mandates and retail shelf space in Croatia.
• Coca-Cola HBC Croatia: Bottler and distributor of Coca-Cola products in Croatia with extensive DSD and retail coverage. Comparable non-alcoholic beverage distribution footprint and retail customer base within Croatia.
