 Bosnia and Herzegovina

A Long Tradition in Automotive Industry

In order to engage current potentials, it was necessary to systematically organize the

automotive industry of B&H and ensure its greater participation in the foreign market as well
as the market of the Republic of Turkey.

The Automotive industry of Bosnia and Herzegovina has a long tradition that lasts for more
than one century and in a combination with the new factories established by the foreign
investors and traditional local companies that passed the tests of modern automotive
components production; those brands are ready for New Age of the car industry.

Beginnings of automotive industry in B&H were related to the production of parts for
Mercedes and then for Volkswagen. In B&H since 1970, the TAS Sarajevo factory was
established as a joint venture between Volkswagen and UNIS. A large number of companies
were involved in TAS supply chain and those companies were experiencing a strong
development.

Today, B&H companies are working for major global brands and the main advantages are
modern factories, highly educated and competitive labor force, short delivery times due
to proximity to the EU, developed industrial tradition etc. Many companies from B&H are
recognized and are very important business partners for large companies in Europe. Parts
of metal, plastics, textiles, rubber are manufactured and/or assembled in B&H factories.
Also, we must not neglect the potential of companies in B&H that make design and product
development in the automotive industry.

The fact that B&H carries out more than 90% of its foreign trade with EU and CEFTA
member states, it makes sense to find the simpler and more efficient solutions in the field of
mutual cooperation between B&H and these associations, with the aim of removing barriers
that hinder trade.

Auto Components
Production
Bosnia and Herzegovina has a long tradition
and extensive experience in the production
of components for the automotive industry
and therefore a strong technological base
required for the production of highly
sophisticated automotive parts.

The development of the B&H automotive

industry has grown enormously since
the beginning of cooperation with the
world’s diesel engine manufacturers, while
the period 1970-1992 is considered the
culmination of the development of the B&H
automotive industry so far when domestic
companies cooperate with large companies
such as Mercedes-Benz, VW, SKF, MANN.
Thanks to the companies that were leaders
of economic development in those times,
today we still enjoy the reputation of a
country with huge potential for production
in the automotive industry.

Although not to the degree that suits our

capabilities and desires, we are still present
in the world market. In the last ten years,
this industry has developed dynamically
and since then has been heavily exported,
exporting on average 90% of its production
to 30 countries in the world.

The analysis that was done for the purpose

of promoting B&H’s automotive industry,
shows that almost all automotive companies
in BiH are engaged in the production of
parts and components for global and
European brands.
The majority of automotive enterprises
operate in the sub-sector of machine
processing, while some enterprises deal
with specialized production (border areas
from the aspect of technologies, materials
and products – e.g. plastic fibers, ceramics,
filters and rubber). Five enterprises provide
ICT and design services for the automotive
industry, while four produce electro-
components for conventional vehicles. The
remaining enterprises process textile and
plastics for automotive industry.

 Business Results of the
Automotive Industry
Significant business results achieved in previous years were related mainly to the members
of the global automotive industry consortium, (Volkswagen, ArcelorMittal, and Man+Hummel
Group) as well as regional companies (Cimos, Prevent Group, Div) that recorded impressive
financial and operating results on an annual basis.

Thus, the companies mentioned earlier had directly placed own range of products with a
large global automotive industry consortium of western Europe, namely the Volkswagen
group, who may be noted as one of the most successful models in the future and become a
backbone of B&H’s metal and auto industry.

16 Bosnia and Herzegovina Automotive İndustry

Besides the above mentioned, small and
medium companies benefit out of the
export potential by realizing an ambitious
plan of the business expansion such as Unis
Tok from Kalesija, Plamigo from Gračanica
and CIMOS Group, TTKabel from Široki
Brijeg, Miviko from Posušje and Kapis from
Tomislavgrad.

Aggressive expansion of the mentioned

manufacturers is mostly the result of the
successfully established business relations
and entrance at the German market
supported by FIRMA project.

Bosnia and Herzegovina Automotive Industry 17

 Customers and Export
Historically and today automotive components sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina produces for the
leading automotive industry brand names (Volkswagen, Audi, MAN, Aston Martin, PSA Peugeot
Citroen, etc).

Many B&H companies forming this sub-sector are producers of a wide range of components,
while Volkswagen Sarajevo used to finally assemble various types of VW, Skoda and Audi
passengers’ cars in SKD system. Prevent BiH, as a subsidiary of a Slovenian group, supplies the
seat covers for the VW, Volvo, Audi, Peugeot etc. There are also, companies that produce variety
of auto-parts for renowned brand such as: Porsche and Land Rover, Seat (Emka Bekto, Core d.o.o.,
Plamingo d.o.o., etc.)

Auto components sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina is strongly export-oriented, exporting in

average 90% of their production in 30 countries all around world. The total amount of exports
from B&H to the Republic of Turkey for the automotive sector in 2019 amounted to EUR 622.05
thousand, main auto-components that B&H companies export to Turkey are coolers, brakes,
exhaust pipes, etc.

Main export automotive markets (customers) of the automotive industry in 2019 were Germany,
Luxembourg, Slovenia, Austria, Italy, etc.

Human Resources and Education
Human resources with technical skills and expertise is the most favorable advantage for
investing in auto components sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Educated and skilled labor
force is still abundantly available throughout the country particularly for the automotive and
metal processing industry. Another advantage of B&H is the high density of research and
development institutes, which are the base for effective cooperation with the companies
and meeting their development needs. On the other hand, a rise in the number of employees
was registered in all other MP sub-segments, except for the manufacture of Other Transport
Equipment, which brightens the overall labor market framework for the MP industry.

Mechanical and other related sciences have educational systems and universities, and have
achieved success in collaboration with companies in the metal and automotive industries in
recent years. In particular, mechanical engineering faculties are in close cooperation with local
companies from the automotive industry on a large number of R&D projects.

According to a survey done by Foreign Trade Chamber Office, it is estimated that B&H
automotive industry employs app. 15,000 people.

continued our work under the new name
Steffex engineering d.o.o., as the legal
successor of Invest Market.

Core activities have remained the same. In the past period we have successfully concluded
numerous projects and investments, of which we will single out some:

• Engineering work with Public Enterprise Electric Power Industry of BiH on the delivery
and installation of technological equipment for the hydroelectric power plant BUK Bijela,
