How it started
Jugoplastika (1968–1992)
The »Galanterija« ('Haberdashery') and »Termoprerada kombinat« ('Thermal processing plant') plants in Split began in 1968 the production of interior car parts (door and roof linings, sunshades, thermoformed wallpapers, mats and seat protectors) for the Zavod Crvena Zastava (Kragujevac), Citroën, Renault, Fiat, Lada, Dacia and Volkswagen. In the early 1980s, the department in Muć began the production of metal haberdashery, and parts and accessories for motor vehicles were produced by the »Brizgalice« ('Syringes') plant from Solin, »Profili« ('Profiles') from Makarska, »Termooblikovanje« ('Thermoforming') from Split and »Obrada metala« ('Metal processing') from Muć and together they employ about 2,000 workers. In 1988, these plants separated into RO Jugoplastika – Autodijelovi.
AD Plastik
RO Autodijelovi was separated from Jugoplastika in 1992, and in 1994 it changed its name to the current one, and in 2001 it was privatized according to the model of employee shareholding. In the 2010s, the company employed 3,000 workers in factories in Solin, Zagreb, Luga and Tolyatti in Russia, Piteşti in Romania, Tiszaújváros in Hungary and Mladenovac in Serbia, producing panels for instruments, door linings, bumpers, decorative parts and static and dynamic seals. A smaller part of the production consists of different types of packaging for the food and pharmaceutical industry and injection molded products. Part of the production process is automated.
