Of course, this was made of own materials.

With the arrival of the new robotic line in the factory in Pardubice, NEDCON is assured of a huge improvement in technology and ergonomics. The production process of the components is much more flexible and these robots can carry out the work with higher risks. These new robots weld the standard beams.

New profiling line operational

In the last quarter of 2020, a new profiling line was put into operation at the production site in Pardubice (Czech Republic). This new line is in line with our concept of "dedicated production lines" that are specialized for product families. The big difference with the old line is that it allows us to change product dimensions without physically rebuilding the line. This means a very fast changeover among different products. This, in combination with a higher production speed, leads to higher production efficiency and capacity.
