Dragan Huljak (born 1968) is a Kresimirian industrial executive and the Managing Director of Vokamet (Vokavska Metalurgija), the Cetingrad steel combine owned by Maj Holdings. A native of the Foundry District, he is the principal local spokesman for Maj capital in western Kresimiria — while strategic decisions remain with chairman Bran Maj in Polograd.
Career
Huljak trained as an industrial accountant at municipal night courses and joined Maj Logistics’ western desk in the mid-1990s, after privatisation had already placed the Combined yards under Maj ownership. He worked freight reconciliation between lake barges and Foundry District sidings, then moved into Vokamet’s cost-control office after the 1998 Steelworks Incident, when Polograd demanded tighter local reporting without relocating headquarters staff west.
He became Managing Director in 2014, succeeding an interim plant committee. Supporters in the Combined workforce credit him with keeping blast schedules stable during Silvija Bujan’s Northern Power mayoralty; critics call him a “payroll mayor” who appears at City Hall whenever environmental fines threaten dividends.
Relationship with Maj and Lujek
Huljak’s public style is deliberately local. He speaks Cetingrad dialect on TRK regional slots, wears Foundry District safety jackets at photo calls, and almost never shares a stage with Bran Maj. Correspondence published by Northfocus during the Red Shore litigation showed CapEx approvals routed to Maj Tower; Huljak’s signature covered only site-level overtime and municipal waiver applications.
During the 2022 mayoral election he endorsed Independent candidate Robert Lujek, arguing that Northern Power liability rules would “close the Combine.” After Lujek’s victory, Huljak became a regular guest at City Hall industrial roundtables — the plant face beside the municipal face of the same absentee ownership structure.
