We are sad to inform you that Eng. Vladimir Puklavec, the owner of one of the largest wine cellars in our country Puklavec Family Wines, has passed.

Eng. Vladimir Puklavec moved to Germany after graduating in engineering in Slovenia where he established one of the most successful German companies in the field of liquid gas. Later on, Mr Puklavec acquired wine yards in his native  Slovenian region, around Ptuj and Ormož, and built up the family business of being the biggest wine exporter, owning the wine yard also in North Macedonia (former Republic of Macedonia). Eng. Puklavec also founded the Slovenian business club in Germany, together with Dr Doberšek. He was, by heart and values, the example of the hard-working Slovenian who succeeded globally. Since its foundation,  Eng. Puklavec participated also in the SGBN’s activities. We will remember him always with the highest respect.
