Ljubljana, 29 May

Retailer Mercator remained the biggest Slovenian company in 2005, while pharma company Krka was, again, ranked as the best Slovenian company, according to the "101 Biggest and Best Slovenian Companies" survey in business daily Finance.

Using weighted data on shifts in company results and size according to different factors (revenues, profit, number of employees), the paper concluded that Mercator retained its position as the biggest Slovenian company in 2005.
Ranked by size, Mercator was followed by Krka, pharma company Lek, national telco Telekom Slovenije and car manufacturer Revoz, the survey published in Monday's edition also shows.
Meanwhile, Krka was the best Slovenian company of 2005, due to its return on equity and growth in profit. The Novo-mesto based drug maker was followed by steel producer Metal Ravne, Revoz, gaming company Hit and another steel producer, Store Steel.
