State-controlled Energoinvest is Bosnia's biggest engineering company. It is based in Bosnia's Muslim-Croat Federation, which is one of the two autonomous parts of the war-divided Bosnia. The other is the Serb Republic.
The company signed several large contracts last year, including one for a 160 million euro ($222 million) transmission line project in Libya and a 10.5 million euro transmission stations project in Macedonia. It has also won several smaller projects in Algeria, Ethiopia, Ireland and Bosnia and a 27.5 million euro power plant renovation deal in Serbia.
Last October, the Federation government called an international tender to sell its 67% stake in the company valued at 147.9 million marka but suspended the sale last month until a new evaluation procedure is completed. The remaining 33% of the company are with private shareholders and investment funds.
Energoinvest is Bosnia's fifth-largest exporter. It employs 733.
