In a fitting program and relaxed atmosphere, the management highlighted the excellent results achieved in 2025 and presented the key plans for the period ahead.

This year’s Laser Ing Christmas reception was held on 5 December 2025 at Ranch Kurilovec, a popular event venue in a green setting near Velika Gorica, known for its rustic-industrial interior and large open spaces for events.

In a pleasant atmosphere, with music and a rich selection of food and drinks, employees gathered to mark the end of another business-intensive yet successful year. This was also the company’s 11th Christmas reception – a tradition that has, over time, become one of the most important gatherings for the Laser Ing team, an opportunity to strengthen relationships outside the production floor and offices and to celebrate their shared work.

Management’s message: a year of growth, efficiency, and reputation

At the beginning of the evening, Leonardo Kaščel, CEO and former Chairman of the Management Board of Laser Ing, addressed the gathered employees. In his brief review of 2025, he pointed out that the company had performed excellently and that results had exceeded plans across most key indicators.

 “These figures are the result of hard work and togetherness, and for that I am sincerely grateful,” said Leonardo Kaščel.

He placed particular emphasis on the 30% increase in efficiency, achieved by relocating and consolidating part of the production capacity from the separate facility in Velika Gorica to the company’s main address, while the production facility in Velika Gorica continues to operate successfully.

The consolidation of production capacities, optimization of internal processes, and improved coordination between teams have brought concrete operational and financial benefits, as well as greater customer satisfaction.

Thanks to long-term investment in people and teamwork, quality, and technology, Laser Ing today holds a leading position in its industry in Croatia and the position of a reliable partner at the level of the European Union.

A growing number of foreign companies are choosing to outsource part of their production to Laser Ing, recognizing its combination of expertise, flexibility, and respect for deadlines. It was also emphasized in the speech that the company’s reputation is at an enviable level – both within the business community and among financial institutions – which further confirms the stability and credibility of its operations.

Leonardo Kaščel stressed that unity, a clear vision, hard work, and the daily effort of all employees are the key reasons behind these results. The consolidation of operations, the growth in efficiency, and the company’s strengthened reputation, as he pointed out, did not happen overnight, but are the result of years of investment and trust in the team.

Announcement of a management change: new Managing Director from 2026

One of the most important moments of the evening was the announcement of a new company management model. Leonardo Kaščel announced that from 1 January 2026, the role of director, alongside him, would also be assumed by Tomislav Sučić, the current CFO of Laser Ing. The previous management model with a chairman and board members is being abolished, and the company will henceforth be managed by two directors and one procurator (Valentin Kaščel).

In his address to the employees, Tomislav Sučić recalled the moment three years ago when he joined Laser Ing as CFO. Since then, through proactivity, new ideas, dedicated work, and close cooperation with the Chairman of the Management Board and the rest of the management team, he has made a significant contribution to the company’s financial consolidation and continued growth. Tomislav is also an example of how Laser Ing recognizes and develops potential within its own team, giving employees the opportunity to advance regardless of their starting position.

In his speech, Tomislav highlighted the key areas where he sees room for further improvement – above all in production, where he aims to further raise the standards of quality, control, workplace safety, and team agility. The goal is for Laser Ing to continue meeting the growing expectations of existing partners, as well as the demands of the most demanding international customers.

“Our goal is to grow, while remaining a company where people enjoy working,” emphasized Tomislav Sučić.

A gathering that strengthens the team

After the official part of the program, the evening continued in a more relaxed tone. Over dinner, music, and informal socializing, employees had the opportunity to get to know one another better outside their everyday work environment, exchange experiences from the production floor, the office, and the field, and celebrate together everything that had been achieved over the past year.

The gathering at Ranch Kurilovec lasted late into the night, in a blend of great atmosphere, music, laughter, and conversation that once again confirmed that the strength of Laser Ing lies in its people.

Togetherness, vision, and integrity as the foundation of the future

This year’s 11th Christmas reception once again showed that Laser Ing is a company that takes business results seriously, while equally valuing interpersonal relationships, loyalty, and togetherness. The change at the top of the management structure is at the same time a confirmation of the direction taken so far and an announcement of a new cycle of development.

With a clear vision, hard work, professionalism, and integrity, Laser Ing continues to build its story – the story of a reliable partner in the metal processing industry, but also of a working environment in which every individual can grow and take pride in what they create together.
