ALCO-MOT AND A NEW MANAGEMENT STYLE


By opening a new chapter in the life of ALCO-MOT and in my own career, I decided to put across my approach to management. A combination of an industry typically reserved for men with a new female style of management as well as a fusion of the colour of our products with their shapehave inspired me to dare and establish a new company logo. A sign which in its character is supposed to be just whatI want ALCO-MOT’s actions to be like: clear, clean and dynamic.

TECHNOLOGY

In the production process we utilize two types of machining:

cutting

The cutting is done on a CNC centre, which is one of the most modern ones in Europe, made by the Swiss company PFIFFNER Instrument Transformers Ltd. The centre ensures, above all, the stability of the process and of the dimensions of the product as well as a very short time in which the finished product is obtained. The metal processed at this centre is mainly brass. The parameters which are monitored are the internal and external dimensions and threads,as agreed with the customer (frequency, documentation, measuring instruments).

 

CASTING

ALCO-MOT as one of the few companies in Poland and Europe specializes in the casting of lead using the gravitational method. This method requires precision which is guaranteed by a stable and well-coordinated crew. For the purposes of casting we prepare and produce the casting mouldson-site. The parameters which are monitored are, above all,the temperatures of the moulds, lead, and details – as agreed with the customer (frequency, documentation, measuring instruments). When required by our customers we conduct, among others:
– PPAP – FMEA analysis – 8D reporting – SPC

QUALITY


ALCO-MOT uses the ISO9001 Quality Management System, which has been confirmed by the seal of approval from a TÜV SÜD unit.

The most important quality aspects for us are:

  • manufacturing products according to the requirements agreed with the customer,
  • delivering products at a time arranged with the customer,
  • implementation of organizational solutions aimed at improving the quality of work,
  • elimination of all kinds of waste,
  • use of pro-quality tools in order to effectively resolve quality problems occurring in processes,
  • attention to maintaining mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers,
  • implementation of lean manufacturing tools and methods,
  • improving the competences of the employees.
  • HISTORY


    1952

    THE BEGINNING

    The history of the manufacture dates back to 1952. At the beginning, it worked as part of the “Local Industry”.

    1978

    CENTRA POZNAŃ

    In 1978 it became a branch of CENTRA Poznań. Within this company it produced a wide range of motorcycle and agriculture lead-acid batteries. At the same time, using its machinery it produced metal components for alkaline batteries.

    1996

    ALCO-MOT

    At the beginning of 1996, the manufacture was separated from the CENTRA group, and has been operating as a new limited liability company functioning under the name of Electrochemical Plant ALCO-MOT ever since.

    NOW 

    OUR VERY OWN PRODUCTION LINE.

    Constant changes on the market have led the manufacture to specialize in the production of small lead elements for traction batteries. The company has its own production line of crucibles and casting moulds, which provides it with additional capabilities to cater for individual needs of the client. Recently, the company has made computerization its priority. Among other benefits, it has helped to control and optimize costs and it allowed our customers to monitor our lead times. Nowadays, ALCO-MOT offers not only its many years of experience and knowledge of the metal working industry, but also a full technological support in this area.

    ENVIRONMENT


    ALCO-MOT monitors and systematically measures environmental parameters, expands its knowledge in the field of environmental protection and shares it with all its staff with the aim of spreading this knowledge to the local community.

    All actions are carried out in accordance with the applicable environmental regulations.

    For even better protection against the emergence of environmental hazards caused by the processing of lead for battery parts, ALCO-MOT is a member of the Association of Producers and Importers of Batteries in Poland founded in 1996.

    www.spiab.pl

    This association includes such organisations as: CENTRA, ZAP SznajderBatterien, Jenox, Autopart, Midac, Five Star, Bosch, Varta, Akuma.

    The main objectives of the Association are primarily to protect the rights of producers and importers, and, to a large extent, to promote the ecological principles of battery use and to protect the environment from the hazards arising from them. The Association also seeks to shape public awareness about the need for batteries recycling.


    Our plant, due to its location in the city centre and the nature of its business, puts a strong emphasis on care for the environment. We are committed to:
    1.  USE ENERGY-SAVING TECHNOLOGIES
    2. OPTIMAL USE OF RAW MATERIALS AND NATURAL RESOURCES
    3. ALWAYS MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF WASTE
    4. IMPROVE THE SAFETY OF WASTE AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS STORAGE
    5. MINIMIZE EMISSIONS
