Australia / Bosnia and Herzegovina - 28 August 2026 Syncorana Group ("Syncorana") of Australia and Steco Centar ("Steco") of Bosnia and Herzegovina are pleased to announce the execution of a landmark Joint Venture Agreement to establish Steco (Australia) Pty Ltd, a new company that will introduce high-quality prefabricated homes in Australia and Oceania. The partnership combines Syncorana's strategic vision for Indigenous economic development including housing manufacture and building and workforce training with Steco's thirty years of experience in the design and manufacture of prefabricated housing systems. The joint venture represents a significant step towards establishing an advanced manufacturing facility capable of supporting Australia's growing demand for affordable, sustainable and high-quality housing solutions. The new facility is designed to create highly skilled jobs, strengthen sovereign manufacturing capability and support long-term industry growth. Under the agreement, the parties intend to establish a local manufacturing operation at an estimated cost of around AU$150 million capable of scaling to produce three thousand prefabricated homes per annum using advanced European manufacturing technology adapted to Australian standards and market requirements. A distinguishing feature of the proposed Australian facility will be the inclusion of Syncorana's registered training organisation - Living Planit/Dreamtime Institute of Training and Management - designed to become a national centre of training excellence for prefabricated construction, advanced manufacturing and modern building techniques. The integrated training facility is intended to support the development of a highly skilled Indigenous and non-Indigenous workforce capable of manufacturing, assembling and installing prefabricated building systems for the Australian market. The venture will seek to supply a broad range of construction markets including residential housing, Indigenous affordable and social housing, early childhood learning and aged care centres, workforce accommodation and commercial developments. It complements Syncorana's Indigenous housing strategy planned for implementation via its national network of Indigenous partnerships. Steco (Australia) also intends to collaborate with strategic partners, government, institutional investors, developers and builders and community housing providers to expand the use of prefabricated construction systems throughout Oceania. This initiative will assist in addressing Australia's housing supply challenges while contributing to national economic development and increasing participation by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the construction and manufacturing sectors.
