A family-owned business holding from Kraljevo, bringing together five companies across animal nutrition, poultry production, frozen fruit, and hospitality, all operating under one strategic roof.

Our Companies

Distinct brands, one Group

01 / Introduction

A holding built in Serbia

Pantelić Group is a Serbian family-owned business holding headquartered in Kraljevo, bringing together five operating companies across the food, agriculture, and hospitality sectors of Central Serbia.

At the heart of the Group is a clear operating logic. Each company runs as an independent business with its own leadership, customers, and market discipline, while the Group provides a shared strategic platform, common quality standards, and the long-term capital that allows each unit to invest in modernisation, certifications, and growth.

"

Five companies, two sectors, one operating standard, with every business unit accountable for its own performance and contributing to a stronger whole.

Pantelić Group

In food and agriculture, the Group operates a vertically integrated cluster, the Pantelić animal-nutrition feed mill in Ratina, the automated Aviprom 2011 broiler farms in Metikoš, and the internationally certified Panberry IQF frozen-fruit business that exports to more than fifteen markets across Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

In hospitality, the Group runs two four-star properties in Central Serbia, Hotel Sunce, a fully reconstructed spa resort in Sokobanja with its 1,300 m² wellness centre, and Hotel Botika, a refined city hotel in the centre of Kraljevo with the Monarch restaurant. Together these five companies form a single industrial and hospitality platform rooted in the heart of Serbia.
