About us

The beginnings of the company date back to 1988, when Franc Novak started restoring gliders.
In 2000, the company moved to new facilities with the most up-to-date equipment near the motorway and Lesce aerodrome.
The company was renamed into GLIDERSERVICE Novak d.o.o. in 2015, continuing the tradition as a family company under the management of the second generation, a team of 15 and several contractors.

The mission of GLIDERSERVICE Novak d.o.o. is to provide comprehensive glider maintenance services according to the highest quality standards.
