This market has huge potential, and we recognized it, and thanks to the product quality of Prevent Safety, we have achieved a very good cooperation in this field. Also, our products are highly represented in the regional countries where significant demand of protective gloves has been recorded”, says Pita.

“Prevent Safety is oriented to businesses, but a part of product can be found in broad sale through certain retail chains with which we work. The demand is based on the needs of companies operating in the segment of industry. Unfortunately, in addition to domestic production with high quality, a high percentage of the total import in BiH is related exactly to protective equipment. Due to lower prices, the buyers still opt for products from Asian countries”, explains Pita and adds that they work for large companies from the field of industry.

“In recent years, Prevent Safety has seen continuous growth. We have invested significant resources in development of new products and market expansion which resulted in this good results. The fact is that BiH, in addition to excellent potential for industry development, is still less attractive to investors in relation to the regional countries. This is primarily due to poor infrastructure and lack of legal regulations which would facilitate business operations for businessmen. There are certainly huge burdens and bureaucratic procedures. Prevent Safety seeks to overcome the above-mentioned barriers, and our goal is to offer a good practice example for successful business and contribution to development of BiH economy”, says Prevent Safety Director.
