our goals and expectations are high. We have learned a lot throughout our history and we carefully forged the lessons learned into our operations and business relationships. We are aware that commitment to new challenges is what drives our company forward. We shall stay on the course that was mapped out by the needs of our partners, ecological consciousness, and care for the employees.

This will be attained by placing great stress on knowledge and development of our services, child-like inquisitiveness and playfulness in the search for solutions to the challenges brought on by our partners, and our strong belief that continuous development, investment into employees, and care for the environment are the best companions on our journey.

every particle counts. every particle is equally important. Together, they add up to a guarantee of our persisting success in the future.

Use of top-quality granulated plastics in the injection moulding process, an array of reliable and flexible tool-making partners, years of experience, and our flexibility allow us to carry out even the most challenging and complex projects. our expert employees control the processes for compliance with the standards of optimization and maximum yield in terms of time and material. from processing basic thermoplastics to more complex polycarbonates, polyamides, or linear polyesters.

SinGle-ComponenT ConTinUoUS moUlDinGSingle-component injection moulding is managed in all project stages. furthermore, additional services are included to provide a comprehensive solution for our partners. in the process, glass fibres or additives can be used to the input material to make the product fire-proof, UV-stable, or heat-resistant.

Bi-ComponenT ConTinUoUS moUlDinGSimultaneous injection of two different materials allows creating products with

new properties, especially products with improved durability and strength. We are particularly successful in combining plastics with metal or glass.

introducing gas into the injection moulding process allows creating hollows in the products. This reduces costs, provides faster cooling and more rapid production process, and it is an ideal solution to reduce the thickness of product walls.

our business success allows us to plan our steps far ahead. We are about to expand our manufacturing operations to a new location – even more fitting to the daily dynamics required by the laws of the market. adjusting to customer demand will be even easier and our response and flexibility further enhanced.

We concentrate on new materials as we pursue our corporate philosophy of environment protection and the global trend of biodegradable plastics. We believe we are entering an era in which all input materials are biodegradable and reusable.

Highly functional building design will allow optimum connections between all processes at the company. anticipated shift date: october 2013.

enVironmenTWe strive not to burden the environment. looking to consolidate the confidence of our customers, we introduced the environmental management system according to the international standard iSo 14001:2004. now, our efforts are geared towards obtaining the iSo 50001 standard. in order to reduce our environmental impact as much as possible, we have committed to rational use of electric energy, noise control, and care for continuous improvement to the environmental management system.

Special care is paid to raising the awareness of our youngest as we believe that a keen sense for the preservation of nature should be nurtured from an early age on. We work with kindergartens to show the children how care for the nature and waste separation are essential for preservation of the environment in which we live.

SOCIETYWe are aware of our company’s effect on the environment in which we operate. We seek involvement in the projects that affect the long-term development of the region, and the projects focused on providing aid to those in need. Special care is paid to the children as we, consistently with our vision, communicate our message of protection of nature and care for a clean environment.
