Full Description
Since 1989, the Hungarian enterprise has been serving domestic and foreign customers from 2 locations. The non-profit company enjoys a stable ownership background, closed production technology, 3 decades of experience in the wood industry, decades of returning export partners and a family atmosphere. Own products are made from Hungarian raw materials, with management's commitment to continuous improvement. 85% of their colleagues are workers with disabilities, and their work processes are characterized by increased precision, demandingness and tolerance of monotony.

85% of their manufacturing activities are related to the woodworking industry. In carpentry, the SME uses a closed technology system and sources raw materials from responsible forestry. The workshop is equipped with a complete machinery park, enabling the production of high-quality products tailored to customer needs and offering a wide range of services to clients.

To utilize available capacities, and ensure the continued and sustainable operation of the non-profit company and the employment of people with disabilities, they offer and seek contract manufacturing primarily in the following areas:
- Manufacturing of custom products and furniture

However, they are open to any form of collaboration, from small wooden parts to semi-finished products. Due to the Hungarian legal regulations, activities must be fulfilled at the sites of the Hungarian company.

Advantages and Innovations
The company sources raw materials from responsible forestry. They use closed technology in the field of carpentry. In the factory, the path of wood can be traced from the arrival of the log to the production of the finished product. The processing of wood goes through several processes, in which they have three decades of experience.
The company has two condensation drying chambers capable of accommodating 7.5 m3 of wood and a 1.5 m3 convection quick-drying equipment, so they can dry the lumber they produce on their own premises. The company has a complete machine park for the carpentry and joinery workshop. By learning how to use the modern production machines, they increase the competitiveness of disadvantaged workers in the labor market, improve production efficiency, broaden the product range, and increase sales revenue.
Social responsibility.
Clients and customers join the company's mission by using their services: employing people with intellectual disabilities and disadvantaged people by providing value-added work, experiencing a sense of community and usefulness.
