INTRODUCTION
Metal processing sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina, along with base metal production, has traditionally been countrys
strongest and the most successful industry and export sector. Metal sector as a whole makes up around 37% of total
country exports, which gives it a strong lead over top export categories.
Development of metal processing sector in B&H has been enabled by countrys natural endowment with natural
recourses (such as coal, iron ore, bauxite), as well as human capital. The sector is fairly large and it includes ferrous
and non-ferrous metal processing, chiefly in iron and steel, aluminum, lead, zinc and cooper. Technical capacities exist
in sheet metal processing, welding, plasma cutting, bending, machining, aluminum extrusion, castings, and forgings.
The sector consistently marks positive trade balance in most of its sub-segments.
The present structure of metal sector is characterized by large number of small companies producing lower valueadded products. Such environment provides great opportunities for foreign investors to integrate existing primary
producers and start production of higher-added products. In addition, there are opportunities to use existing
production facilities and capacities to increase production.
