the Light Project 2018-LPP1-010 = Metal is our passion –’T’ straight line will be implemented.
Project partners: ZEUS Exhausts Kft. - ZGR Kovačić
Project duration: 1/5/2019 – 31/10/2020
Total project budget: € 320,030.79
EU co-financing: € 240,225.59
Project goal:
The project partners have recognized the necessity of co-operation and a new product offering in the market of the furniture industry. ZEUS Kft. has developed the special metal profile “T straight line” for furniture manufacturing within the scope of the joint project. By using this profile, distortion of table surfaces made of solid wood of 2-3m2 in size can be averted.
By integrating the “T straight line” element, the original manufacturing parameters and the aesthetic appearance of the tables can be preserved under any climatic and various humidity condition. Within the scope of the project partnership, the company ZGR Kovačić applies a new technology for chrome-plating of metal parts for the furniture industry. The trivalent chromium technology is a novelty in the Croatian market.
The product, which has been developed together, has become an essential component in manufacturing solid wood furniture.
Project activities:
Serial production of “T straight line” is based upon technological developments which require the procurement of various implements by both project partners. ZEUS Exhausts Kft. will purchase punch presses. They will be installed in the new production hall which will be constructed within the scope of the project. ZGR Kovačić will change its chrome plating technique. This is considered the best available technology (BAT) – the new generation of trivalent chromium plating. As a result of the new finish, the aesthetic quality of the products will be improved. During the new process of electroplating, air pollution will be reduced and hexavalent chromium will completely disappear from waste water, thus complying with the regulations of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
Result:
Through the innovations, both partners will increase their productivity along with savings in electricity consumption and a decrease in the costs of waste management. The working environment will be improved, whereby workplaces with a higher level of occupational safety can be created for the employees.

Title of the project: IT development at ZEUS Exhausts Kft.
The amount of grant as stipulated in the contract: HUF 11,077,600
Extent of funding: 40%
Description of the contents of the project:
Size and course of operations of the company have reached a level which does not allow the management of its external and internal processes any more without modern integrated IT systems at an adequate speed and with adequate transparency. One of the essential opportunities for improving operating efficiency is to use a modern ERP system which provides a uniform framework for the courses of operations of the company. The circumstances at our company and its dynamic development require the introduction of a uniform IT system, according to today’s expectations, instead of the existing island-like applications.
The MobilSzla ERP System, developed and distributed by the company Rooter Fejlesztő Kft., has been introduced within the scope of the project. During the implementation of the project, the experts of the company evaluated the current business processes, elaborated the necessary procedures and functionalities and carried out the installation as well as interface adaptation of the system. Following the creation of a database and the database migration, the users received all necessary information about the use of the system in training sessions.
The ERP system introduced covers almost every field of the company operations. It manages the customers, sales, purchases, logistics, stock-keeping, and manufacturing. It gives information to the management about the efficiency and results of the course of operations, supports planning and managing tasks, makes remote access possible and supports teamwork. Owing to state-of-the-art methods, it also makes storing and archiving documents possible.
Introduction of the ERP system contributes to the enhancement of the efficiency of the financial management of the company. This plays a role in the sales incomes and in growing business results alike. By using the IT systems put into operation, the company can react more quickly and efficiently to the market challenges. In addition, it can reach the goals set by the company owner and its employees more successfully.
