Zsolt Mondik, one of the managers of the Kecskemét-based company, highlighted that the project received a conditionally non-refundable grant of HUF 323 million from the Hungarian multi program. This was supplemented by the company’s management with more than HUF 645 million. The largest volume was the real estate investment, which included the construction of an 860-square-meter assembly hall and an associated 200-square-meter social block. In the assembly hall, the machines are assembled after painting, functionally tested and packed. With the development, the quality improved and the production capacity increased. In the framework of the project, they also acquired some production equipment to help with production and installation, but also established a 50-kilowatt solar panel park, with which they can produce a quarter of their electricity needs, he added.

In addition to all this, they developed a high-performance grinding plant for the production of animal feed

The equipment makes up for the lack, the quality it achieves has a positive effect on the animals’ ability to utilize nutrients, he said. The new type of grinder is universal, it can also be used in other industries, for example in waste processing, for regrinding plastic (PE) or printed circuit boards, he said. Zsolt Mondik emphasized: as a result of the developments, their product output potential increased by approximately 15-20 percent. József Turák, another managing director of the company, recalled: the two main activities of their company, founded in 1984, are industrial mechanical metal surface cleaning, the development and production of various surface cleaning equipment, and the production and distribution of machines based on the feed industry and bulk material handling technology. The company had only 6 employees in 1991, 84 in 2016, and now 158. At the beginning of the nineties, the sales revenue was HUF 12 million, in 2017 it was close to HUF five billion, and in 2022 it will already exceed HUF 13 billion – he explained the company manager. He added that there was a noticeable drop in their orders in 2023, so they will end last year with similar results to 2022.

In addition to domestic sales, Abraziv Kft. exports its feed industry equipment to several countries, typically to the Eastern and Central European regions. Romania is a priority area, as Abraziv Kft. has established an independent business there in both industries, he added. According to the company’s managing director, the developments will help their company expand its export markets. So far, they have primarily targeted neighboring countries, but in the future they will also target more distant, western market areas – said József Turák about their plans.
