Stojan Kerbler is a great name in Slovenian photography, but also an indispensable personality at the aluminium factory in Kidričevo. He was born in 1938 in Ptujska Gora. After he finished his studies in electrical engineering in 1965, he was employed at the Alumina and Aluminium Factory, where he worked as Senior Energy Engineer up to his retirement in the year 2000.
