HERITAGE.
The roots of Gabec date back to almost 40 years of experience. The company was founded in the summer of 1980 by Gabriel Kotkowski and has been continuously operating on the market ever since. Its origins lie in the production of fasteners and metal accessories, primarily for the rapidly developing furniture industry in Poland, but also for construction and electrical engineering. Since 1995, under a name that refers to the founder’s name, it has continued its dynamic development, managed by the second generation of the Kotkowski family. Through modernization of the machinery park and continuous investment in new equipment and infrastructure, the company has increased its sales, expanding its client portfolio to include the automotive and home appliances industries. In 2004, a modern building was constructed in Potkanów – an industrial district of Radom – and it was the main headquarters of the company until 2018. Currently, Gabec is located on Inwestycyjna Street in Radom.
COOPERATION.
We know that communication with the customer is just as important as fully understanding their individual requirements and needs.
| DEVELOPMENT DIRECTIONS
Automotive industry is one of the most important branches of the industry, and its development directions set the standards in other industries. The global leaders we work with produce a wide range of products using the most advanced technologies. Because we value our customers, we are committed to delivering them special fasteners of high quality and innovation. Always on time. Our main clients can be found on the list of the twenty largest automotive parts manufacturers in the world, but every inquiry is equally important to us, regardless of the type of industry your company represents and its size.
| PRINCIPLES
To prepare a full offer, a technical drawing is required which specifies all the dimensions and tolerances of the product, as well as the material from which the product will be manufactured and any additional processes and important characteristics for its production. In order to optimize the manufacturing process, we also need information regarding the planned demand, e.g. on an annual scale, and other logistical assumptions. The data listed above becomes the starting point for conducting a full feasibility analysis. The technical specification along with supporting data is provided to our technologists, who develop a process plan and a preliminary technology outline, assigning the necessary resources and means.
| ANALYSIS
At this stage, it is crucial to correctly identify all customer requirements, as it closes the first phase of product quality planning according to the APQP procedure. After agreeing on commercial aspects in accordance with Gabec’s general terms and conditions, this phase becomes the basis for further actions set out in the product implementation plan.
| FEEDBACK
We respect the time of our business partners. Your inquiry will be preliminarily evaluated within 72 hours, after which we will provide feedback. This will determine whether it will be possible for us to provide a full offer or whether, due to reasons such as technological limitations, the product has been classified as unfeasible at Gabec. Within the next 7 business days, we will take you through with our offer or propose changes resulting from the feasibility study. This approach enables us to help you reduce costs, regardless of whether you decide to outsource the implementation in Gabec.
