Supporting Technical Education

In June 2024, we learned that Brač High School, which offers an automotive mechanics program, was in need of support. The school lacked essential machining equipment, forcing students—some of whom compete in machining competitions—to travel to Split for training. This meant taking a ferry from Brač to Split just to access the necessary tools.

Since we did not have any machines available for decommissioning, we decided to purchase a used CNC lathe specifically for donation.

The machine was delivered in September 2024 and successfully commissioned by our employees and collaborators, who also provided hands-on training sessions for both teachers and students.
