Steel structures from Croatia — for projects across Europe and worldwide
We design, fabricate to EN 1090 and deliver steel halls, structures and towers — 150+ projects completed. Our plant in Đakovo is about 400 km from the port of Rijeka, which has direct services to the Mediterranean and Asia.
What we deliver
Everything from one plant
Certificates & standards
Quality that crosses borders
For markets outside the EU/EEA we check the required standards and certification for each project before quoting.
Logistics
From Đakovo to the world’s oceans
Croatia’s Adriatic ports offer direct container services to Asia and terminals for long and heavy steel. Port and carrier are chosen for each project.
What fits in a container?
Enter the length of the longest element.
40' / 40' HC or open top
Internal length 12,031 mm (open top 12,020 mm, top loading by crane).
Dimensions from ONE carrier tables; 40' payload about 26.7 t. Heavy plates and columns often reach the weight limit before the volume.
Distances from Đakovo (road, approx.)
Route calculation OpenStreetMap (OSRM), passenger car; trucks take longer.
Delivery terms are agreed under Incoterms® 2020. For containerised cargo the ICC explains why FCA is more suitable than FOB, which predates containers. ICC Academy

Frequently asked questions
Do you deliver steel structures outside Croatia?
Yes. We have 150+ projects and deliver across Europe. For markets outside the EU we check standards, documentation and erection requirements for each project before quoting.
Which port is used for export?
It depends on the destination. Rijeka has deep-sea container terminals with direct services to Asia and a general-cargo terminal for long steel elements; Ploče is an option for the south and Bosnia. Port and carrier are agreed for each project.
Do steel beams fit in a container?
Elements up to about 12 m fit in a 40' container (12,031 mm inside). Longer ones ship as break-bulk or ro-ro, and within Europe by road as an abnormal load.
Which certificates do you hold?
EN 1090, ISO 9001 and ISO 3834; design to Eurocode 3.
Which languages do you work in?
English, German and Croatian.
