Videoton’s subsidiary VT Mechatronics Kft entered into the energetics and medical markets

Győr – Székesfehérvár, 19-7-2013 — /europawire.eu/ — The Győr-based VT Mechatronics Kft. entered into the energetics and medical markets as well. The company closing its last year with more than 7 million EUR revenue, extended its businesses in the field of machining and assembly in the second quarter of year 2013 further.

Due to an agreement at the end of 2012 on the production of 17 different types of machined parts VT Mechatronics expanded its customer range with ABB, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high quality industrial products. The parts produced by VT Mechatronics are low volume high-precision parts that are built in high-voltage generator circuit breakers and delivered to Zurich.

Moreover, following a successful audit, VT Mechatronics has become an approved vendor of the Swiss-based company at the level of the High Voltage Products division. Thus the Videoton group – after so many years of being present in the low-voltage and high current markets – has entered into the area of high-voltage products too.

The success is also due to the fact that in the second half of 2012 VT Mechatronics developed its machine park with a modern Mori Seiki CNC lathe and a DMU 60 EVO simultaneous five-axis machining center which represents high-tech in this category. With this 420 thousand euro investment the Győr-based company has improved its competitiveness and efficiency further.

The subsidiary also agreed with the Hungarian owned Mediso Kft. at the end of the last year on the complete mechanical and electrical assembly of the SPECT module of the multimodality imaging system, medical diagnostic device called „AnyScan”. With AnyScan certain clinical pictures can be analyzed simultaneously that required multiple different devices previously. The machine with its nearly 1000 pcs of components is assembled by the Győr-based subsidiary in more than 250 hours of work which includes the manufacturing of machined parts, the assembly of electromechanical subassemblies as well as the high level assembly, calibration and testing of the device. The final integration and checking of the system is concluded by Mediso Kft. in Budapest then the product is sold in many countries around the world.

Due to the ramp-up of new businesses and existing projects, VT Mechatronics is expected to increase its revenue compared to last year’s figures.
In terms of strategy the company continues to focus primarily on its main competence, the assembly of high complexity equipment produced in low volume and on – what is essential for this activity but is also offered as a stand-alone service to customers – the low volume machining of high complexity parts.
