UK headquartered Hi-Technology Group, a technical plastics injection moulder which has two manufacturing and assembly sites in the UK, has moved its Slovakian production site to new purpose-built industrial premises near the second largest airport in Slovakia in Košice, Barca district.
Hi-Technology Group manufactures complex plastic mouldings using injection technology in addition to full assembly and logistics activities. The company supplies products for a variety of end uses across the maritime safety, medical devices, electrical engineering, transport, health and safety at work and defence industries. Currently, it is developing its production activity and capacity focused on design, tooling, production and assembly of plastic components, which it supplies to its customers all over the world.
The new premises in Slovakia meet all the company's requirements and were ready on a turnkey basis. The modern facility offers smart green solutions. Increased capacity, sustainability, efficient energy management and an incomparably lower carbon footprint, were significant motivations for change.
Ing. Peter Rozum, general manager of the Hi-Technology Group in Slovakia, said: "After 15 years of work and fulfilling demanding customer requirements in Slovakia, the company's leadership identified the need to expand the company's production capacities. The company can now continue to fulfil its tasks in modern premises with sufficient capacity for further development. We are also pleased by the fact that on 23/03/2023 the new facility was formally opened by the Ambassador of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, His Excellency Nigel Baker OBE MVO.”
The facility in CTPark Košice has an area of 4056 m², meaning the Hi-Technology Group has a combined total of 8000m2 of production facilities, including 60 mould machines and assembly areas. The production unit itself had to be developed to ensure the seamless integration of overhead cranes, distribution of cooling technological water, compressed air and processed plastic granulate. At the same time, the premises were also used for service activities and purposefully designed warehouse management. The working environment also provides modern social facilities for employees.
