Regulus Global LLC, an American company specializing in the defense and logistics sector based in Virginia Beach, submits a proposal for a strategic investment in the amount of 100 million US dollars in the company Pretis, a key factory of the dedicated industry whose headquarters is in Vogošća.
Regulus Global currently owns a 41.53% ownership stake in Pretis, while the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is the majority owner with a 51% stake.
Overview of the strategic investment plan
The proposed investment is planned for implementation over a three-year period (2026-2028), with a focus on significantly improving Pretis’ production capacity, technological sophistication, and global competitiveness.
The plan includes modernization of forging and heat treatment facilities, expansion of in-house explosives filling capacity, introduction of automated material handling systems, and implementation of advanced digital tools including ERP systems, IoT platforms, and blockchain-based traceability solutions. These upgrades are aimed at achieving the production goal of up to one million artillery shells per year, with dual capability for 152mm and 155mm calibers.
Economic and strategic impact
This investment is expected to generate a significant number of direct and indirect jobs in the manufacturing, engineering, information technology, logistics and construction sectors. At the same time, it will open up long-term career paths and opportunities for professional development in the field of advanced industrial production for the workforce from the region.
The transformation of the Pretis company through this program could position Bosnia and Herzegovina as a competitive center of dedicated industry in Southeastern Europe. By meeting NATO standards and increasing the volume of production, the country will strengthen its role in international supply chains, expand export potential and attract further foreign investment in the industrial sector.
Commitment to transparency and partnership
As it is a proposal for an investment plan, its implementation will require the consent and active participation of the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has the majority ownership of Pretis.
Regulus Global is fully committed to transparent planning, equal partnership and continuous dialogue with all competent institutions. The company looks forward to aligning its strategic goals with the priorities of the Federation and ensuring that this investment brings long-term economic and security benefits to the country.
