Through years of work and experience in solving construction and production problems, more and more science has been incorporated into products and processes. Increasingly, self-developed electronics, a development laboratory, computer programs, and computer-aided informatics and organizations were used. At the end of the 60's, the" Research and Development" unit was established, and at the end of the 70's, the "Jugoturbine Institute". The development of basic products remained in the working organizations for the production of steam turbines, engines and pumps, but more and more laboratories, computer capacities, development and investment engineers were concentrated in the Institute, which reached 330 employee's in the mid-1980s.

The Assembly of the Complex Company at its session held on November 16, 1990. made a decision on the termination of the Complex Company, explaining this decision by the bankruptcy of the Steam Turbine Factory, the announcement of the bankruptcy of the Pump Factory and the absence of any business concept that would justify the reasons for the existence of SP Jugoturbina. 12/17/1990 With its decision, the District Commercial Court in Karlovac opened the liquidation procedure at the company Jugoturbina. After the opening of liquidation, some of its companies continue to operate as fully independent companies. One of the independent companies is Adriadiesel, which still operates successfully today.

The employees of Jugoturbina had habits and needs as well as opportunities for very developed forms of sports and social life, rest and recreation. The governing bodies financially supported all forms of sports and recreation. Jugoturbina's sports teams were leaders in many disciplines. At the same time, Jugoturbina employees actively participated in various sports, recreation and other activities in city organizations. It is especially important to single out the organization of rest and recreation of workers at sea. Jugoturbina owned resorts on Bobovište on the island of Brač and in Pirovac. Later, a resort on Krk was built.

The work process in Jugoturbina required educated profiled workers, who then came from all parts of the country. A large number of young people were educated to work in Jugotubina and live in Karlovac. Most of them were separated from their parents and were forced to solve their housing problem in Karlovac. With the construction of the factory, the Švarča settlement was built, which partially met the needs of the first workers who arrived. Single hotels were the only accommodation for young workers including whole families. Within the framework of housing programs, funds have been provided for the construction of 100 apartments.

Education as one of the most important determinants of the factory's survival was incomplete without a complete concept, with an insufficient number and uncoordinated structure of employees. For a example is the fact that in times of financial crisis, the company employed 35 graduate mechanical engineers, which was still insufficient given the volume of production. Due to the need for workers, a comprehensive and comprehensive program of support for education and engagement of workers has been defined.

The "Edvard Kardelj" steam turbine factory recently received orders from Turkey for the delivery of 700 diesel irrigation units. The centrifugal pump, the manufacturer's product, gives 800 liters of water per minute at a height of 25 meters, which can indicate quite large plots of land.

In the early 1970s, Yugoturbina had major known financial and development difficulties. We will list the most important ones:
- Technologically complex production and unfinished investment to meet the needs of domestic and foreign markets.
- Impossibility of obtaining permanent working capital for the production of materials of appropriate quality and deadlines.
- Lack of long-term loans from commercial banks to lend to its customers.
- Constant shortage of foreign currency for the necessary procurement of imported materials and parts.
- Underdeveloped production of parts and materials from domestic industry.
- Underdeveloped sale of their products, processing of foreign markets, export and import.

Establishes development policy in the following directions:
- Organizes offer bureaus that process offers for the placement of engine and pump turbines with production.
- Develops export and import business functions.
- Organizes financing of operations with banks and funds.
- Develops programs of new products and components and provides funds for construction.
- Niederlasung was founded and it opened service works in Germany.
- Provides construction sites, projects and leads the organization of construction and supervision.

"The construction of the first ship turbine with a capacity of 420 horsepower will soon be completed at the "Edvard Kardelj" factory in Karlovac.

Soon it will begin a production of 250-kilowatt backpressure turbines, which are now under design."
