TRB was founded in 1955 as a state-owned enterprise with two workshops for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of vehicle systems, we grew to become the Yugoslav Armed Forces Main Depot, with over 1,500 employees and 22,000 m2 of covered manufacturing and warehouse space. TRB quickly established its position as an integrator of comprehensive national defence and security solutions. Innovation and product development remain pillars of our strong manufacturing foundation. Based on a recent act of Parliament, the company completed the process of privatization, wherein the Government of the Republika Srpska initially retains a minority stake. The retention of Government participation provides a foundation of commercial contracts in support of raising national defence and security capabilities.
