As part of the module Tool Design and Construction of the Mechanical Engineering study programme, we hosted Ms Bojana Maruška, Director of Human Resources and Legal Affairs at Paloma d.d. Paloma d.d. is the market leader in the field of South-Eastern Europe with almost 150 years of tradition in the production and marketing of tissue paper in Europe. Annual production amounts to 72,000 tonnes of tissue paper, which is processed into toilet paper, paper towels and napkins.
In the introductory part of the guest lecture, recruiter Maja presented the company Paloma d.d., the production and marketing of hygiene products. Ms Maruška then presented the company's infrastructure in more detail; production takes place in 4 factories producing finished products, in Banja Luka (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Sladki Vrh, Harmanec (Slovakia) and Slavošovce (Slovakia), where production is specialised only for decorative products.
The central theme of the guest lecture was the Impulz and Motion project, divided into several phases. In the initial phase, which began in 2019 as an upgrade of production capacity and quality of buildings, phased demolition and replacement of existing facilities took place. As part of the construction, the arrangement of external surfaces and all utility infrastructure was also carried out. In 2021, the second phase "Motion" began with preparations for the installation of a new production line, and in 2023 the installation and full operation of two new processing lines with fully automated and flexible packaging, palletising and dispatch is planned.
With the growing number of new projects (the most current being a 60-million project for the production of finished products in a high-bay warehouse), the company offers many career opportunities for young employees and invites mechanical engineering students to collaborate through practical training.
