Industrialization

We guarantee the accomplishment of high level quality regulations with deliberate planning and regular monitoring. We apply effective follow-up programmes for measuring and analysing of production processes and search for possibilities to increasing efficiency. Electronic, mechanic and pneumatic planning of production lines, assembly patterns, single-purpose machines and production layouts are implemented with state-of-the-art CAD softwares.

We facilitate factory innovations with documented processes controlled by our LEAN organisation. We analyse the production lines, according to which we create plans to increase efficiency. We follow the accomplished plans and achieved cost savings. Follow-up of automation of assembly processes, automated data collection and human resources are in focus. We reattach the information about scrap analysis to the production processes. We hold 5S audits monthly in order to maintain and develop production capacity and the conditions of production area.

Logistics

In favour of the smooth operation of the production we established a developed logistic infrastructure which is supported by smart solutions which are integrated into the logistic process. We control the inner raw material flow in a way that the components necessary for the production will be available in the proper time and quantity. So we have no need for expensive temporary warehouses. As a result of this, productivity can extend.  

  • 11,000 m2 warehouse storage capacity
  • 7,700 pallet storage capacity
  • 40 incoming trucks / week
  • 25 outgoing trucks / week
  • handling most incoterms from EXW to DDP for incoming and outgoing goods
