The seat and production premises of DD SPECIAL VEHICLES d.d. are located in Slavonski Brod, town with approximately 60000 inhabitants, administrative and cultural centre of Brodsko-posavska County, located on the left bank of the river Sava, 200 km south east of Zagreb. The town has got very convenient geographical position and extraordinary communication links of all kinds.

Although situated in Slavonia, a typical agricultural area, Slavonski Brod is one of the more important industrial centres of Republic Croatia, with significant capacities in metal, wood processing industry, chemical industry and production of food. The experience in production of battle tank, as the most complex product in category of battle vehicles, has confirmed capability of our Company for dynamic interaction between our own know how and production potentials with know how and potential of other producers and research institutions, and has established all necessary requirements for the new world of productivity and efficiency, for implementation of quality assurance system, and the final integration and testing of the most complex systems, which all resulted in good product.

The new product lines in the last few years challenge our potentials for change, while introduction of new technologies in the field of mechanical engineering and electronics demonstrate our readiness for diversification, primarily towards specialized production services, metal machining and launching of new program of civil engineering machinery: excavators and wheel loaders.

The winds of change blowing lately in this part of Europe have brought the company, which represented significant part of the so called military industrial complex, to the threshold to initiate complex program of restructuring in the sense of introduction of new technologies, production programs and ownership restructuring. ĐĐ SV is in the initial stage of privatization process. ĐURO ĐAKOVIĆ HOLDING d.d. owns 99.5% of shares of our company, while the rest of 0.5% are owned by small shareholders -i.e. its own employees.
