The Exporters Club includes TZV Gredelj, Eurocable Group, Jadran Galenski Laboratorij, Badel 1862, Djuro Djakovic Holding, Podravka, Elektrokontakt, Kras, Kotka, Pliva, Saponia and the postal bank Hrvatska Postanska Banka (HPB).
The first meeting of the executives of these companies focused on the export climate.
AT Kearney agency's consultant, Filip Glavan, presented a new tool for measuring the export climate. He said that a survey had shown that out of nearly 91,000 companies in Croatia, a mere 7.5 per cent were export-oriented, making up more than 10 per cent of earnings from exports.
Those companies earn 31 per cent of the total revenues of all Croatian companies, account for 46 per cent of total net profits and are more profitable, according to Glavan.
The Exporters Club was initiated by Lider business weekly.
