„Assemblers of the Century“ – the Story of 100 years of Đuro Đaković Montaže

As part of the program marking the 100th anniversary of Đuro Đaković Montaža, the exhibition “Monteri stoljeća – 100 godina Đuro Đaković Montaže” (“Assemblers of the Century – 100 Years of Đuro Đaković Montaža”) has opened at the Museum of Brodsko Posavlje in Slavonski Brod, celebrating a century of development, expertise and togetherness.

Through archival materials, photographs, documents and objects from Montaža’s rich history, the exhibition presents key milestones in the company’s development and its most significant projects – from bridges, energy facilities, thermal power plants and refineries to complex industrial structures across different continents.

Yet the exhibition is not only about projects. At its heart are the people – generations of assemblers, workers and engineers whose knowledge, experience, responsibility and sense of togetherness built Montaža’s name and reputation.

“When we began thinking about how to mark our company’s 100th anniversary, we did not want to simply celebrate a major milestone. We wanted to tell a story. And the story of Montaža is not just a story about a company, its projects and business achievements – it has always been a story about people,” was highlighted at the opening.

For decades, Montaža was much more than a place where people worked. It was part of the life of Slavonski Brod and the surrounding area, closely connected to numerous families and generations. This exhibition therefore also represents an important contribution to preserving the city’s industrial heritage, as well as a reminder of the lasting impact generations of employees have made in Croatia and around the world.

The anniversary program will be rounded off in the coming months with the publication of a monograph on Đuro Đaković Montaža, serving as a lasting testament to the people, projects and legacy of the company.

The exhibition is open until October 7, 2026, and admission is free.
