d) Industry Industry is economic activity that incorporates the greatest number of employees and performs highest export rate. Food and beverage industry represents most important industrial sector since it contributes 30% of total industrial products. The biggest manufacturer is KLAS factory dealing with pasta, flour, cakes, biscuits, tea cakes, final and semifinal products and medicinal herbs based teas. AKOVA IMPEX with meat processes and meat and fruit cold-storage plant then SARAJEVSKA PIVARA dealing with beer and beverages and MILCO'S manufacturing milk and milk products. Manufacturing of tobacco products is taking place in FABRIKA DUHANA SARAJEVO is second important industrial sector concerning its 24, 6% participation in total industrial products. Textile and leather production participates by the industrial product with 10.5%. KRAS factory producing kids ready-made clothes, and FABRIKA OBUĆE I GALANTERIJE SARAJEVO dealing with leather fancy articles. Besides, there is significant increment related to number of small companies involved in this activity. Printing and publishing with 5, 5% of total industrial production mostly is located in several companies. Still, there is high range of small firms supplying variety of services within this activity. Wooden industry incorporates manufacturing of cutter timber and plates as well as final wooden products such as furniture, windows, doors etc. This activity is mostly accomplished within facilities belonging to BJELAŠNICA, ŠIPAD ENTERIJER, STANDARD, HAZARTON, DALAS and some small firms. Participation of 4, 3% in total industrial product is notably decreased comparing it with pre-war period.

Car manufacturing in VW SARAJEVO started by the end of last year surely will represent the crucial encouragement to future industrial development and employment. Plants for bicycle manufacturing are located in UNIS LASTA factory.
Chemicals processing with BOSNALIJEK and FARMAVITA's pharmaceuticals facilities, SEMIKEM’s plants for diagnostic and cosmetic chemistry represents 19, 4% of total industrial product. BOSNALIJEK's newly opened drug plants will provide more important place for this industrial sector concerning its position within Sarajevo Canton economic structure. Metal processing industry represents 3% of total industrial product. Comparing with prewar period, production volume of this sector is rather minor mostly because of enormous war damages and partly, concerning the lost market. Sector includes manufacturing of metal constructions, containers, boilers (ENERGOINVEST) as well as wire and wire related products, air-conditioning and ventilation equipment, reservoirs and variety of chambers. Majority of metal processing capacities has taken place within big production systems that have being slowly revitalized after the war. Machinery and equipment production even being leading industrial branch in the country before the war, in this moment participates total industrial product only with 0, 05%. Successful revitalization of ENERGOINVEST's dominant highly-sophisticated production (high voltage breakers, switchers etc.) facilities, step by step will increase the participation of this industrial sector within economic structure. e) Construction industry participates the Canton's income with 8.3% it consisted of several big companies that have references for carrying out activities all over the world. HIDROGRADNJA, ŽGP, GP PUT, GP BOSNA are companies specialized for both civil engineering, high-rise buildings and projecting. Besides small companies such as BUTMIR, HOMING and others seem to be very prospective in the future.
