The company donated funds for reconstruction of Vukovar water tower that was almost destroyed in 90’s during Croatian War of Independence.

We are proud to donate this technology which will preserve Vukovar’s monument for all generations to come. This symbol of one of the most destructive wars in modern history is warning that it must never happen again.”
