Toplica, Serbia, the homeland of Jug Bogdan, Milan Toplica
and Empress Milica has been decorated for centuries with the rich vineyards,
fertile orchards and an outstanding skill of making wine and hard liquors. The
activities of Prokupac have
been based on this great tradition.
 Prokupac, Prokuplje begins its path of development as one
orchard-vineyard cooperative founded in 1955 involving 27
cooperators. It soon developed and had about 150
cooperators-winegrowers. By the decision of the cooperative
staff and the resolution of the City Council of Prokuplje, Serbia in June 1958,
the cooperative joined the newly formed company for production and trade of
alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks Prokupac, Prokuplje. In the same year a warehouse was
founded in Belgrade which grew to be a plant of Prokupac from Prokuplje with 240 employees.
At present, there are 173 employees. In the professional and
skilled structure there has been greater and greater number of
workers with two-year port-secondary school qualifications and
college education. In the age structure, the workers between 30
to 40 years of age dominate but the tendency of rejuvenating the
staff will in future be the framework of the company's
development.
 Prokupac is located in the area where a very important production of raw materials
has been realized and almost the total quantity of the basic raw materials
can be supplied from the location of the company.
The production has been varying and it can go up to 200.000 units of
products per month. The drinks are of high quality, with natural background
that has been proved by great number of awards and medals of various fairs
the best of them being the old, strong plum twice-distilled "Monastery" brandy, well-known all around the world for its quality.
The company is rich in its retail network over the whole country and it
has been cooperating with many famous companies dealing with wholesale
trade. It also has its operating unit - a warehouse on the Montenegro coast.
The quality of our drinks caused the cooperation with foreign partners and
it goes well in all parts of the world.
The basic activities of the company are: drinks production, wholesale trade,
and retail trade. Prokupac occupies the business area of over
9500 m2 in the already existing location and over 3000 m2 out of the
