Saint Jean Industries D.O.O, located in the town of Slavonski Brod, Croatia, on the outskirts of Bosnia-Herzegovina, is celebrating two decades of success, innovation and excellence this year. Since its creation in 2004, the Croatian subsidiary of Saint Jean Industries has distinguished itself through its commitment to quality and innovation in the industrial sector.
SJI’s international beginnings
Over the past 20 years, Saint Jean Industries has established itself as a key player in the manufacture of safety components for the automotive and industrial sectors. Saint Jean Industries D.O.O. is the basis of our company’s development throughout the world, with the aim of becoming “glocal” (global and local).
Saint Jean Industries D.O.O is the group’s second site and its first outside France. Our Croatian site is therefore the starting point for the company’s strong commitment to emancipation throughout the world. Since then, Saint Jean Industries has become an internationally established company, both in Europe with production sites in France, Croatia, Germany and Spain, and outside Europe with production sites in the USA and China.
Discovering Saint Jean Industries D.O.O.
Our Croatian subsidiary started out with a small, dedicated team and has gradually evolved into a benchmark production site, today employing several hundred people, delivering millions of aluminum parts every year and collaborating with leading partners around the world.
Our Croatian plant has long experience in aluminum casting and machining for the automotive and industrial markets. The site boasts a wide range of aluminum processes, including melting, gravity casting, low-pressure casting, post-forging cutting, heat treatment, machining and component assembly.
The real driving force behind this success is, of course, the dedication of all our teams. Every member of Saint Jean Industries D.O.O., from the operator to the site manager to the production line managers, contributes on a daily basis to the company’s success.
“The success of this project is above all the result of teamwork between the staff of Saint Jean Industries D.O.O. and the many people involved in the Saint Jean Industries group over the past 20 years. Saint Jean Industries D.O.O has evolved in all sectors, with new manufacturing processes, new types of control, increasingly demanding customer specifications and the search for new business areas. I’m always fascinated by the Saint Jean Industries D.O.O. team’s ability to adapt quickly to change, and above all their motivation for this company. I’d like to thank all those who have contributed to the development of Saint Jean Industries Croatia over the past 20 years.” said Vincent DOSMAS, Site Manager at Saint Jean Industries D.O.O.

Looking to the future, Saint Jean Industries D.O.O. continues to project itself into a future marked by innovation. The company plans to further automate its production capabilities and explore new markets, while maintaining its commitment to quality and sustainability.
