About us

KOVOFINIŠ a.s. is a modern Czech company with a tradition dating back to 1951. Since its foundation it has been engaged in the development and production of surface treatment equipment. During its existence KOVOFINIŠ has successfully implemented projects all over the world. Our company has its own technical, development and production facilities. Thanks to the continuous development of know-how, we are the leading European manufacturer of equipment for surface treatment and disposal of industrial waste water. All the equipment we supply is designed with the environment in mind and according to the customer's needs.

The quality of our management is certified according to ISO 9001. The environmental management of the company is certified according to ISO 14001. We are also holders of the German WHG certificate for surface treatment and waste water treatment.

We are all about

	Quality We comprehend a quality of our equipments as a base for realization of your products. Our aim: higher productivity
	Reliability We ensure smooth course of order – from project elaboration, through production, up to commissioning and a test operation. All of this is by our own operation and sources. Our aim: compliance with deadlines

Ecology

	Legislation and ecology Environmental legislation is becoming increasingly stringent. The days when wastewater could be discharged into rivers and sewers are irretrievably gone. And rightly so! Damaged landscapes and polluted rivers are not something we want to leave behind for future generations. Certainly not when there are other ways to do it.
	Economical operation Our eco-friendly and economical solutions have not only a moral dimension, but also an economic one. With the rising cost of energy, water and sewage, solutions that save on any of these components are an essential part of the whole facility. Wastewater recycling, energy-saving and low-cost solutions as well as energy recovery are the way to go.
	Closed wastewater systems Our environmentally friendly solutions allow projects to be implemented even in locations where very strict limits on wastewater discharge are in place or where wastewater cannot be discharged at all. We have already implemented closed or partially closed wastewater systems (Zero Liquid Discharge) for a number of customers. Thanks to this technology it is possible to recycle some or all of the process water.
	Development of new technologies We are not afraid of new technologies. We are constantly developing new technologies in surface treatment and wastewater treatment. We have our own technology and development department for this purpose. At first, we test the developed technology theoretically, then in our own laboratory conditions and finally under operation of an electroplating line or wastewater treatment plant. Thanks to new technologies, we reduce the costs of plant operation, waste production and increase process efficiency.
	Expert assistance and documents for negotiations with the authorities An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study is required before any major project is undertaken. We will help you with this process and prepare the necessary documentation on a turnkey basis. Our arguments when dealing with the authorities are supported by chemical and technological calculations and laboratory tests.
	Automation - Saving human labour We strive to design our equipment to require as little human intervention as possible. The equipment is usually fully automatic or semi-automatic. Manually operated equipment is fast becoming a thing of the past with the advent of automation. Thanks to automation, errors resulting from the involvement of the human factor are avoided.
