Radenska remains without a Pepsi license, and among employees there is also care for jobs

Radenska will lose its license for producing and distributing Pepsi products by July 1, according to the report by Preiskovalno.si. The company has been collaborating with PepsiCo for several years. Management informed employees of the decision last week, stating production will continue as planned until the end of the year while preparing a new strategy post-collaboration. Employees express uncertainty about potential impacts on jobs, though no official layoffs have been announced yet. Radenska acquired Pepsi, Mirinda, and 7UP rights in Croatia after being taken over by the Kofola group. The

Radenska in Pepsi po več desetletjih zaključujeta sodelovanje, kar predstavlja znaten prehod v poslovnem modelu slovenskega proizvajalca pijač. Od prihodnjega leta ne bo družba Radenska več polnila pijač pod blagovno znamko Pepsi. O odločitvi so obvestili iz podjetja, kjer so poudarili, da s spremembo v partnerskem portfelju dodatno krepijo strateški fokus na razvoj lastnih blagovnih znamk in osrednje poslovne dejavnosti. Sprememba je bila objavljena v okviru sporočila za javnost, kjer so izražali zaupanje v svojo ekipo in močne blagovne znamke, ki so vključevali sodobne proizvodne zmogljivosti in znanje.

Odločitev je bila sprejeta v skladu z cilji skupine Kofola, katera je del Radenske Adriatike. Glavni izvršni direktor Radenske Adriatike Marian Šefčovič je v sporočilu izrazil verigo, da spremembe odpirajo nove priložnosti. V svojih besedah je poudarjal, da je podjetje skozi čas pokazalo prilagodljivost, vztrajnost in uspešno odzivanje na različne izzive. Trenutno se podjetje osredotočuje na lastne blagovne znamke in nadaljnjo krepitev položaja, kar naj bo postavilo trdne temelje za prihodnjo rast. Načrt prehoda, ki ga pripravlja Radenska, bo zagotovil nemoteno prilagoditev novim razmeram, s tem pa bo usmerjen v širitev in pospešeno rast lastnih izdelkov ter drugih licenčnih blagovnih znamk.

Glavni izvršni direktor skupine Kofola Jannis Samaras je pojasnil, da se odločitev z vidika skupine Kofola predstavlja posel z nizko maržo, ki je prispeval le nekaj odstotkov naših prihodkov. To je videti predvsem kot priložnost za nadaljnjo rast naših blagovnih znamk. Vodstvo je zaposlene o končanju sodelovanja s Pepsi obvestilo prejšnji teden. Podrobnosti o organizacijskih ali kadrovskih posledicah izgube licence niso predstavili, zaposleni pa so ocenili, da bo prvi ukrep ta, da ne bodo podaljšali pogodb zaposlenim za določen čas. Med zaposlenimi je prisotna tudi skrb za delovna mesta, kljub temu pa so finančni podatki kazalci, da podjetje ostaja v dobri poslovni kondiciji.

Izguba licence za proizvodnjo in distribucijo pijač Pepsi predstavlja eno največjih sprememb v poslovnem modelu Radenske v zadnjih letih. Družba je po tem, ko jo je prevzela skupina Kofola, pridobila pravice za proizvodnjo in distribucijo pijač Pepsi, Mirinda in 7UP na Hrvaškem. Ta sprememba ima širok vpliv na potrošnike in zaposlene. Zaposleni so ocenili, da bo prvi ukrep, ki ga podjetje izvede, nepodaljšanje pogodb za določen čas, kar lahko pomeni nekakšne posledice za zaposlene. Kljub temu so finančni podatki pokazali, da je podjetje ostalo v stabilni situaciji, kar je omogočilo povečanje števila zaposlenih in doseganje visokih prihodkov. Sprememba v partnerstvu z Pepsi je torej vodil do novega smeri v poslovanju, ki bo vplival na vse aspekte podjetja.
