Zagrebački Holding is charting an ambitious course for 2026, outlining a comprehensive plan focused on expansion, modernization, and financial stability. The company intends to significantly boost its workforce, adding 305 new employees, and enhance its operational capacity with a modernized, environmentally friendlier fleet for its utility services, including the addition of six 'tow trucks' (pauk-vozila). Key infrastructure projects are also on the agenda, such as the development of a new public garage and the advancement of plans for the reconstruction of the Dolac market, a vital hub for the city. Despite potential challenges, including the ongoing energy crisis and past damages from severe weather, Holding is projecting a profitable year, demonstrating resilience and a commitment to growth. While acknowledging that not all subsidiaries will achieve profitability, with City Cemeteries, Arena Zagreb, and Markets Zagreb identified as primary loss-makers, the overall outlook remains positive. This strategic plan underscores Holding's dedication to investing in the city's development and improving its services for citizens.
