Manufacturing is a business of long investment cycles, thin margins and ever more demanding customers. For more than 30 years RSM Croatia has worked with manufacturing companies across Croatia, from family-owned plants to exporters that belong to international groups. We help you know exactly what each product costs, fund investment wisely and grow with confidence at home and abroad.
Challenges facing manufacturing in Croatia
Rising energy, material and labour costs squeeze margins, while investment in equipment and automation is no longer optional. At the same time, European customers ask for emissions and sustainability data, and owners of family businesses increasingly think about succession or bringing in an investor.
- Unit costs – accurate cost tracking by product, line and plant.
- Funding investment – equipment, digitalisation and automation without straining liquidity.
- Exports and group trading – related companies abroad and transfer pricing.
- Emissions data – carbon footprint and ESG data requested by customers and banks.
- Succession – the ownership structure and future of a family business.

Frequently asked questions
Manufacturers most often use support for investment in equipment and technology, energy efficiency, research and development, and digitalisation. Availability depends on open calls, company size and the location of the investment, so we first check whether your project is eligible.
Without an accurate cost per unit it is hard to set prices, spot unprofitable products or negotiate with customers. Cost accounting shows where margin is made and where it is lost.
Start by collecting data on energy use, emissions and suppliers and turning it into a report customers can rely on. On that basis we build an ESG strategy with realistic targets.
