Boxmark to create 400 new jobs in Lukavac next year
Leather manufacturer Boxmark will invest 13 million Bosnia and Herzegovina convertible marks (BAM/KM), approximately €6.65 million, in its Lukavac facility next year.
The company plans to expand its machinery park, increase production capacity and hire 400 new workers from January 2026, according to a statement from the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The company, which is part of a global group with operations in Austria, Mexico, Argentina, Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, currently employs 860 people in Lukavac and produces around 650 sets per day.
Federal minister of labour and social policy, Adnan Delic, visited the site to discuss the planned expansion and review training processes for new employees. He said Boxmark was a positive example of long-term investment and job preservation.
The ministry also highlighted the company’s decision to retain 160 workers despite a temporary lull in orders, allocating 360,000 BAM/KM (around €184,000) per month to cover salaries until production ramps up again.
