You have to call it "the former Enco" now.

I have stacks of good Yugoslavian taps and dies (many years old) and they are every bit as good as those from Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic). As long as they use good steel, the grinding is cook-book for practically anyone these days.

I have many customers in Bosnia and Serbia who make very good products, 99% of which are never seen this side of the Atlantic.

Many of these 'Eastern European' countries where the homes of the quality machine shops that fed the Soviet Union.

Look where many good firearms are made (Cz)..

Anyone out there ever use a TOS lathe?

And let none of us overlook the home of Semtex
Too many things going on to bother listing them.
