Today, Koestlin is the leader in the export of biscuits and related products, wafers, in the region of ex-Yugoslavia and other countries, while in Croatia it holds the No. 1 position in the sales of biscuits and the No. 2 position in the sales of wafers.

In Croatia, Koestlin is cooperating with all major renowned companies and has been demonstrating a continuous growth. Following the trends in the European market and in cooperation with certain trade partners, Koestlin has begun manufacturing products under another company’s brand (private label).

By enriching its tradition with new ideas while simultaneously developing modern technology, Koestlin today boasts over forty different products in about eighty different forms of packaging.

Koestlin has also been awarded many quality awards, of which particularly noteworthy are those for its leading products – KARAT and CAPPUCCINO – which have won gold medals for consistent high quality, and SPECULAAS, the first product from the flour-based confectionery range in Croatia to win the Champion of Quality Medal.

It is worth mentioning that Koestlin is the only manufacturer in the confectionery industry that has won the Champion of Quality award for two consecutive years.

More than 30 years old recipes, record sales

We should also point out the Paris group of products as they have been made according to original and unique Koestlin recipes for over thirty years. The leader among our products are Piknik biscuits with a forty years old tradition, whose new packaging design has been attracting a growing number of consumers and breaking sales records.

During the past few years we have installed four new lines of production technology: one for sandwich biscuits (by the Austrian manufacturer Hecron-Haas), two Werner & Pfleider lines for the production of salted sticks and pretzels and the Schaf line for the production of extruded products –flips. Koestlin has also installed 15 automatic lines for products packaging, horizontal and vertical flow-pack packaging machines, enabling the factory to bring its packaging standards in line with the level of quality of the most famous international brands.
