What Trimad Procesna Oprema does

Trimad Procesna Oprema d.o.o. is a Slovenia-based industrial trading and distribution company founded in 1989 by Drago Iljaš and headquartered in Domžale. The company is a specialized B2B distributor and exclusive sales representative for internationally recognized manufacturers of process equipment and sealing technology, including KLINGER (gaskets, valves), ZWICK Armaturen (triple-offset butterfly valves), ANGA (mechanical seals including diamond-coated variants), VULCAN (sliding mechanical seals), ZOOK (rupture discs), ADCA/Valsteam (steam equipment), and Aflex Hose/New Age Industries (flexible hoses and tubing). Trimad resells, integrates, and services valves, pumps, seals, filters, rupture discs, measurement instruments, fittings, and process equipment for industrial customers in pharmaceutical, chemical, petrochemical, energy (power generation, district heating), food and beverage, oil and gas, pulp and paper, water, and heavy industry sectors across Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia.

The business operates on a sales-led go-to-market model: customers engage Trimad directly for technical consultation and project-based quotations rather than via e-commerce, with no public price list. Revenue is generated primarily through resale margin on distributed equipment plus recurring after-sales service revenue from mechanical seal repair and refurbishment, pump refurbishment, valve servicing, and custom gasket cutting. Technical differentiation is achieved through the proprietary products it represents (e.g., ANGA's Adamant® 010 diamond-coated seals, ZWICK's Tri-con triple-offset butterfly valves rated up to 815°C) and through application engineering rather than through proprietary in-house manufacturing.

As of February 13, 2026, Trimad became a 100%-owned subsidiary of KLINGER Holding, integrating a long-standing sales partnership into a fully owned platform for KLINGER's regional expansion across the Adriatic and Western Balkans. The existing management team (Jure Žnidarič as Managing Director, Tjaša Iljaš as Director/CFO) was retained for continuity, while founder Drago Iljaš stepped down from majority ownership.

Revenue model

1. Process Equipment Sales: Trimad generates revenue primarily through the resale of process equipment — valves, pumps, seals, filters, measurement instruments, and fittings — sourced from international brand principals (KLINGER, ZWICK, ANGA, VULCAN, ZOOK, ADCA, and others). Revenue is derived from the margin between wholesale procurement and retail B2B sales to industrial customers. Products are sold across Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia. The company holds exclusive distribution rights for certain brands (e.g., ZOOK rupture discs in Slovenia) and non-exclusive representation for others.
2. Servicing and Repair: Trimad offers after-sales services including mechanical seal repair and refurbishment, pump refurbishment, and valve repair (grinding, seal replacement, testing, reporting). Services are billed separately and provide recurring revenue from existing customer installations. The company also provides custom gasket cutting and modification of mechanical seals based on customer specifications.
