nir-vana innovation network

The Slovenian company established in 2019 specializes in the boutique production of essential oils and hydrolats. Most of the herbs used in the distillation are grown by the company, with part of the plants collected in the wild in Slovenia and Croatia. The company grows and distils 12 different plants, and all herbs are harvested by hand.

Because of the focus on traditional, sustainable, and manual production, the produced quantities are smaller. Moreover, the company also organizes seminars and workshops along with consultations in the field of aromatherapy, distillation, and herb production.

They produce essential oils and hydrosols from the following herbs and plants:
- silver fir (Abies alba)
- melissa (Melissa officinalis)
- thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
- oregano (Origanum vulgaris)
- clary sage (Salvia sclarea)
- yarrow (Achilea millefolium)
- peppermint (Mentha x piperita)
- lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
- laurel bay (Laurus nobilis)
- immortelle (Helichrysum italicum)
- spruce (Picea abies)
- sage (Salvia officinalis)
- hysop (Hyssop officinalis)
- chamomille (Matricaria recutita).

The company is looking for companies active in the aromatherapeutic business to use their products in their services or to distribute the products directly to the customers, or agents/sales representatives who can sell their products in Austria, Germany, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
