History
In 1953, a dairy plant was built at the farm „Lepušnica“ in Glogonjski Rit (rit means "swampy area") between Belgrade and Pančevo. That was the practical establishment of dairy industry Imlek. Around 800 cows gave daily between three and five thousand liters of milk which was sent to the Belgrade market. In 1957, UNICEF granted a line for pasteurizing and bottling 30.000 liters of milk per day. In 1963, the production already exceeded 21 million liters a year. The company was the largest dairy industry in SFR Yugoslavia.
Imlek's Subotica dairy became the first Serbian manufacturer of fresh milk products to obtain permission to export to the European Union in 2010.[4]
Market data
As of 29 May 2015, Imlek has a market capitalization of 447,000 euros.[5]
