Description
GEC GP, located in Adriatic Region operates under NACE CODE C16.10. Sawmilling and planing of wood.
The primary activity of company relates to processing of wood for the needs of building roofs and other purposes. Some of company’s products are boards, beams, slats and elements for pellets, which are made of high-quality fir, spruce, pine and larch. In addition, company produces wooden furniture (wooden benches and tables, and wooden houses).
The Project:
The wood industry is a capital intensive industry, and requires constant investment into modernization and automation of the production, for the company to keep its competitive position on the market.
Very important machine used by GEC GP in the production process is a Format Saw. GEC GP already owns this machine, which it uses for sawing of wood on a daily basis. However, the one currently in use consumes large amounts of energy and does not achieve an acceptable utilization of the raw material, which results in a large amount of wood waste, with negative effects on the environment and on the company''s expenses and profit. It is also relatively slow, thus the capacity of the company is lower than optimal, which is reflected in longer delivery terms, lower sales and - in opportunity loss.
This project is about investment into a new, superior Format Saw that will bring number of benefits to the company, including increased capacity, lower expenses and ability to produce some new products. It will ultimately be reflected in stronger competitiveness of the company, with significantly decreased costs, increased revenues and increased profit, and much greener production process.
