EY Family Business award winners 2019-20 - Slovenia

The pioneering Lotrič family leads the way in Slovenia’s metrology sector.

We are delighted to celebrate the recipients of the EY Family Business Award of Excellence 2019-20, an honor that recognizes excellence in family businesses. Congratulations to this year’s winners for Slovenia:

Marko Lotrič - CEO, Lotrič Metrology Ltd.

When Marko Lotrič, Director of Slovenia’s leading metrology company, was asked if he would ever slow down, his answer was an emphatic “Never!” It is this determination, coupled with a strong work ethic, that has been the driving force behind the success of Lotrič Metrology Ltd., the company he founded in 1991.

The business, which now includes an active second generation, is internationally renowned for its state-of-the-art measurement products and services for trade, health, safety and the environment. The family members all agree, “We need to adapt to new developments, be in step with the times and invest heavily in development.”

The company has lived up to these aims, cooperating with 16 research institutes and co-founding NELA, the main regional R&D center for the electronics industry. It has also partnered with others during the COVID 19 crisis on developing a new ventilator, as well as testing the efficacy of face masks.

The company's emphasis on building partnerships and sharing knowledge has established it as a regional pioneer in the metrology industry.
