“MAAD” MARIA WIŚNIEWSKA Trading, Service, and Manufacturing Company
is implementing a project co-financed by European Funds: “Innovative Electric-Powered Bending Machine
as a new product in the MAAD company’s portfolio from Tuchola”
Project objective: Implementation of a new product innovation on a national scale within the company – an electromechanical bending machine developed by MAAD (a small enterprise).
Project description:
The project involves launching an innovative product onto the market. The investment is based on the purchase of fixed assets necessary to start production of the innovative bending machine.
The fixed assets planned for purchase are:
- CNC lathe with driven tools and a tool changer – 1 unit,
- vertical CNC milling center with 2-pallet capability – 1 unit, and
- CNC plasma cutter – 1 unit.
This scope of the project will enable the full achievement of its objective, namely the implementation of R&D results through the market launch of an innovative electrically driven sheet metal bending machine. Additionally, employment levels at the company will increase—4 new jobs will be created, thereby reducing unemployment in the region and having a positive impact on the local community.
By achieving the project’s objective—the implementation in a small enterprise of R&D results concerning innovative product technology—MAAD will introduce an unprecedented product solution to the domestic and global markets, for which a patent application has been filed. This will enable increased production and higher company revenue, while simultaneously confirming the company’s high innovative potential among customers, and affirm its status and prestige as a major manufacturer in the sheet metal machinery industry in Poland and abroad. As a result, the company’s competitiveness on the domestic and international markets as an innovative producer of high-quality products will increase. The project will thus directly contribute to strengthening the innovation and competitiveness of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Province, as well as the entire country.
The indicators for the planned project outputs are:
- Number of enterprises supported in the field of eco-innovation – baseline value – 0, target value – 1 in 2018.
