Invitation to Tender for the Main Contractor for the Construction Works of the Stupnik Logistics and distribution centre

Zagreb, October 17, 2025 — CIAK Grupa d.d. announces an invitation to all interested construction companies to participate in the tender for the selection of the main contractor for the construction project of a new logistics and distribution center (LDC Stupnik).

Following completion of the Main Design and the preparation of the Bill of Quantities, we hereby invite all interested building contractors to participate in the tender for the construction of the logistics and distribution centre in Stupnik. The tender will be held in the first half of November, and all interested parties are requested to register their interest by submitting a letter of intent together with a list of references no later than 29 October 2025 to ldc@ciak-auto.hr

The construction of a new, energy-efficient and digitised distribution centre in Gornji Stupnik, with an area of approximately 15,000 m², will expand the existing logistics capacities of CIAK AUTO, the largest member of the CIAK Group and the largest independent aftermarket company in Croatia. The CIAK Auto logistics centre will also represent the first implementation of AutoStore in Croatia in the spare parts distribution segment, where an improvement in service levels toward all professional customers as well as end consumers is expected already at the beginning of 2027.

CIAK Group is known for over 30 years of continuous growth since its establishment and for sustained profitable operations. During 2020, CIAK Group consolidated all of its business entities and real estate into a single organisational unit and, as such, was the first in our region and industry to successfully complete an Initial Public Offering (IPO), becoming the regional leader in the independent aftermarket (spare parts) segment. Since the listing on the Zagreb Stock Exchange on 4 January 2021, CIAK Group has grown from 1,300 employees and €128M in revenues to over 3,400 employees and more than €359M in revenues. The company’s share value has increased by over 35%, and dividends are regularly paid to shareholders in the amount of approximately 50% of the profit achieved in the previous year. Based on publicly available data for the first half of the year for both CIAK Group and local and global competitors, we firmly believe that CIAK Group will continue to pursue its business mission in the coming years and deliver long-term value to shareholders.
