COMTES FHT a.s.
The project Pre-application Research of Functionally Graduated Materials (GRAMATECH ITI) with a budget of CZK 89 million (EUR 3,5 million) and supported by the Research, Development and Education Operational Program. The project is implemented by a thirty-member team of researchers and technicians from 1 January 2018 to 30 June 2022. The project is a complex of research, investment and support activities, including the acquisition of 3D printing equipment by direct laser deposition. Inova Pro coordinated works on the project idea and in the next phase also worked on the project application, including a feasibility study and other annexes.
Project Research of advanced steels with unique properties (COMEX) supported by CZK 173,3 million (EUR 6,7 mil.) from the Operational programme Research, development and education in the call Excellent research. The project is implemented at the research institute COMTES FHT in the period October 2018 – June 2023. The project is focused on achieving the parameters or combinations of multiple properties with selected types of modern steels with emphasis on optimising the corrosion resistance, resistance to acid brittleness, resistance to crack formation on shear edges, temperature stability, elastic modulus or service life in combination with excellent mechanical properties. Utilisation of the results aims towards materials for transport equipment, energy, and for product lines located in sea water and in arctic conditions. As part of the project, corrosion and forming laboratory will be built in the COMTES FHT research complex in Dobřany for approximately CZK 50 million.
Inova Pro coordinated works on the project application, including the preparation of a feasibility study and other annexes.
The project focused on the equipment the 3D printing workplace in the scientific and technology park (STP) of COMTES FHT a.s. in Dobřany near Pilsen by high-tech deposition equipment for 3D metal printing using the Selective Laser Powder Bed Fusion method and for other equipment for 3D metal printing, such as a particle analyzer, wind powder sorter or wire cutter. The investment of 39 million crowns (of which 75% subsidy from structural funds) will significantly expand the technological possibilities of the STP in 3D printing of metal materials, will increase the available deposition capacity of the workplace and expand its deposition possibilities in terms of printable components, materials and deposition rate. The project, scheduled for 24 months, started on 1.7. 2021.
Inova Pro prepared a project feasibility study and cost-benefit analysis and coordinated the work on the project application and its annexes.
The project aimed at building a technology-oriented science and technology park in Dobřany near Pilsen, close to the current research and laboratory premises of COMTES FHT a.s. and implemented between 2016 and 2019. The value of the investment is close to CZK 150 million (EUR 6 million). The park consisting of three buildings should be open during 2019. It will offer lab facilities, workshops, a multifunctional hall, as well as a 3D printer, electro mobile recharge station and nursery school. Inova Pro consulted the project idea and was responsible for elaboration of the project application and for coordination of work on feasibility study and cost-benefit analysis

EFACEC
The project manager of Inova Pro assisted to the largest Portuguese industrial holding EFACEC in entering the Czech market twenty five years ago. This holding successfully operates in the areas of electrical equipment for generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy. With EFACEC we cooperated in commercial and realization phases of most important intralogistics projects of automated warehouses in Czech and Slovak Republics (equipped with with stacker cranes, AGV or RGV /automated guided vehicles and rail guided vehicles/ and conveyor systems). We worked with Efacec in realization of projects for Škoda Auto Mladá Boleslav and Kvasiny and Mondi SCP in Ružomberok.
We provided to the company Efacec marketing support in the Czech Republic and in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
