Investment in the purchase of energy- and material-efficient hardware at Orodjarstvo Simončič - Support for decarbonisation, productivity, and competitiveness of companie

The purpose of the investment was to modernise the technological equipment of the undertaking in order to achieve higher material and energy efficiency in its operation. The new investment makes it possible to expand existing production and products. The project also aims to achieve higher added value per employee.

As part of the investment, the company purchased a vertical processing centre and a wire erosion machine. They are directed towards the purchase of low-energy machinery.

By purchasing wire erosion, they will not need additional heating during the winter months, as such machines heat significantly the environmental space during their operation. This will lead to zero emissions from heating. Both machines will help reduce material consumption. For both machines, they selected the best available technology on the market, while choosing among the most “ecologically oriented machines” in order to move as close as possible to the transition to green industry/production.

The Recovery and Resilience Facility provided funding of EUR 157,000, while the total value of the investment was EUR 384,000. The project started in June 2023 and was finalised in September 2024.
