ZAGREB, June 24, 2020 - The HEMCO company from the eastern town of Djakovo has been awarded an Allied Quality Assurance Publications (AQAP) quality management certificate, which was presented to company officials on Wednesday by Assistant Defence Minister Roman Mikulic.
Mikulic said the certificate meant that the company was entering the NATO family and expressed hope it would also be manufacturing equipment for NATO member-countries' forces in the future.
"Products of Croatian companies that produce equipment for the Croatian Army are all of top quality. The Defence Ministry and the Croatian Army strongly support the Croatian defense industry because we believe that our army is as strong as is our defense industry," said Mikulic.
HEMCO was established 28 years ago and employs more than 150 workers.
It manufactures combat uniforms, uniforms for pilots and tank squads, official uniforms and workwear, and safetywear.
