Abstract: Manufacturing industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) represents the basis of economic development of the country. However, this sector in our country operates under very difficult conditions, without adequately designed systems to support its development by the public sector. Without strong support by the public sector, development of entrepreneurial ecosystems advances considerably slower. Lacking an adequate support, the Sector of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSME) has been brought into an unequal position as compared to the competition from other countries that have systemically regulated support and incentive for development and export through the established support structures. Despite all the difficulties, the opportunities to establish the conditions for dynamic support to development of manufacturing industry are being identified today, through state and administrative incentive measures, and development of entrepreneurial ecosystem in BiH, too. During economic transition, major part of manufacturing capacities has stopped working; however, in some areas having the tradition of manufacturing, trades and small handicraft business, the production is flourishing today. One of such areas in BiH is Municipality of Tešanj. Production sector in this area is characterized by export-oriented MSMEs, amongst which there is a significant degree of cooperation at both local and regional levels. The production of a considerable number of companies in Municipality of Tešanj is based on the use of new technologies that enable the quality, flexibility and innovation in production. This article provided a summary of the key factors related to the competitiveness of the metalworking sector in Tešanj Municipality as identification of gap analysis for that sector. The article is intended to provide a detailed model of production and export chains in BiH from metal made products stressed on automotive industry.
