June 2025 – Virginia Beach, VA, USA / Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina — Regulus Global LLC, a U.S.-based defense and logistics firm headquartered in Virginia Beach, is submitting a proposal for a $100 million USD strategic investment in Pretis d.d., a key defense manufacturer located in Vogošća, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Regulus Global currently holds a 41.35% ownership stake in Pretis d.d., while the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina remains the majority shareholder with 51% ownership.

Strategic Investment Plan Overview

The proposed investment is structured to be implemented over a three-year period (2026–2028) and focuses on significantly enhancing Pretis d.d.’s production capacity, technological sophistication, and global competitiveness.

The plan includes modernization of forging and heat treatment facilities, expansion of in-house explosive filling capabilities, deployment of automated material handling systems, and implementation of advanced digital tools including ERP, IoT platforms, and blockchain-based traceability solutions. These upgrades are designed to support production targets of up to 1 million artillery shells annually, with dual capability for both 152mm and 155mm calibers.

Economic and Strategic Impact

This investment is expected to generate a substantial number of direct and indirect employment opportunities across a range of sectors, including manufacturing, engineering, IT, logistics, and construction. It will also provide long-term career pathways and training opportunities in advanced manufacturing for the regional workforce.

Pretis d.d.’s transformation through this program is expected to position Bosnia and Herzegovina as a competitive defense manufacturing hub in Southeast Europe. By meeting NATO standards and scaling production, the country will strengthen its role in international supply chains, expand its export footprint, and attract continued foreign investment into the industrial sector.

Commitment to Transparency and Collaboration

As this is a proposed investment plan, its execution will require the agreement and participation of the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which holds majority ownership of Pretis d.d. Regulus Global is fully committed to transparent planning, equitable partnership, and ongoing dialogue with all relevant government entities. The company looks forward to collaboratively aligning its strategic goals with those of the Federation and ensuring that the investment delivers lasting economic and national security benefits.
