About Us

Profile

Technological background, development
In the past decades a team of professional technicians was formed in our plant, that manages to solve even the most special and complicated tasks. The Zalaegerszeg Plant has a group of 24 qualified engineers. Complying with the customer demands we plan and build tools, produce even prototypes and high series of pressed metal parts.

Toolmaking
According to the customer requirements we design, manufacture and install the reqiured tool. In this process we are in continious contact with the customer to make the prototipes and modify the tool in order to meet the optimal performance. It is possible through the continuous development of our pool of 70 special machines and the knowledge of 30 years. We produce more than 300 tools per year in our tool workshop.

Mass production of metal parts
We are able to produce different kinds of metal parts made out of copper, aluminium, or steel with 0,2-2 mm thickness. More than 170 pressing machines and other equipment produces 10 million pieces of metal parts a day. Our pressing machines range from 1 to 100 tones. We are able to nickel plate and abrade the metals parts produced.
Our traditional products are lamp components.

In the field of lamp parts and components we have a wide range of products
The most progressive field of our production is the manufacturing of electrical components. We are able to satisfy the most demanding requirements such as complicated shapes, welding, threading and different surface treatments.

Environment awareness, quality
The top-level production is guaranteed by ISO 9001/2000 quality assurance system, and by ISO 14001 environmental standard.

Beside the international standards we grant the GE’s high level environmental and labour safety requirements. Accordingly our plant owns the Global Star certification, which is the most prestigoius acknowledgement in GE.
