What RADEZ D.D. does
RADEZ D.D. (RADEŽ d.d.) is a Croatian joint-stock company founded in 1954 and headquartered in Blato on the island of Korčula, Croatia. The company designs and manufactures custom steel and aluminum ship equipment, large port crane structures, and complete vessels for shipyards, port terminal operators, cruise line operators, nautical tourism operators, and aquaculture companies worldwide. RADEZ operates as a B2B project manufacturer with a documented customer base spanning Europe, the United States, Norway, Iceland, Algeria, and India, including tier-1 names such as Konecranes, Fincantieri, DP World, MacGregor, TTS Marine, and Chantiers de l'Atlantique.
The company's production backbone consists of two specialized facilities: the Blato headquarters with two parallel halls (350m x 20m and 350m x 16m, 5–40T bridge cranes, sandblasting and painting halls) and the Bristva site 8 km away, featuring a 60m portal gantry crane with 2x75T + 2x15T capacity, 25m lifting height, and 30m sea clearance for assembly and testing of large-dimension equipment. A new Ploče site under Port Authority concession extends capacity for port crane assembly. Core manufacturing capabilities include CAD design, CNC plasma and propan-butane cutting, welding, turning, bending, assembly, sandblasting, and painting, with continuous quality inspection at every stage.
RADEZ generates revenue through project-based, custom-built contracts with no public pricing. Revenue streams are: (1) custom ship equipment manufacturing (hatches, RO-RO equipment, ramps, decks, watertight/gastight doors, port cranes), (2) newbuilding vessels (steel hulls with aluminum superstructures for nautical tourism, aquaculture work boats, and yachts), and (3) industrial equipment manufacturing (vacuum autoclaves for transformer/generator maintenance, port crane main girders for OEMs like Konecranes). The company holds EN ISO 9001:2008 certification, is known for centuries-old shipbuilding tradition on Korčula, and operates with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or public listing. Ownership structure is not publicly disclosed.
