Summary:
Croatian small family business engaged in production of quality small vessels also offers design, manufacturing and product measurement and validation of custom-made equipment and construction parts. In production, a 5-axes CNC machine is suitable to process soft materials like plastics etc and the experienced team of engineers can design and deliver custom-made products that can be used in other industries. The company is looking for partners in automotive industry for manufacturing agreements.
Description:
The company was established in 2008 with the purpose of producing small boats.
First boat had a great success on domestic market because of perfect balance of price and quality, it was a good value for money. The boat was presented on several boat and nautical shows and fairs in Croatia and won some of the prestigious awards. That success was the motivation for the new line of slightly smaller boats reduced masses and excellent aerodynamic properties for fast sports and recreational activities at sea.
In 2011, due to the need to make new moulds for the redesign of boats, the company produced a 5-axis CNC machine specifically made to fit their needs. 5 Axis machining implies that a workpiece can be automatically manipulated from five sides at one time. In addition to automatic movements along the X, Y, and Z axes, 5 axis CNC machines can select two of the three rotational axes (A,B,C) to use. Those properties enabled them to offer their services to other industries that needed specific material processing including automotive industry
During the years, they improved their competencies in machining and modelling and properties of the machine enabled them to offer their services to other industries that needed specific material. Now the company's portfolio includes design and production of control tools for car glass, design and production of prototype and control tools (fastening check) in the automotive industry, as well as 5-axis CNC machining.
Their skills, experience, motivation and desire for growth and improvement steered them towards the automotive industry and EU market. For last seven years, they been engaged in automotive industry and the previous year was very difficult for the economy, but the company also saw an opportunity for progress and mange to employ new experts.
The company is recognized on the domestic market for the quality production of prototype components for further serial production. The prototypes are mainly made of quality polyurethane blocks from German suppliers and those blocks are optimal for modelling, toolmaking, moulds, stencils and for the production of many other industrial applications. In that way, the domestic market is limited source of potential clients/costumers/partners and the company has the ambition and knowledge to expand its production to EU market.
The company is looking for partners in area of body parts in the automotive industry or other industries to cooperate under the manufacturing agreement.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
The company is looking for partners in automotive industry (and others) that need custom made equipment and body parts for their constructions. Those partnerships could include manufacturing, but also product, fixture and mould design and solution.
Looking for long-term partnerships under the manufacturing agreement.
From the partners is expected to have clear and concise inputs and to be involved into the production process, in order to reduce the risk in production to the lowest possible level.
