From a destroyed workshop to a modern factory

30 years Salkanović Tišleraj, since 1996

A family story since 1996

Salkanović Tišleraj grew out of the joint work of Nijaz and Elnada Salkanović. They took their first steps in 1996, making wooden windows and doors, and step by step built a business that became an important part of our family's life.

Growing up alongside the business, we learned the value of hard work, patience and responsibility for what you make. Today we, their children, are part of the family story too. We continue what our parents started, combining their experience with new ideas.

For us, every space and every customer has its own story. That is why we listen to your wishes, understand what you need and approach every job with care, from the first conversation to the final detail.

Our family name stands on every product we make. It reminds us of where we started and of our responsibility to everyone who places their trust in us.

Our first CNC machining centre: the move from craft to industrial production begins. In these years their children, Mirela and Elvedin, are also working in the plant. The second generation learned the business on the shop floor, not in the office.
