Our Values
We’re a family-owned business, and that shows in how we work. We focus on doing things responsibly, treating people fairly, and building long-term partnerships. Whether we’re running a manufacturing company or investing alongside others, trust and alignment guide the way we operate.
Our Hertiage
We started in the early 1990s with hands-on industrial manufacturing in Bosnia — producing protective garments and automotive components. Since then, we’ve grown step by step into a group that invests and operates across sectors. Our journey is defined by practical know-how, resilience and long-term commitment. What began in a small workshop is now a platform that spans industries and countries, always led by the same entrepreneurial drive.
Global Reach
From our headquarters in Europe to portfolio companies spanning 12 countries, Prevent Group operates on a global scale. We invest where we see potential and act locally to empower teams, strengthen operations, and unlock regional value. Our footprint spans developed and emerging markets across manufacturing hubs, tech ecosystems, and frontier investment landscapes.
