What Brati Ritoša does

Brati Ritoša d.o.o. is a Croatian privately-held wholesale distributor headquartered in Pazin, Istria, founded in 1994 by the Ritoša family and managed today by Adriano, Adriana, and Edi Ritoša. The company procures and distributes a portfolio of garden tools, agricultural supplies, construction tools, irrigation systems, plant nutrition products, and personal protective equipment, serving agricultural pharmacies, supermarkets, hardware stores, building material outlets, garden centers, and specialized home equipment shops across Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Hungary. Sourcing from more than 20 countries, the company offers over 3,000-4,000 SKUs across 10,000+ pallet positions from a 16,000 m² central warehouse, dispatching 200+ shipments daily with 24-48 hour delivery, and operates a wholly-owned Slovenian subsidiary, Vidral d.o.o. (established 2013 in Koper), covering the Slovenian market.

The product mix combines nine proprietary brands (Br garden, Ri tape, Tick, Terarossa, Fitokol, Leon, Salva, Ratino, Fiammina) with distributed international brands such as Claber and YARA, spanning categories including garden tools, drip and automatic irrigation, plant care and grafting, oenology, fencing, packaging, livestock equipment, hobby/household items, and protective equipment.

The revenue model is wholesale distribution with field sales as the primary go-to-market: qualified commercialists visit retailers daily and capture orders via handheld devices, supplemented by a 24/7 B2B web store (b2b.ritosa.com) for contract partners. No public pricing, no disclosed revenue figures, and no external funding or institutional investment are reported; share capital stands at 37,259,800 HRK and the company remains wholly family-owned with 29 total employees across the two entities.
