In addition to the production of springs, there is also the production of fuel filter covers obtained by a combination of a whole range of technologies, such as pressing, forming and bending pipes, assembly, brazing in a protective atmosphere, and surface protection of metals. The Komar plaster factory is located in Donji Vakuf and the students had the opportunity to visit the plaster production facilities. This company is the leading producer of baked gypsum in this part of Europe, and the exclusive supplier for all producers of gypsum plasters (mortar) in the territory of Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
