The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) is getting another company that will engage in the production of explosives.
It is the company Interpromet from Vitez, which has long been involved in the trade of explosives but has decided to enter the production process as well.
The company owns a land complex in Vitez where warehouses are located for the storage and trade of explosive substances. The complex of eight explosive substance warehouses is connected to the M5 highway by a local road.
The company has decided to start its own production at this location, within the existing facilities.
Namely, it will produce the explosive mixture AN-01 (ANFO + oil). The production of the explosive mixture will take place in a compact plant.
ANFO explosives belong to the group of explosive mixtures that are not sensitized by some monomolecular explosives. Ammonium nitrate, due to its low sensitivity to impact, friction, and fire, is increasingly used as an industrial explosive in combination with oil in a ratio of approximately 95% ammonium nitrate and approximately 5% oil (to increase sensitivity).
Due to its very low sensitivity, it is used as a stable industrial explosive, and as long as it is not in contact with initiating agents, it is not hazardous to the environment and the safety of personnel.
The owner of the Interpromet company is Marin Nakic. The company has annual revenues of over 4 million BAM (according to data for the year 2022).
