Ferzol Kft., Tápiószőlős

In the first years of the 1980s, production of machine-cut bonding units was started. It lasted for a relatively short period and it was replaced by tool-making and sheet-metal pressing. At that time, Zoltán Bíró, Ferenc Bíró s son, joined the firm as toolmaker. The present-day name of the firm (FERZOL) was created at that time combining the two first names of these two persons (FERenc and ZOLtán). The firm worked on as a family enterprise. In January 1990, under the leadership of Zoltán Bíró, the firm was transformed into a private undertaking. Since then, employees have been employed and the production volume has been increasing. As a consequence of the economic and political changes taken place in Hungary in the beginning of the 90s, the firms producing component parts as suppliers got into an extremely difficult situation. Influencing by this factor, the firm started producing its own-developed finished products. The market of these products was mainly the small industry and the households (for instance, window nails, various screw rings, etc.). In 1993, on the outskirts of the settlement Tápiószőlős, on an industrial site, a new production shed having a floor area of about 400 m2 was built for us. Starting from the year 1994, various privatised or newly established small or big production companies started to increase and as a consequence, they started to co-operate with small undertakings as their suppliers. That was the time, when the company FERZOL started to supply various sheet steel component parts to the ELECTROLUX production unit based in the town of Jászberény. This was the beginning of the first substantial business development. From that time on, our main activity was directed into the fields of tool-making and sheet-metal pressing. To produce component parts in small series quantities, we had to purchase CNC type sheet-manufacturing machines. hand and the large quantities of recycled capital on the other hand.
