Processes under one roof
Stamping and forming
Mechanical, transfer and servo presses from 100 to 630 t, for small series and high volumes.
- Classic stamping
- Transfer and servo pressing
- Deep drawing
Welding
Spot, MIG, MAG and circumferential welding of steel assemblies, on 4 circumferential welding machines and 3 manual setups.
- Circumferential welding
- Manual welding
Assembly
We assemble parts and sub-assemblies into complete, ready-to-use products, on 6 automatic and 5 manual assembly lines.
- Automatic assembly
- Manual assembly
Injection moulding
Plastic parts in PA, PP, PU, PE and TPE on 9 injection moulding machines up to 350 t, one of them for 2K moulding.
- Thermoplastic injection moulding (PA, PP, PU, PE, TPE)
- 2K injection moulding
Surface treatment
Cr6+-free zinc electroplating with passivation on a rack line and a barrel line, and powder coating. We also plate and coat steel parts that customers send us.
- Zinc electroplating and passivation
- Powder coating
Trimming and edge forming
Trimming, rolling and curling of pressed parts to final dimension. Laser-cut blanks and CNC machining we buy in from partners when a part needs them.
- Trimming
- Rolling
- Curling
Split supply chains
What goes wrong when every step has its own supplier
- Parts travel between press shop, welder, plater and assembler
- Each transport adds cost and days
- Quality problems are hard to trace back to one supplier
- Delays at one subcontractor stop the whole chain
One plant
What one plant changes
- Pressing, welding, moulding, plating, coating and assembly in Postojna
- No transport between process steps
- One quality system (ISO 9001) and one contact
- Shorter lead time from coil to finished part
Machine park by process
The machines and their limits per process. If your part fits inside these figures, we can make it in Postojna.
Parts we make
Quality control
Parts are inspected at each production step, and new products are tested in our own lab before series production.
Inspection
Inspection at every stage of production, under our ISO 9001 quality system.
Testing
Our lab tests durability and strength under conditions that copy real use, indoors and outdoors.
- Test setups for the required standards (EN 840-5, RAL-GZ 951/1 and others)
- Salt spray chamber (ISO 9227)
Simulation
Before a new part goes to tooling, FEM simulation predicts how it will behave under load, so the design can be adjusted first.
- Finite element method (FEM) analysis
From drawing to series production
Step 1
Drawing and quantities
You send us the idea or drawing, the quantities and the timeline. Our engineers prepare the CAD model and point out anything that would make the part hard to press, weld or plate.
Step 2
Prototype
When the CAD model is approved, we make a prototype, with laser-cut blanks from a partner where needed, and check it against your requirements.
Step 3
Prototype approval
You test the prototype. We correct what needs correcting before any tool is built.
Step 4
Tooling and process
After approval we design the tools and the production flow, planned for cycle time, material yield and cost.
Step 5
Trial series
A trial series from the series tools validates the process and the part before full production.
Step 6
Series production
The part goes into series production on the approved tools and process.
What do you need from us?
01
You have an idea or a drawing and need a supplier to develop and produce the metal part.
02
You want an existing part changed for new specifications, lower cost or easier production.
03
A second source or new supplier
You need a supplier for a part that is already in production, with steady quality and delivery.
Why OEMs work with us
One plant
Pressing, welding, moulding, plating, coating and assembly on one site in Postojna.
Certified quality
Quality management to ISO 9001 and environmental management to ISO 14001, with inspection at each production step.
Prototype to series in weeks
Short lines between design, toolmaking and production let us move from a first idea to series parts in weeks.
Engineers who speak to engineers
Your engineers talk directly to ours about drawing, tolerance and process.
Cost per part
Each process is planned to save time, energy and material on your order.
70 years of pressing
We have formed steel for castors, wheels and rims since 1954.
