The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has approved a EUR 2.5 million credit to Vitaminka AD Prilep. Vitaminka will use the loan to finance the purchase of production and packaging equipment. The financing will also help the company to implement modern energy efficiency measures. The project will allow Vitaminka to cut operating costs and improve its competitiveness, as well as to increase the production capacity for some of its most popular products. This is the second loan Vitaminka receives from the EBRD since 2007, when it secured a EUR 4 million financing to support its investment programme.
