The company FerroČrtalič has been established by Mr. Jože Črtalič in 1964 as a small workshop. In the following years, it has developed into a strong family company, well known in the European and world business. The second generation, Mr. Bojan Črtalič, finished his studies in 1975 and begun with the development and production of the Sand Blasting and Shot Peening equipment, which became the main line of production. A few years later his wife Slavojka joined the company and helped run the family business.
Today the company is successfully managed by the third generation, daughters Mojca Andolšek and Anja Črtalič.
Son Jernej owns his own company BlastTehnik, which works on the field of surface treatment technologies and is closely connected to the company FerroČrtalič.
This is how FerroČrtalič d.o.o. became a typical European family company.
