Beneficiary Name: Kozma-Bútor Kft.
Project Title: Capacity-Building Investment at Kozma-Bútor Kft.
Contracted Grant Amount: 18.62 million forints
Grant rate (%): 50%
Project description: Kozma-Bútor Kft. specializes in the manufacture of custom, small-batch furniture and interior design projects. Thanks to its continuous development, the company has been able to secure projects of increasingly high quality. The company was struggling with capacity issues, and the inaccuracies, waste, and delays resulting from manual processing were causing problems when carrying out high-quality carpentry work—and, increasingly, interior design projects. The acquisition of the machining center represented a huge step forward in terms of increasing production capacity. The newly acquired CNC machine enabled the machining of furniture fronts and other milled surfaces, the installation of hardware requiring high precision, and the production of other products requiring CNC technology.
The KORPUS Integrated Furniture Industry System’s production planning and SCM CNC machining center control applications were necessary for the efficient control and operation of the machining center. The KORPUS STANDARD MODULE enabled inventory management, order processing, cost calculation, cutting optimization, and scrap material management. With the KORPUS SERIAL MODULE, the company was able to create its own standardized furniture components, based on which the system automatically determines the cutting dimensions of parametric furniture components, as well as material and accessory requirements. Using this module, the furniture’s material, overall dimensions, and components can be modified with a single click. The entire system is built on the KORPUS STANDARD module. The KORPUS CAD/CAM MODULE is a high-performance, AutoCAD© OEM-based, Hungarian-language CAD/CAM software (the AutoCAD© engine is part of the application) for programming CNC machining centers. The program supports simple drilling, optimized drilling, and horizontal drilling operations, as well as drilling along existing paths/routes and parametric drilling based on predefined conditions. It is also possible to specify milling operations along various geometries, on horizontal planes and user-defined planes, even as multi-level machining.
Project planned completion date (or actual completion date, if completed): November 8, 2017.

Project Title: KOZMA-BÚTOR Furniture Manufacturing and Distribution Kft.
Contracted Grant Amount: 6,283,677 forint
Grant Rate (%): 100%
Project Description: The applicant company, Kozma-Bútor Kft., operates in the furniture manufacturing and distribution market, with its primary activity being the “manufacture of kitchen furniture.” Over the course of its 16 years in business, it has established a stable network of suppliers and customers. It generates the majority of its revenue through the manufacturing and distribution of custom-made and small-batch furniture in various styles (classic rustic, minimalist-high-tech, modern, Mediterranean-country). This unique product line specifically meets the demand of a niche market segment, which market forecasts predict will continue to expand. Its product offerings fall into a higher price range. In addition to furniture, the company also sells household appliances. The applicant’s manager, key figure, and mentor to interns, Zoltán Dezső Kozma, has been involved in the manufacture and distribution of custom furniture since 1994. The family business has undergone continuous development, thanks to which it had grown into a limited liability company (Kft.) by 1999 and has maintained this legal structure ever since. Thanks to more than 20 years of experience in the furniture industry, continuous self-directed learning, and a technical mindset, the company now designs furniture and office furnishings for renowned international companies (L’Oréal, Nordsee, SONY, ACER, and the Russian Embassy), as well as various state-owned companies, local governments, and educational institutions, led by a young, dynamic team of interior designers.
Over the years, its workforce has grown into a stable team of 11 employees, including 3 women and 8 men. The company has developed a stable network of suppliers and customers, supported by a sophisticated supplier information system. It operates a website that is continuously updated, and the necessary resources for its maintenance are in place. In addition to furniture manufacturing, the company offers complimentary on-site assessments, expert consultations, and visual design services as supplementary support services. The managing director’s experience and entrepreneurial background ensure the company’s smooth operation, and he oversees that the services provided by the company are in line with the guidelines set forth in the quality policy. To maintain sustainable growth and its competitive edge, the company must implement improvements in the short term. Currently, the company is struggling with capacity issues, and when carrying out high-quality carpentry work—and, increasingly, interior design projects—inaccuracies, waste, and delays resulting from manual labor pose a problem. Labor shortages are becoming an increasingly significant issue. The goal of the grant application is to increase the number of employees, a goal to which the purchase of equipment will contribute significantly, as the company will be able to meet the demands of its growing order backlog more efficiently.
The interns employed in the project hold the following qualifications: Machine Manufacturing Technology Technician (OKJ 54 521 03) Construction and Material Handling Equipment Operator (Forklift Operator specialization) (OKJ 32 582 02) The mechanical engineering technology technician organizes the daily work of employees, establishes the necessary conditions for production and service programs, determines the sequence of work processes, and prepares operating instructions: professional planning, organization, and regulation of work to ensure optimal use of labor; compiling technical documentation, standards, and guidelines related to production and service processes; comparing the initial and final states, and breaking down the tasks to be performed into elementary operations that are independent of one another in terms of space and time;
Establishing the sequence of operations, taking into account the sequence constraints inherent in the nature of the tasks to be performed and the resource constraints; Interns employed in the role of work and production planner require a high-performance desktop computer and monitor to organize work processes, compile orders, document tasks, and write CNC machine programs. This computer is necessary for the intern to prepare the assigned cutting plans, bills of materials, and CNC programs. Construction and material-handling machine operators perform simple, generally physical tasks using manual labor, such as servicing machines or assisting people, and handling materials and objects. Their work may also require the use of simple tools or equipment: manually edge-banding furniture panels; manually machining furniture panels with assigned tools; operating assigned simple devices, and cleaning machines, equipment, and tools
An intern employed in a simple industrial position can continuously acquire the skills necessary for the carpentry trade by assisting the carpenters in their work. For hand-processing furniture panels, the intern will use the Festool drill/driver, Festool miter saw, Festool dowel drill, and hand tools (hammer, pliers, screwdriver, chisel, file, clamp, cable reel, etc.), as well as the Festool edge trimmer for manually trimming the edges of furniture panels. These are basic carpentry tools. The equipment purchases made during the project will lay the foundation for the conditions necessary for long-term, successful operations. The goal is to increase the number of employees, and the equipment purchases will contribute significantly to this, as the business will be able to meet the demands of the increased order volume more efficiently. Planned project completion date (or actual completion date, if the project has been completed): August 20, 2018. Project identification number: GINOP-5.2.4-16-2017-02601
