DCM
Cable TV & Broadband Internet Provider

Investment Date: March 2001

Free and efficient flow of information and access to improving communication technology are critical for Croatia’s continued economic growth.

DCM is the largest cable television and broadband provider in Croatia, with market-leading operations in four major cities and several suburbs in Croatia. The cable industry in Croatia is less developed than other Southeast European countries, comprised of companies lacking the financing possibilities and know-how to modernize and expand their networks. DCM was created when SEAF and other foreign investors partnered with a Croatian cable company to merge several cable companies and invest in building out a modern network. DCM has successfully completed the bulk of its network rollout and has achieved a healthy rate of growth in revenue and subscriber numbers. As a result, Croatians have access to a cable and broadband system that can meet today’s consumer and business needs, and financiers, managers, and employees alike feel confident that DCM will continue to grow.
