We've presented awards to the best innovators of 2021
The theme of this year's award ceremony was very topical: sustainable development.

We also bore sustainable development in mind when selecting the guest of honour for the event: Prof. Adriana Rejc Buhovac. Working with Buhovac has been very pleasant and efficient, because we share the same values and views on our company's sustainable development.
The result of sustainable development is a society that reflects respect for others in the sense of acknowledging differences and diversity, and respect for natural resources; a society that meets all its needs without compromising the development and growth of others. Is this also the story of Domel? All the award winners prove it is through their work.
Every year, we also use the award ceremony to commemorate an important anniversary. This year we celebrated the 30th anniversary of producing EC motors. Thirty years ago we began producing EC vacuum units, but today we're also producing a wide range of motors in addition to these.
There's another important milestone we should mention: just this past week we recorded 150 million vacuum units produced.
On this occasion, we presented:
- Ten bronze innovation awards to: Aleksander Pirih, Andraž Rant, Danijel Bajrektarević, Elizabeta Thaler, Franc Repnik, Gašper Tolar, Igor Demšar, Matej Bevk, Nejc Černilogar and Rok Vrhunc;
- Nine silver innovation awards to: Borut Fejfar, Darja Strnad Martinčič, Gregor Vidmar, Igor Prezelj, Janez Marguč, Klemen Polak, Marko Mlakar, Tilen Vrhunc and Rok Dobravec;
- An innovation mentor award to: Vili Logonder;
- An award for the largest number of innovation proposals submitted to: Rok Dobravec;
- An award recognising Domel's values of responsibility and concern for employees to: Alenka Katrašnik;
- A quality award to: Tomaž Furlan;
- An award to the development team for the professional innovation of a universal single-station rotor balancing machine;
- An award for implementing the TPM method to the series of turbine wheels from Reteče.
This year's gold winner is Miha Kržišnik, from the electronics development department at the EC Systems business unit. He has proposed many innovative solutions over the past fifteen years of working for the company. Miha regularly proposes improvements that exceed his supervisors' expectations, offer new sales opportunities and improve our products.
Our goals are clear, and all employees work together to raise the innovation culture at our company. These awards prove that we develop sustainable solutions, and that we can do even better!
More Domel insights:

Let’s take a closer look at why the e-bike is so amazing. It contributes to sustainable mobility and also helps improve the health of individuals and of society as a whole. The option of purchasing a Domel-driven e-bike bearing your company’s logo provides an additional incentive for increasing physical activity. Did you know that we offer personalised bikes? Riding an e-bike can help employees improve their physical fitness, reduce their stress levels and help them on their way towards a healthier lifestyle. They can now incorporate physical exercise into their daily routine, which eliminates the need to spend time at the gym. But that’s not all the e-bike has to offer. Adaptable mobility is another one of its many super powers, helping employees avoid traffic jams and providing them with a fast and efficient means of getting around. E-bikes are perfect for shorter or medium-length distances, and can be combined with public transport for the best results. And let’s not forget about how much money they can save on fuel and parking charges. E-bikes can open the door to mobility and independence for every employee, not all of whom will have a driving licence or a car. Let’s take a look at how e-bikes are saving the planet. Their CO2 emissions are low because they don’t produce direct exhaust gases or particles. This improves air quality. Domel encourages its employees to adopt a healthy and active lifestyle in their free time. It places great emphasis on recreation, to which it gives substantial financial support. We help finance recreational activities away from the workplace, including skiing, swimming and group recreation in sports halls. We also co-finance massages, visits to the sauna, and holiday accommodation by the sea and at spa resorts. We cover the registration fee in full for employees who wish to take part in running and cycling events, subsidise season tickets for the swimming pool, sauna and tennis facilities at Ratitovec institute, and provide vouchers for group exercise, fitness, massage and recreational swimming in Železniki, Škofja Loka and Kranj. During the summer months, we exercise and take part in various events at Selca sports park. Every year we organise an unforgettable employee picnic, which provides a perfect mix of entertainment and sport. In the autumn and winter we organise group recreation, where employees can play badminton, table tennis, five-a-side football, volleyball or basketball for free. There can be no excuse for not taking part in fitness or group activities on grounds of price, as we provide vouchers that keep costs to a minimum. And if you’re a skiing enthusiast, you’ve come to the right place, with low-price ski passes available for the Soriška Planina, Stari Vrh, and Cerkno ski resorts. Every day we make a wide range of apples available for our employees. We do all of this to promote sustainability and our employees’ health. E-bikes are proving to be a key factor in the development of a more sustainable future. Not only do they reduce CO2 emissions, but they also provide long-term benefits for individuals and the environment. The combination of fun, recreation and e-bikes gives our employees an unforgettable experience. We are building a more sustainable future – one that connects us and makes us healthier, happier and full of energy.
