The new facility spans over 3,000 square meters, serving five out of the total nine countries Vivre is present in: Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovenia and Croatia. It is enabled with technological equipments and flow sheets designed to suit the processing of both small (decorations, accesories) and large items, Focusing on technology makes it possible to implement and optimize a supply chain of over 1,000 suppliers and up to 500,000 unique clients.  

The new facility required an initial investment of approximately one million euros in equipment, infrastructure and wares. About 50 employees ensure the orders' management, quality control and delivery. The supply chain in Slovakia plays a pivotal role in Vivre's European engagement, integrating suppliers and start-to-end services. Further investments are planned the following years to support the increase in processed volumes.

"The opening of a new facility in Slovakia, at the heart of the region, followed naturally the brand's geographical expansion in CEE. As our most recent investment, it will shorten delivery periods and enhance transportation safety, both key components of the Vivre experience. The Senec regional center now manages all orders in the region, helping us truly partner with our clients. In the forthcoming period, we will put more effort and invest more for the tens of thousands of products to reach them faster," stated Monica Cadogan, CEO Vivre.
