Founded in 1994, DDL Zagreb operates in the distribution of veterinary products in Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia. With more than 1,000 customers and a diversified product portfolio, it is one of the market leaders, now integrated into the Neftys Pharma group.

Diego Mignot, Group Managing Director, said: «We are delighted to announce that Neftys Pharma has completed the acquisition of a majority stake in DDL, a leading Adriatic distributor based in Zagreb, serving the Croatian, Slovenian and Serbian markets. This marks a significant milestone in our growth journey and reflects our continued commitment to expanding our leadership across key regional markets.”

Led by Darko, Dean and Ida, DDL has built a strong service-oriented business that serves over 1,000 clients and operates 10 high-end retail shops (soon 11). Their success is a testimony to the team’s dedication, customer focus and entrepreneurial values.

As Ida Šepek, CEO of DDL, shared: «The combination of DDL’s deep market knowledge and longstanding relationships, together with Neftys Pharma’s international expertise and infrastructure, will enable DDL to accelerate growth, expand our offering and deliver even greater value to our partners and customers.”

With €15M in turnover and 80 employees, DDL will play a key role in strengthening Neftys Pharma’s presence in the Adriatic region. This acquisition underlines Neftys Pharma’s ambition to become the reference partner for the health animal professionals and laboratories across Europe, by combining local expertise with international scale and resources.

Neftys Pharma continues to grow stronger, ready to navigate an evolving market and reinforce its leadership across Europe.
