Summary:
The main activity of the Bosnian company is the production of fiberglass profile which have wide application in construction, such as industrial fences, bridges, motorway signs. The company is engaged in the production of various profiles made of fiberglass and polyester resins for building applications. It has more than 400 different molds. The Bosnian company is looking for business partners interested in this tool under financial and acquisition agreements.
Description:
The Bosnian company supplies a big part of the European market with high quality GRP (re-struct pultruded profile) profiles such as h-beams, square tubes, round tubes, l profiles, etc. custom profiles, with special shapes by the customer's drawing, and cable trays usually used in the railways and telecommunication market. The products can be used for marine, transportation, military, agriculture, etc. paying attention on the customer needs and following the global trends.
The production covers semi-finished products as well as complete systems, which will bring the right and safe solution.
It is well known that in Europe the use of composites is increasingly taking place as an alternative to traditional materials. Thanks to their lightness, corrosion resistance and durability, the market is recognizing that there is no better solution than GRP . The main goal is to be a protagonist of this growth.
Thanks to a constant creation of ideas and solutions, it grows every year, improving its equipment and bringing day-by-day small enhancements that result in great changes for its production process. With a close-knit team and mutual respect between colleagues, the company can afford to set a great goal, namely to reach with its quality a large share of the European market in the near future.
The company is open to any modality that will help them to have more capital to be used to optimize the production in following ways:
- Buying the molds which will help them to increase the production speed and to decrease the % of waste.
- Financing the raw materials, buying them at higher volumes and at lower prices.
In order to carry out further development the company seeks international partners who are willing to give their support under financial agreements. Another kind of collaboration viable is that of the acquisition agreement.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
Type: Industry
Activity: partners operating in various fields of the metal processing industry
Role:
The goal is to find agreements with new partners willing to finance the activity in order to increase the production and reinforce the company's structure.
The company expects from the potential investors a real interest in a long-term basis, by establishing a financial agreement.
The company needs funds to develop abroad and to increase its production volumes. Therefore the Bosnian producer is looking for partner for the conclusion of a financial and acquisition agreement to extend its business.
Under the acquisition agreement, the company seeks reliable foreign company who will invest capital, human resources and know-how in order to increase the quality of the products and who will invest in new sophisticated machines and technology.

Re-Struct Pultruded Profile advantages:
Maintenance free
Thanks to specific UV additives and a superficial polyester veil, they can guarantee a high durability of their products, without the need of repainting or recovery.
Electrical insulator
The non-conductive nature of glass and resin, which are the main components in their products, permit to obtain an ideal electrical insulator. That’s why GRP profiles are massively used for cable trays and ladders.
Thermal insulator
GRP profiles are remarkably resistant to temperature changes. With a thermal conductivity coefficient of 0,31 W/mK, the mechanical properties remain unchanged from -40°C to 180°C. Their products are the perfect solution where energy saving is important.
Fire resistance
Using the right fillers, they can meet any normative concerning self-extinguishing and fire resistance, with or without halogens.
Corrosion resistance
One of the main advantages of GRP is that it doesn’t corrode. Using dedicated formulations, Bosnian company can provide a high resistance in every environment, even if immersed in water.
Chemical resistance
GRP products has an outstanding resistance to chemical agents such as acids and solvents.
Mechanical strength
GRP has a high mechanical resistance, especially along the direction of the longitudinal fibres (pultrusion direction). By exploiting the anisotropy of GRP products, they can set in which directions our product must be mechanically more resistant, modifying the angle and the type of fibers.
Impact resistance
Their products don’t deform after an impact. Thanks to the glass Mat, the impact is distributed along the product, without damaging the surface. This characteristic is valid for any temperature condition.
