The 11^th International fair of armaments and defence equipment, PARTNER 2023, was held September 25^th through 28^th of 2023.

This year's event was carried out under the auspices of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Serbia and Jugoimport - SDPR. Over 150 national and foreign exhibitors took part in this year's exhibition. The Fair was officially opened by the Minister of Defense and Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia, Miloš Vučević.

According to tradition, among home exhibitors, HK Krušik exhibited its products in the central hall of the Fair building complex. During the fair, Krušik's stand was visited by a large number of domestic and foreign business delegations and a significant number of meetings were held with the Management of HK Krušik.

The goal of the participation of HK "Krušik" at this Fair was to present innovations in the production program, to establish existing and make new business contacts as well as to support the development and strengthening of the Defense Industry of Serbia.

The first day of the Fair, the modernized stand of HK Krušik was visited by Christopher Robert Hill, the American diplomat and ambassador of the United States of America in Serbia, the mayor of the city of Valjevo, Lazar Gojković, as well as numerous diplomatic delegations.

The meeting with the Chinese company NORINCO was of extreme significance for HK Krušik and on that occasion a contract was concluded for the delivery of materials of strategic importance for our production.

During the Exhibition, a panel on modern trends in the defense industry was held, at which our Company showcased the presentation “Company KRUŠIK Valjevo - on the way to industry 4.0”. The key topics included the installation of a solar power plant and the use of geothermal water sources, as well as solutions for increasing safety, quality and production by introducing robot hands. The project we are currently working on in cooperation with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade, the robotic welding solving, received good reviews.
