Description

Founded in 1994 and proudly family-owned, Kasto Chairs Ltd. boasts over two decades of expertise in crafting wooden chairs. Specializing in catering to the unique requirements of the HORECA industry—comprising Hotels, Restaurants, and Cafés—the company has continually evolved. Despite recent upgrades to equipment, Kasto Chairs Ltd. still encounters challenges related to sawdust extraction, heating, and drying systems.

The primary goal of the project is to enhance the company''s competitiveness through the incorporation of innovative green technologies. Kasto Chairs Ltd. aims to invest in a state-of-the-art Sawdust Extraction and Heating System, alongside an advanced Drying System. Furthermore, the company will make a strategic investment in an Automatic Planer and Moulder, promising expedited operations, reduced energy consumption, and optimal use of wooden materials with minimal waste generation.

This project represents a substantial value addition for the company by significantly improving working conditions and optimizing resource utilization. As a direct outcome, the initiative is poised to create two new job opportunities, further contributing to the company''s growth and sustainability.
