In its early days, Kožul's business focused on selling brushes and rollers at a kiosk, which over time and effort grew into a business space – the Hobi Centar in Slavonski Brod, now boasting over 1200 m2 of retail space. Kožul's retail center offers customers a wide range of products, while providing excellent service and individualized attention, making it not only a destination for purchasing tools and other necessities, but also a place where every customer feels special and valued.
Continuing its successful operations, two new warehouse spaces with over 1600 pallet positions were built, resulting in fast and efficient service tailored to meet specific requirements and needs to always be available to partners, with goods delivered within 24 hours. Additionally, a professional logistic network, including a logistic and distribution center, enables efficient storage and delivery of goods to customers across Southeast Europe.
Systematically focused on clients and setting standards in the tool industry, Kožul turned to its own production.

Furthermore, a collection of knee pads for ceramicists and welders was added to the range of products made from PU foam.
