BSIP

What BSIP does

BSIP d.o.o. is a Sarajevo-based engineering and consulting agency operating globally from Bosnia and Herzegovina, running three distinct business lines that share enterprise client relationships and operational infrastructure. Its core intellectual property services arm provides patent prosecution, trademark and design registration, IP analytics, portfolio management, landscape analysis, valuation, Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) studies, licensing support, and litigation research for Fortune 500 clients. The second line operates as an authorized distributor/reseller for Creality, Prusa Research, WASP, and Artillery 3D printers, selling across four configuration tiers (KIT, PRO, ULTIMATE, COMPANY) that bundle equipment with installation, training, and ongoing maintenance. The third arm operates as the first Lean Robot System Integrator in Bosnia and Herzegovina through a Universal Robots partnership, delivering turnkey collaborative robotics solutions for palletizing, welding, picking, tending, and inspection.

Revenue mechanics combine professional services fees (IP prosecution and integration projects), one-time hardware sales (3D printers and consumables such as filaments and resins), and recurring support contracts (training, maintenance, aftermarket service). Distribution is executed primarily through direct sales with a small e-commerce channel via OLX.ba for 3D printers; IP and integration services are sold via relationship-based enterprise engagement. BSIP has been ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified since 2018 — a relevant credential when handling confidential IP and R&D data from multinational clients — and is led by CEO Edin Skaljic, a mechanical engineer with two decades of experience. The firm serves a hybrid customer base spanning enterprise IP clients (e.g., Aptar Group, GS TMT, QualityCert) and domestic SMB and consumer buyers of 3D printing equipment across approximately 15 employees, with named supporting partners Creality, Prusa Research, WASP, Artillery, Universal Robots, and FabLab Sarajevo.
