IRONAL SPOL. S R.O. WAS FOUNDED BY FOUR PARTNERS IN 1998 ON “ZELENEJ LÚKE”.
All four partners had approximately 20 years combined of experience in mechanical engineering at the time the company was founded. They translated their experience, skills and tenacity into the birth of a company that has met their ambitions and expectations, as well as those of their business partners. The growth of the company and its position is documented not only by the figures mentioned above, but also by the wide range of clientele that has been established and is satisfied with the cooperation thus far.
The original headquarters of the company in the leased premises of the KOVOHRON production cooperative in Zvolen was replaced by the company’s own premises in Banská Bystrica – Kynceľová. At that time, own production and warehouse halls with an area of 2,133 m2 were completely filled with production technology. Today, our products end up in the mechanisms of window systems, the furniture industry, hydraulic aggregates, but above all in the products of renowned automobile manufacturers. The implemented ISO 9001/2015 quality system provides guarantees for efficient and reliable execution of signed contracts.
