BNT-TMiH, an artillery systems manufacturer headquartered in Novi Travnik, has entered into a high-value export agreement that is set to drive a notable increase in production volumes.

According to company information, the contract covers the supply of artillery systems and related equipment to a foreign customer. While the company has not disclosed the financial value or delivery schedule, officials indicated that the scale of the agreement exceeds previous contracts in recent decades.

Preparations for implementation are already underway. The manufacturer has begun aligning its production lines with anticipated demand, including securing inputs and coordinating with suppliers. Management signaled that the workload associated with the contract will likely require additional hiring and extended production cycles.

BNT-TMiH is known for its portfolio of heavy artillery systems, including howitzers and associated components, and remains one of the key industrial actors in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s defense sector. The company builds on legacy Yugoslav-era manufacturing capabilities, which continue to support exports to a range of international markets.

The agreement reflects sustained global demand for artillery platforms, particularly among countries seeking to modernize ground forces or replenish inventories. Manufacturers in Southeast Europe have remained relevant in this segment due to their ability to produce cost-effective systems compatible with widely used calibers.

Further details regarding the end-user, export approvals, and delivery timelines have not been made public.
