Beginnings
A bit of history
Shijaku sh.p.k was founded as a small family business at the beginning of 1993, initially engaged in the trade of construction materials and food products. As the company’s operations showed promising growth and strong economic and financial indicators, the need arose to formally establish Shijaku sh.p.k.
Since its founding, the company has focused on trading two main categories of goods — construction materials and food products — both of which have consistently maintained high market demand, particularly in developing countries such as Albania. This strategic focus has been the key to our company’s success.
The management of Shijaku sh.p.k, with a clear vision of the market economy, leveraged the strong demand potential and successfully positioned the company as one of the most successful in northern Albania. This achievement was soon followed by expansion into international markets; as early as 1996, the company began import operations with neighboring countries, transporting goods by sea from Italy and by land from Greece.
During the period 1998–2002, Shijaku sh.p.k intensified its commercial activity, circulating substantial quantities of goods such as flour, wheat, corn, and roof tiles, in collaboration with European Union countries including Italy, France, and Greece.
Today, Shijaku sh.p.k remains a recognized name for professionalism, quality, and reliability in the trade of construction materials and food products across Albania and the region.
Our goal has always been — and continues to be — the diversification of activities, while maintaining careful consideration in selecting new investment sectors.
After
2002
Following 2002, as the company’s commercial activity reached high levels and its growth rates proved satisfactory, we focused on the idea of completing the full trading chain of our products. Within this framework, it was considered reasonable to undertake a strategic investment in domestic flour production, with a total investment of €7,000,000, of which Shijaku sh.p.k owned 12.5% of the share capital.

Expansion of
Activities
As part of the company’s growth and expansion in the field of construction materials, after achieving substantial turnover and a solid client base, the company reached the conclusion and made the decision to invest in the construction of a brick manufacturing plant in Fushë Krujë.
In line with this objective, together with its partner, the company established Milis Brick sh.a. in 2004, and jointly built the first private brick factory in Albania — an investment completed in October 2007.
The tendency toward new investments, driven by the generation of stable income, encouraged us to explore other areas of development.
