History and tradition
Continuously following new trends in the field of fire protection, today Pastor TVA produces devices filled with powder and CO2, as well as increasingly popular devices filled with more environmentally friendly water-based extinguishing agents (water/foam). The entire range of fire extinguishers ranges from 1 to 100 kg, and according to the design, Pastor appliances can be under continuous pressure or with a bottle.
Mr. Srećko Pastor founds a workshop for the repair of fire extinguishers, and soon after he founds the first factory for the production of fire extinguishers.

The factory is nationalized and continues to operate as a City Company for the production of fire extinguishers and accessories, with approximately 60 employees.
The company changes its name to Tvornica Votrogasnih Aparata (Fire Extinguisher Factory), which it still bears today.
Due to its accelerated development and increase in the scope of production, a new factory is built on Selska Street in Zagreb. That is when the production of stable automatic installations, new fire engines, and other firefighting equipment begins.

Pastor is privatized and divided into two completely independent parts: Pastor – TVA d. d. with its headquarters in Selska Street and Pastor inženjering d. d. with its headquarters in Rakitje. Pastor – TVA continues to produce fire extinguishers and other related devices, while Pastor engineering focuses on the design and implementation of fire protection systems such as the installation of sprinkler systems, the design and installation of foam and gas extinguishing systems, fire alarms, and gas detection systems.
The company is taken over by the current owners.

Motivated and technically competent employees are Pastor TVA Production Departments’ greatest asset and provide an immeasurable comparative advantage. In addition to the above, our value is also preserved in our “technical memory” through the technical and technological documentation of the products that were developed and realized over the course of the past eighty years.
Pastor TVA’s production department is divided into several basic organizational units: production preparation (stamping), the container line, the plastification line, circuit assembly, and the final assembly line (final testing of devices and their contents).
In addition to the development and technological supervision of production, the technical office also offers technical consulting services to customers, primarily in the form of assistance in choosing a suitable device with regard to its purpose, and in the possible adaptation of the device’s construction and design to the user’s specific needs. Technical advice is available to customers at any time – before and after purchasing the device.
