FAN-Commerce d.o.o. from Visoko has been focused on the production of healthy, organic foods for many years. Thanks to the support of the C2C Fund, they have expanded their production with a range of gluten-free foods that meet all the requirements for certification according to EU standards. The total value of the project was 50.000 EUR, out of which 20.000 EUR were grants from the C2C Fund.

“The project we applied for funds from the C2C Fund is the production of gluten-free food that required a completely new plant and equipment that is “sterile ”to prevent any possible gluten contamination. The funds were primarily spent on infrastructure works, procurement of machinery and equipment, raw materials, packaging materials, laboratory analysis, certification, and for hiring a new worker, a food technologist," the company explains.

They especially emphasize that this is the first project in the region that is both organic and gluten-free.

"Already in the first quarter of the project, we created the first products that achieved the desired effect on the market. After that, we got the opportunity to place our products in the leading supermarket chains as new, unusual, rare and necessary products of the domestic BH brand. The increased volume of work activities and product placement required the employment of additional workers so that at the end of the project we now have 10 employees," they point out in  „FAN-Commerce“.

They are proud, they say, that all products created within this project are labelled "gluten-free" and that all consumers have insight into current laboratory analyzes of the presence of gluten, which is new on the BH market.

"C2C has greatly accelerated and helped the realization of our idea to the desired extent and moment. We are happy that we have realized a very important project for the inhabitants of B&H, for whom gluten-free food is the only option," they say in this company.

"FAN-Commerce" is a small family company for trade, production and services founded in 1991. Although primarily focused on imports and distribution, in recent years they have turned to their own production of organic food. They launched their own brand „BIOfan“ as the first BH brand of certified organic foods according to EU standards.
