nir-vana innovation network

The Slovenian company from the Primorska region was founded in 1990. With 30 years of experience manufacturing for German and Swiss markets, the company offers the possibility of B2B cooperation to foreign companies producing high-tech products or components for technologically complex products, from aluminium, steel and stainless steel.

The company offers the following services:
- technical consulting and prototyping - the company regularly develops prototypes in cooperation with their customers - They also make their own tools, programs and templates for fast and flexible prototyping. The company offers direct production according to CAD drawings and joint development of optimized prototypes. It can perform a simulation of the feasibility of an individual process.

- Serial / custom-made production of components or products - with all the technological equipment available, it can cost-effectively carry out the entire process from planning, cutting to surface treatment, powder coating and assembly. The company specializes in small and medium-sized series of products between 50 and 10,000 pieces per year, and also accepts orders for large batches of up to 50,000 pieces per year.

- assembly, packaging and labeling in accordance with the requirements and logistics of the individual customer and delivery to the customer's warehouse

The company has the most modern technological equipment for the implementation of services:
- laser cutting
- sheet metal bending on a larger machine with a power of 130 tons to a width of 3100 mm, and on a smaller machine 50 tons to a length of 1000 mm.
- Bending and cutting tubes
- Welding of complex welded structures: robotic welding: three welding robots for MIG / MAG welding. Robotic welding of stainless steel, structural steel and refractory sheets as well as aluminum.
- spot welding - For easy joining of sheet metal parts (automotive industry, tank production)
- TIG manual welding - For welding thin stainless steel and aluminum, magnesium and copper alloys
- Turning - the company has two CNC machine tools with three axes and driven tools
- Milling - vertical CNC machining center is used for rough and fine machining. The size of the workbench - 920mm x 435mm.
- Powder coating - the company has a semi-automated powder coating line

The company is interested in cooperation with foreign companies on the basis of a manufacturing and/or subcontracting agreement as a supplier of metal components for sectors such as agriculture (especially farming machinery), internal logistics vehicles (self-propelled automatic robotic vehicles), waste management machines, sewage treatment plants, manufacture of components for wind turbines (wind energy) and manufacture of devices / components of devices for medical equipment.

Today, the company is strongly integrated into the international business premises and is a supplier or subcontractor to renowned European companies from Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Great Britain. The company wants to diversify the pool of customers and find new business partners.

Advantages & innovations

The advantages of Slovenian company and their services compared to competing providers are: 1) Technical Advice And Exprience - based on 30 years of experience, they can competently advise clients in the development phase to optimize the production of a component / product for a more favourable and economical production process; 2) Fast development to serial production - fast and flexible prototyping, because they produce tools, jigs and templates themselves - all technologies in house 3) Quality - Strict personal final quality control of each product signed by the mechanical engineer; - more than 80% of products are exported to Germany, Switzerland and Great Britain, the three most demanding markets in Western Europe; - the company has been EN ISO 9001: 2015 certified since 2014. The company's processes and procedures are regularly reviewed at the annual quality review; - welding certificates for welding steel, stainless steel and aluminium, for robotic and manual welding; 4) Responsiveness and Flexibility - because it is a small company, they are more flexible in offering their services than larger companies - Short delivery times and responsiveness and flexibility towards their customers. - dedicated account manager and technologist for every customer

Stage of development

Already on the market

Partner sought

The company is looking for new business partners between medium and large companies, manufacturers of innovative products in advanced industrial sectors such as clean energy, agro-processing sector, medical industry, robotic automation. They want to offer the companies prototyping and serial manufacturing of their products from aluminium, steel and stainless steel. The task of the partners sought will be to present their development and production challenges for their (new) products to a Slovenian company and/or to prepare drawings for the production of mechanical parts, welded parts of their products. The Slovenian company then, in accordance with the agreement (subcontracting or manufacturing agreement) will carry out all the requested phases of product development in one place: preparation of tools, jigs, templates, production of samples and then serial production.
