After the ending of the bankruptcy proceedings and after making the company private, a new era in the working of the company started. The monthly production of 400 tons of wire products expended to monthly production of 1200 tons. This expansion is result of the vision for successful management of the company, as well as continues investments in the company. The basic interest of the company today is the production of wire products, by witch the company is well known at many markets in the Balkan Peninsula and in Europe.

This location of the production plants is not accidental, using of the benefits of the river transport are just one part of the vision and success of the company, in the effort to become serious Balkan leader in production of wire products. Today, BRAKO Holding is a leader in production of wire products in South Eastern Europe, with capacity of 3500 tons per month.

The company BRAKO is established back in 1947 in Veles, Macedonia. Although in the past 70 years BRAKO has grown into recognizable brand, well known by its quality and wide product range, the company is dedicated to further development by implementing new modern production technologies and innovative way of management.

With monthly production capacity of around 3000 tones, BRAKO is one of the largest producers of steel wire products in the region and further.
Initially Brako began to enter the part of street sweepers, so the BIOSTRADA program with the Italian partner was at the zenith in 2011. First started with the production of metal components - connected to the chassis and the sweeper container. Later - at the beginning of 2013, the complete setup of the whole sweeper began. The part with small sweeps – for city centers and environments - Green Machines (Austria) - started in 2016. Since the beginning of 2017, the complete production of this type of sweepers is transferred from Great Britain (Scotland) to Brako in Veles - Macedonia.
This part of the range of Brako’s products is specific because it’s continuously taking larger share in the total sales of the company. In this department, primarily significant are the medical helping devices as well as the medical furniture, the telecommunication equipment and the other types of projects on which the export of Brako in the western European countries is mainly based.
