Enterprise history
Metalka Majur Enterprise started its operations in 1986 (official date of operation start was January 8th, 1986), as a small handicraft workshop for manufacture of machine elements. The workshop has been established by Radosav Milenkovic, Graduate Engineer of Mechanical Engineering, in his own and his father’s household. The first works have been performed on a single universal lathe and single stand drill. The earnings have been invested into machines as well as the new, more spacious and better working area. Metalka Majur operated through Handicraft Association Vihor at that time, being its member as well.
Upon 2 years of operation, the enterprise had 10 workers employed, which was legal limit at that time. During the first five years, the workshop was solely engaged in manufacture of special tools and machines as well as services related to manufacture of machine parts.
In 1990, the workshop has been reregistered as Metalka Majur Enterprise Ltd (Limited Liability Company), when it started to manufacture PTT cable heads and electric installation accessories. Since then, the sudden development of the enterprise has been initiated. Metalka Majur has realized the cooperation with many scientific and technical institutions and laboratories, such as Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade, Faculty of Applied Arts from Belgrade, Joint Stock Company for Quality Control “Kvalitet” (Quality) from Nis, etc. The development department has also been founded within the enterprise; therefore the new products and technologies are constantly introduced.
In order to provide the stability of quality in the manufacture of its products, Metalka Majur has introduced and organized its operations according to ISO 9001 Quality System. The company obtained the Certificate for the introduced Quality System for the first time in 1996 by Federal Standardization Institute of Yugoslavia.
In 1991, the first production program of switches and receptacles (socket outlets) (“Apolo”) was launched. Nowadays, it is the most important business segment of the enterprise. In the years to come, Metalka Majur offers large number of the new programs for switches and receptacles.
Upon market research, being organized each year on the territory of Serbia, Metalka Majur has emerged to the leading position in 2004, with regard to the manufacture and sales of electrical goods in Serbia, whereas the market share percentage is increased from year to year.
