We produce technical castings and furniture fittings with a wide range of surface treatments – from sanding and painting to electroplating.
KNK zamac, a production cooperative based in Ľubietová, is a manufacturer of technical castings, including galvanic and organic metal surface treatments. The production cooperative was established in 1993, when it followed the production activities of the production cooperative for the disabled ROZKVET, existing since 1956.
At the KNK – Zamac plant in Ľubietová, the basic raw material used in the production of zinc alloy is ZAMAC 5. Die-casting technology produces not only furniture hardware, but also various technical castings, e.g. for the automotive and music industries.
Semi-finished products are processed mechanically and chemically. The surface of the products is galvanically treated – standard brass, chrome, chrome matt, nickel, nickel matt, black nickel and patina on brass or copper, with powder firing colors in RAL shades or imitations of galvanic surface treatments, as well as the use of wet painting process technology.
30 years of experience in the field of die-casting of zinc castings and surface treatments made it possible to achieve high quality products that have found application in many countries around the world.
The company’s strategy is to deliver high quality zinc products that meet all customer requirements at competitive prices in the shortest possible time. Since its inception, the company has strived for development and modernization in order to establish itself on the European and world markets.
The company attaches great importance to customer satisfaction, quality, innovation, ecology, improving the production process and building correct business-partnership relationships.
The main raw material in production is zinc alloy (Zamak5), which is further processed mechanically (grinding, satin-finishing, polishing and trimming) and then galvanically (glossy or matte nickel & chrome, brass, patina, black nickel, copper), powder firing paints or “wet process” painting.
