Improvement of the production capacity of "Podem Gabrovo" Ltd. through investments in equipment for increasing the volume of the existing products

This project has been developed in line with the company's long-term development strategy, taking into account the increasingly unfavorable development of the market for components involved in the "value chain". The key issues for the company growth are: - rising the market price of some metal goods - inputs for the elaboration of key mechanical components in the production - a reduction in the offering of power-driven components, its concentration in a small number of market players, higher price without security of of the supplies. These issues have the following negative impact: 1. Decrease of the added value in the output production 2. As a consequence of p.1 and in addition - decreasing market flexibility for the realization of the production 3. Increasingly - a shock failure in provisioning the orders from customers with components necessary for the contracted production, which negatively affects the penalties, withdrawal of customers, etc. This project plans to acquire and implement in the production of the following equipment: - Roll bending machine - eliminating the need to buy large diameters pipes for the manufacture of drums and casing bodies. The pipe shapes will be made of sheet material with suitable thickness. The positive effect of significantly lower labor and processing costs will be enhanced by the significantly lower market value of the sheet material (including its transportation) compared to pre-made pipes. - Electro-sheet iron cutting machine (used for the manufacture of stator electric coils) - will be used to start its own production of electric drive components to provide the own production of hoists and cranes. The company wields all other resources needed for successful start of this activity. This way, the project focuses (and according to the chosen funding regime) on "expanding the capacity of an existing production unit".
