We are proud to announce that Klimer d.n.o. is both a founding member and a key driving force behind the establishment of the Slovenian Cleanroom Society (SCS). Our Business Director, Nataša Štirn, M.Sc., serves as the association’s Vice President, and we are honored to collaborate with industry leaders to advance cleanroom technology in Slovenia. The SCS operates under the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia (GZS) and is working towards membership with the International Confederation of Contamination Control Societies (ICCCS).

The SCS was created to fill the need for a dedicated Slovenian association focused on cleanroom technology and contamination control. The association’s vision is inspired by similar organizations around the world, such as the Irish Cleanroom Society (ICS). By establishing a national association, we aim to foster growth, set industry standards, and support professionals working in contamination-sensitive environments across sectors, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, optics, and nanotechnology.

Our Objectives: The goals of SCS are to promote public understanding of cleanroom technology, advance the science of contamination control, and foster high standards within the industry. Key aims include:

• Educating the public and promoting health through cleanroom technology.

• Developing and standardizing effective cleanroom and contamination control practices.

• Supporting research and professional training to meet the needs of Slovenia’s growing industries, particularly pharmaceuticals, which are seeing substantial investments from companies such as Novartis, Sandoz, and Porton.

Our Actions: To achieve these objectives, SCS will:

• Host symposiums, seminars, and exhibitions to share knowledge and expertise.

• Promote educational initiatives and training in cleanroom technology and contamination control.

• Encourage research across all areas related to cleanroom technology.

• Collaborate in establishing and monitoring standards and guidelines to ensure best practices.

Our Principles: The Slovenian Cleanroom Society is committed to being a non-profit, non-partisan organization that is open to all cleanroom professionals and users in Slovenia.

Under the leadership of our president, Mr. Aleš Bogataj from Novartis, and guided by extensive industry expertise, SCS brings together Slovenia’s largest cleanroom users, especially in pharmaceuticals. We are pleased to have a growing list of esteemed Corporate Members, including:
