Increasing the competitiveness of Keczán és Társa Kft. by implementing a market-oriented innovation project

Project ID number:

Contracted support amount:

50,000,000 HUF

Project content:

Within the framework of the Széchenyi Plan Plus program, with the application of the Economic Development and Innovation Operative Program Plus, production and marketing process innovation is being implemented in order to increase the competitiveness and corporate efficiency of Keczán és Társa Kft. The development is supported by a non-refundable grant of HUF 50 million from the European Regional Development Fund and from the domestic central budget appropriation.

During the 18-month implementation period of the project, the innovative development of the vehicle body manufacturing process will take place at the Keczán és Társa Kft. Nyíradony, suburban area 0584/34 hrsz. site. The project will receive significant assistance from the non-refundable grant awarded under the call for proposals “GINOP Plusz 2.1.3-24 – Supporting the innovation capacity of SMEs”.

Within the framework of the innovation project of Keczán és Társa Kft., two business process innovation activities are implemented: the innovation of the production process and the innovation of the marketing process.

The company's activity to be developed is the production of custom vehicle bodies. The production process is currently partly carried out by subcontractors, as the cutting of raw materials and semi-finished products is carried out by an external partner. However, this solution causes several difficulties, as it extends the production time, increases costs, and makes the company vulnerable to the capacity and schedule of the subcontractor. Another problem is that the subcontractor is not able to cut elements longer than four meters, so larger parts are produced in several pieces, which the company has to weld together afterwards. The industrial fiber laser cutting machine to be purchased as part of the project will allow the cutting processes to take place at the company's own site. This significantly reduces the lead time, as the process that previously took weeks can be completed in as little as two days. The introduction of the new equipment eliminates transportation costs, reduces the need for deburring and post-processing, and makes it possible to cut larger parts in one piece. This not only increases the efficiency of the production process, but also improves accuracy and reduces the possibility of errors. Two employees are also involved in the implementation and corporate adaptation of the production process innovation, whose proportional salary (personal expenses) spent on the project is also accounted for within the project. In the long term, the development contributes to strengthening the company's competitiveness and to faster and more cost-effective fulfillment of orders.

The project also includes a marketing innovation aimed at developing the company's online presence. Based on the competitor analysis, there are still untapped opportunities in the market in online communication and advertising. To this end, it is recommended to optimize the company's website for search engines and to use social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok consciously and regularly. With the help of Google Ads campaigns, the company can specifically reach those interested in vehicle body manufacturing or truck repair. In addition, the introduction of an automated newsletter system also helps to maintain contact with existing and potential B2B partners. Overall, the marketing developments contribute to increasing brand awareness and the company's wider reach. The effective use of online marketing tools is expected to significantly increase the number of interested parties and can result in an increase of up to 40% in customer inquiries. Two female employees are also involved in the implementation and corporate adaptation of the marketing process innovation, and their proportional salary (personal expenses) spent on the project is also accounted for within the framework of the project.

Activities to be implemented within the framework of the project:

During the equipment procurement, our company purchased 2 AdvanceForm type HYDRAULIC EDGE BENDING MACHINE plans to purchase. In addition to vehicle repair and maintenance, another important direction that we have developed several times in recent years with the help of tenders and on our own, is the production of truck superstructures. These superstructures are in most cases several meters long, which is why a machine with such a large capacity and such a large work table is needed. Our workshops are located far from each other in different halls on the site, which is why we plan to purchase 2 machines, because we can put the tools into production separately at the same time, thus producing even more structures for the construction of superstructures.

As part of a real estate investment, we are planning to carry out a complete renovation of one of our existing warehouse halls, which will result in a change of function. The increased number of employees has resulted in the need for a larger changing room, more social rooms, and larger spaces. Therefore, these rooms will be separated from the current large hall. After this renovation, our employees will receive a comfortable, modern facility equipped with all the necessary equipment, which will provide them with suitable conditions for their daily work. A cleaning product warehouse will also be established here. According to the plans, a new level, a gallery, will be created, which will function as a storage facility. During our work, we have to use and install many parts, and we would like to create a separate space for storing them. Here, we could organize the parts, so we can save time and labor in order to achieve more efficient work. In addition to installing parts, our company also sells parts. A large number of customers visit our site every day. The creation of this gallery also necessitates the construction of a new merchandise department.

Several hundred square meters of road surface and parking have already been built at our site in previous years, but due to our increased traffic we would need even more. During vehicle repairs or inspections, it happens that our customers' vehicles stay at our site for several days, so we are planning to build a new 300 m2 asphalt parking lot for them.

We will provide 1 of our employees with the opportunity to complete a technical examiner qualification within the framework of the project.

By purchasing software, we are implementing a corporate management system that provides great assistance in managing customers, ordering parts, and payroll.

The aim of the development is to further increase the market position, strengthen the diversification of activities, apply new technologies, modernize the site, make more efficient use of its capabilities, strengthen customer satisfaction, improve the efficiency of administrative processes and work, increase profit proportional to sales revenue, and retain jobs.
