Besides manufacture of domestic electrical appliances, the manufacture in Croatia of electrical and optical equipment also includes manufacture of office machinery and computers, manufacture of electrical machinery and appliances, manufacture of radio/television sets and communication equipment and devices, manufacture of medical, precision and optical instruments, watches and clocks.
The electrical and optical equipment industry imports most of the raw materials and basic manufacturing components. This branch of industry, like many other branches of Croatian industry, faces technological obsolescence.
However, there are experts, qualified workers and good programmes that put certain segments of this industry on a par with developed countries (manufacture of transformers, manufacture of telecommunication devices, etc).
