[What is the Republic of Slovenia and GEA?]
The Republic of Slovenia, where GEA is located, is located almost in the center of Europe, bordering the Alps to the north and the Adriatic Sea of the Mediterranean Sea to the south, a country similar to Shikoku in Japan. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of the country.
In fact, there are many local dishes that use buckwheat flour, which is familiar to Japanese people, and there is a custom of pouring pumpkin seed oil on galettes (crepes made with buckwheat flour). Slovenia's soba production is 3,000 tons, and the consumption per person is about 1.5 kg per year, which is 1.5 times more than Japanese people, and they like soba even more than Japanese people.
GEA was founded in Slovenia in 1904. Since then, for over 110 years, we have continued to focus on unique traditional manufacturing methods, quality and safety, and as the only oil manufacturer in Slovenia, we have continued to produce oil of the highest standards that are recognized by the EU.
