Dürr Systems is a producer of robotic car paint application lines (paintshops)
•
We were part of a bigger team included in all three phases of reconstruction and modernization of Audi’s and BMW’s
painting systems using technology developed by Dürr. In total of 6 painting lines there were approximately 90 robot stations
for which we have constructed cable paths and trails, routed and installed cables, connected cables and jacks and assisted
programmers with troubleshooting.

CORONA – CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
• It’s a fact that the world is struck by ongoing pandemic.
• During the period of low level business activity in automotive industry, focus has shifted to product
development.
• We are developing a game changer product in field of leak detection devices, which can detect almost
all liquids, using a non disruptive method.
• Product could be used in almost any industry (food&beverage, oil&gas, pharamaceutical, etc...).
• Potential in automotive industry, for coolant leak detection in battery housing and motor units for
electric vehicles (EVs).
• Advanced functionality and more cost effective then current solutions.
• Business cooperation is available.
• Proof of concept is expected in Q2 2021.
NETWORK OF PROFESSIONALS ACROSS CROATIA
• Benefit of being located in Croatia is access to a source of highly educated and skilled network of
professionals.
• Main reason for opening this company is to connect those professionals with adequate partners in need
of their services.
• Business network of professionals open for cooperation is growing by the day
• This is done by using modern communication platforms (LinkedIn) and by classical means of direct
contacts, references and reputation.
CROATIA – SMALL COUNTRY FOR GREAT STORIES
Proof of quality of education combined with a proactive mentality of local people can be found in recent
sucesss stories:
• VW Group is on the verge of offloading Bugatti to Croatian electromobility powerhouse
Rimac Automobili.
• Infobip's valuation thus surpassed 1 billion dollars, making it the first Croatian unicorn company.
• Infinum and Porsche Digital join forces to become a digital innovation hub for high-tech solutions in the
automotive sector.
