SHOWCASE OF SMREKOVIT PRODUCTS
In 1989, Ivo Konc designed Smrekovit Klasik (spruce resin ointment), the first spruce resin ointment in this part of Europe. This was because of this was unbearable back pain that he had felt since the age of 10, when he overcame tick-borne meningitis. From then on, the problems only became worse and were so severe that at the end of his studies at the Faculty of Sport, he was exempted from performing the practical part of the exams, and in 1974, he was also exempted from military service in the then Yugoslavian People's Army. At that time, the specialist doctor suggested an operation as the only option to avoid disability before age 30. He declined the operation and started looking for natural treatments. This was how he came to Ms. Prežle in Lesce, who gave him resin wraps, with which he effectively coped with pain in his spine.
When he dislocated a finger on his hand in 1989, Ms. Prežle's black and sticky wrap was not suitable for treatment and thus he made the first spruce ointment. Although he could not help himself and his dislocation with his invention, it was effective for many other problems. The spruce resin ointment spread through the whole of Yugoslavia at that time in two years, through neighbours, friends and acquaintances who excitedly spread the word of its effectiveness. In 1990, he opened a business.
IT ALL STARTED IN A SMALL WORKSHOP IN NAKLO NEAR KRANJ
Due to his own problems, Ivo Konc developed the first spruce resin ointment in Naklo near Kranj in 1989. At first, in front of the garage of his house and later he arranged a small building in front of the house for this purpose.
