History

Public limited company for special works in construction BBR Conex was founded in 1996. The main founder and majority owner was BBR Holding Ltd. from Switzerland, and Croatian co-founder was Conex d.o.o. from Zagreb. BBR Conex d.d. changed its name to BBR Adria d.d. in September 2008, when BBR Holding Ltd. from Switzerland and BBR Adria's management increased their share in BBR Adria from 67% to 100% upon buying shares from Conex d.o.o. BBR Adria is a member of BBR group which is present in over 50 countries throughout the world. BBR pre-tensioning system has been present in Croatia for more than 40 years. Application of BBR system was initiated in former Yugoslavia back in 1967, when the company Geotehnika from Zagreb bought licence rights to the BBR system. Since then, several tens of thousands of tons of high-value wires and strands were used for building bridges, viaducts, overpasses, industrial plants, tanks, sport venues and other structures.

Application

BBR group's manner of work - with BBR Adria encompassing the territory of Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and other former Yugoslav countries - facilitates even better application of products and services within the BBR system in the said territory. Furthermore, BBR Adria works on introducing new products and services, in order to apply them in pre-tensioning of bridge structures, stay bridges, business facilities, industrial and sport venues, and ground anchoring. Pre-tensioning in building construction is a new field in the application of BBR Adria's products and services. Beginnings of application of flat monolithic slabs were recorded in the USA and Australia back in the 1950s. Application of this technology in Slovenia started in recent years, and BBR Adria (former BBR Conex) successfully completed its first project - pre-tensioning of flat slabs in the multi-storey garage within Brnik Airport near Ljubljana, in 2004. In 2006 and 2007, BBR Adria (former BBR Conex) won the golden medal "Prva hrvatska kuna" for highest achievements in business, and it was listed among top 1% of Croatian companies.
