From 1 September 2026, POBIS d.o.o. becomes the authorised sales and service partner of Hermes Schleifmittel Ges.m.b.H. for the Slovenian market. With this important business step, Pobis further expands its presence in the regional market, while Slovenian industrial customers will benefit from stronger local commercial, technical and logistics support.
01Almost two decades of successful cooperation
The new partnership continues a long-standing cooperation between the two companies. Pobis has been a trusted Hermes partner for almost 20 years, successfully representing and promoting Hermes products in Croatia and selected markets in South-East Europe.
In its official notice to customers, Hermes particularly highlights Pobis’s technical expertise, professional customer support and extensive experience in applying Hermes abrasive products as important foundations for developing the partnership further.
Pobis has its own production capacity for converting abrasives and a warehouse in Koprivnica, and Slovenia’s proximity allows efficient logistics and delivery, as well as communication and technical support for customers in Slovenian.
02From products to grinding process optimisation
Pobis’s role in the Slovenian market will not be limited to selling products. Depending on their needs and the business relationship, Slovenian customers will receive support that includes quotes, product recommendations and application advice, samples and product testing, technical service and troubleshooting, order and delivery coordination, and the development and optimisation of grinding processes.
This approach is in line with Pobis’s strategic focus on being a partner to industry that, in addition to high-quality abrasive and polishing materials, provides customers with expert, practical solutions tailored to their production processes.
03A new step in POBIS’s development in the regional market
The status of authorised Hermes sales and service partner for Slovenia is an important step in the further development of POBIS’s international business and a confirmation of the knowledge, experience and trust built over almost two decades of cooperation.
With this partnership, POBIS strengthens its presence in the Slovenian market, aiming to provide high-quality local support to industrial customers and to build long-term partnerships.
