TKK d.o.o. Opens a New State-of-the-Art Hazardous Materials Warehouse in Srpenica
Srpenica, 29 January 2026 – TKK d.o.o. has completed a major investment at its Srpenica site with the opening of a new hazardous materials warehouse, marking an important step toward an even higher level of safety, environmental protection, and logistical efficiency. The project included a comprehensive refurbishment of an existing facility, a change of its intended use, and the construction of new infrastructure elements.
The new warehouse is designed for the storage of hazardous liquids in IBC containers, drums, and other smaller packaging.
Safety as a Key Priority
For fire safety reasons, the warehouse is physically separated from other facilities. It is located at least 15 meters away from neighboring buildings and at least 28 meters from land outside the company’s ownership, allowing easier access for firefighting vehicles and reducing the risk of fire spread.
The entire facility is constructed as a containment basin, capable of retaining the full volume of stored chemicals as well as firefighting water.
Active Fire Protection
The warehouse is equipped with state-of-the-art safety systems, including:
- automatic fire detection with smoke detectors and temperature-sensing cables,
- gas detection (seven Dräger detectors connected to the gas and fire alarm control panels),
- smoke and heat extraction system,
- external hydrant network,
- 24-hour on-site security service.
The total storage capacity amounts to approximately 765 pallet positions for IBC containers, distributed across individual storage sectors.
Digitally Managed Warehousing
The SAP EWM system enables automated warehouse management and the separation of incompatible chemicals (environmentally hazardous, flammable, corrosive, and harmful to health) based on master data in the system. This further reduces risks and ensures full traceability.
At the opening ceremony, guests and employees were addressed by the company’s Managing Director, Mr. Uroš Lozar, and the Mayor of the Municipality of Bovec, Mr. Valter Mlekuž, who both emphasized the importance of the investment for the company’s development and the safety of the local environment.
The event was attended by numerous representatives of national and local institutions, as well as civil protection and rescue services:
- Danijel Krivec, Vice President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia
- Edi Melinc, Head of Civil Protection, Bovec
- Aleksander Vončina, Head of Civil Protection, Kobarid
- Miha Vencelj, Head of Civil Protection and the Tolmin Firefighters’ Association
- Uroš Kemper, Head of the Bovec Firefighters’ Association
- Boštjan Žagar, Deputy Head of the Bovec Firefighters’ Association
- Mitja Ivančič, Head of the Kobarid Firefighters’ Association
Their presence confirms the importance of the project for the wider community and highlights the excellent cooperation between TKK d.o.o. and local protection and rescue services.
With this new facility, TKK d.o.o. reaffirms its commitment to the highest standards of safety, environmental protection, and responsible handling of hazardous materials, while strengthening its long-term presence in the local community.
