In the former Yugoslavia almost everything was produced, “from the needle to the locomotive”, and from time to time a map of all existing companies circulates on social networks.

Those who remember the previous state often say that there was no need for imports and that the state borrowed precisely to develop in this way. Some of the Yugoslav products were used all over the world.

They made airplanes, ships, cars, trucks, weapons, and even computers. Of course, there are companies that produce food, clothing and other necessities, but many of them no longer exist or are bankrupt and are failing, recalls the Kliks portal.

To remember the old days, a map was made of all the companies that existed in present-day Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Slovenia and Montenegro. The map soon went viral, which is why it is published on social networks by both citizens and various media, including the Tuzlanski.ba portal.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, TAS produced the popular Volkswagen “golf”, but also the “bug” with the help of the then UNIS. The Sarajevo Engine Factory is another of the giants whose plant was robbed and destroyed during and after the war. In Vogošća, in addition to TAS, there was also PRETIS, the leader of the special construction industry in Yugoslavia, where ammunition was produced.

FAP from Priboj and TAM from Maribor produced heavy trucks and trucks, and Kragujevac-based Zastava produced light conveyors. Zastava produced approximately 200,000 cars a year.

SOKO was the pride of the military industry, the production of which was also in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and there was also a state aircraft factory in Kraljevo.

The wagon factory was in Slavonski Brod, and in Croatia, given access to the sea, there were more shipyards. One more was in Montenegro, but also in Serbia. The Croatian shipyards – Uljanik in Pula and May 3 in Rijeka were worldwide and produced the largest overseas ships for foreign customers.

Yugoslavia was one of the five countries in Europe that had their own computers, the most famous was probably the galaxy and the first computer produced was CER-10. Iskra in Slovenia and Digitron in Istria (in Buje) began assembling computers in the late 1970s.

The Obod, Cer, Gorenje, Iskra, Rudi Čajavec factories produced electrical devices, televisions, radios, record players, cassette players and household appliances, and Borac Belgrade even produced espresso coffee machines.

EI Nis was one of the world’s best manufacturers of lamps for radio and TV receivers (Phillips also installed them), and began production of color TV receivers before Sony.

These are just a few of the factories that existed in Yugoslavia, and that were world class, considering it would be difficult to list them all.
