I see the greatest value in knowledge and in people

We strongly believe that by developing people, companies grow – both Silco and the companies of our customers and partners alike. Knowledge is invaluable today; the ultimate sale of Silco products and technologies is merely a consequence of this, as Sašo Kronovšek, founder, owner, and director of Silco, shared with us in an exclusive interview.

At Silco, we enjoy working, learning, and growing together. We earn together and simultaneously help others with our knowledge. We hold personal, business, and professional education in the highest regard. The more we know, the more we can share. The more we share, the more we create. Each year, we allocate close to a hundred thousand euros for educational purposes at various levels. People development is a priority, as knowledge is at the center of our culture. This is where Silco Academy comes into play as an educational institution meant to benefit our employees as well as our business partners.

Sašo, what does Silco aim to provide to employees and partners with an educational institution like SILCO Academy?


»Our mission is to develop people – both our employees and our partners – in order to produce innovative technological solutions for automotive paint repair and to set new standards in auto body painting. Primarily, we offer opportunities for professional development, most of which we channel towards exploration, thereby advancing the auto body painting profession. In our laboratory, our scientists formulate ideas, often inspired by the creative thinking of our team of employees. We emphasize personal development and growth in our employees. We strive for sustainability, in all aspects. Knowledge inherently fosters sustainability. When you invest in yourself, you also contribute to the long-term development of the community.«

What do you see as Silco's greatest value?

»I see the greatest value in knowledge and in people. This year, we stated to imeplement dedicated personal and business development programs for managers. Consequently, these initiatives have already begun to influence the change in organizational culture, strengthening connections, increasing productivity, and fostering the development of all employees. We have also revamped and outlined technological training, educational modules, and demonstrations. Currently, we are finalizing a significant investment in education, quality, and development, totaling 130 thousand euros. This investment is directed towards the construction of a new training center, equipped with a demonstration area and a lecture hall. Simultaneously, we have expanded our facilities and acquired additional equipment for quality testing and research. As a result, our employees and partners now enjoy significantly enhanced conditions for both imparting and acquiring knowledge. The synergy between knowledge and people is pivotal and can create the most substantial impact in the auto body painting industry. Silco serves as a crucial driving force, operating at both the domestic and global levels.«

Why is it important to continually strengthen and upgrade knowledge? What do we gain from this, as employees, as customers, as partners?

»The world is changing rapidly; it's essential to invest in oneself and in one's knowledge to remain competitive. As you grow personally, you also grow professionally. The opportunity for education is one of the greatest motivators at work and in business, benefiting everyone and fostering progress. This becomes evident when you stand still and do nothing to improve. Continuous movement and striving to become better are imperative.«

We invite you to join us in a culture of connection that encourages education. Together, we continually create conditions for growth and development. This presents an excellent opportunity for us to be intentionally productive together. Our goals are set with the purpose of achieving success. 


Events, trainings, and educational programs we prepare for our employees and our customers have a unique power. “We love to l-earn together” is one of the key pillars of our core employer brand.
