Description

Omišplast d.o.o. was founded in 1995 near Omiš. Company started with production of Plastic (PVC) doors and windows. In the meantime, the company expanded production to Aluminum doors and windows.

Currently, production process has suboptimal productivity due to lots of manual work, mostly related to installation of shackles on the doors and windows. Manual work is slower, spends more energy and results in more faulty parts. Problems with this manual work will be solved with the instalment of new CNC machine which will make all activities related to shackle on the doors and windows automated, faster and more precise. CNC machinery will improve speed of production, decrease energy per unit product and produce less faulty parts. Faulty parts cause waste of material and waste of time due to repeating of process. 

Other part of the project is related to new product - glass garden, which request big profile cutting. Big profile cutting is now outsourced and done in another company. This new product has big demand in the local market in Dalmatia, especially in the tourism sector. Purchase of circular saw for big cutting will eliminate transport cost, CO2 pollution and will ensure in-house production. Additionally, Omišplast could then offer cutting services for nearby companies in PVC and ALU doors and windows industry.

Summary of project results

Currently outdated production equipment is the reason the Company started preparing this investment project. It will increase the efficiency and production capacity. Low efficiency is due to much manual work mostly related to installation of shackles on doors and windows. Manual work is slower, spends more energy and causes more faulty parts. Problem with manual work will be solved by purchasing of new CNC machinery which will make all work related to shackle on doors and windows automated and faster. CNC machinery will improve speed and capacity of production, decrease energy per unit product and will cause less faulty parts. 
Second part of the investment is related to new product - glass garden, which requests large profile cutting. Large profile cutting is now done outsourced in another company. Glass gardens have currently big demand on the market in Dalmatia. This way, cutting of big profiles will be possible in-house by Omisplast, thus reducing the transport costs, and it increasing the competitiveness of the company.

With this project, the Promoter will now be more competitive on the market since their PVC and ALU products will be of higher quality, and they will increase their production capacity.

Also, the working conditions for the workers will be improved since the new CNC machine and circular saw are easier and safer to operate. Additionally, the workers gained new skills since they are now trained to operate state of the art machinery.

Project Output Indicator from the Contract has been reached:

One innovative technologies/processes/solutions applied (new to the enterprise) - 1 innovative technology new to the enterprise, consisting of 1 new CNC machine and 1 new circular saw.

 

Expected outcomes - Increased competitiveness of the company:

- Estimated annual growth in turnover: 70% in 2025, in comparison to 2021

- Estimated annual growth in profit: 309% in 2025, in comparison to 2021

- Jobs created: 1 by 2025, in comparison to 2021

And Green indicators from the Contract:

- Tonnes of CO2 saved: -1,8 by 2025 in comparison to 2021 (as a result of increased efficiency, reducing

transport and reduced waste material due to automatization and higher precision)

- MWh energy consumption savings: 3,0 by 2025 in comparison to 2021 (as a result of more energy efficient equipment)

- Tonnes of material less used: 0,1 by 2025 in comparison to 2021 (as a result of less faulty parts due to

automatization and higher precision)

are all expected to be reached in 2025.
