Who we are?

A word from the director

For Birografika BORI, as well as for the other Slovene companies, membership into the European Union has been that turning point where we all evaluate whether we are adequately qualified to meet our competition on the free European market. The employees of Birografika Bori are well acquainted with this type of environment and in the nineties we started a planned adjustment of our company in order to change its market role. During this time, we kept in mind our vision of how best to offer customer support for our products and services so as to best meet their needs and requirements.

Crucial are investments in technology which digitalise processing processes at our company, as well as additional investment into the education of all our employees. In this way, we can offer our loyal and potential customers up-to-date business communication means through the internet which save time and support faster and superior admission of business decisions. Through this we can inform our customers of new technology and services which are adapted to the special requirements of each customer.

Our twenty-three year history shows that the status of a company employing the disabled is no obstacle for efficient and successful operations or market competitiveness to the satisfaction of our customers and all our employees.

Electronic media at the beginning of the millennium has broken through in wide use and practically into all spheres of human activity, but nevertheless, it hasn't diminished the importance of paper media. Thus, we are optimistically looking at the program basis of Birografika BORI and with regard to this, continue to set up our ambitious developmental goals.

A short presentation of the company

Soon after, we introduced offset copying, offering our customers various types of print, brochures and bindings. The riskiest was the introduction of colour digital printing as at the time it was the first such novelty on the Slovene market and it took time for customers to realise the advantages of such graphics services.

Our business identity thus developed into an innovative graphics company, but at the same time a company employing disabled people in which professional and marketing criteria are carried out by young people with fresh ideas where our muscular dystrophy (muscle disease) and our other disabled employees are equals.

Today we are a middle-sized efficient company (about twenty employees) with up-to-date technology with a perspective program of processing and services in the field of graphics activities. Our main programs comprise copying, design, preparation for printing, offset printing, digital printing and book creation which enable us to preserve our competitive advantage and continue to increase our market share.

Company growth

The creation and growth of our company is a typical story of success built up by a handful of ambitious people. In spring of the year 1977, the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Slovenia began to experiment with copying and offset duplication. In only four years, a creative idea blossomed into the creation of an independent company.

Our beginning may have been modest, but the growth and success of our company wasn't coincidental: all human resources and material development of the company had to be planned in detail and carefully harmonised with market needs which we simultaneously responded to.

As companies employing disabled people have implemented professional rehabilitation and employment of the disabled, the following graph shows the figures of employed disabled people throughout the years.
