AMEKA OOD

AMECA is specialized in developing and supplying of custom made special purpose machines and automating equipment. Machining, forming, bending, folding, assembling, testing, handling - we are covering a broad range of specific needs of automation, proposing tailor-made solutions to your products and processes. We are offering in particular various automatic machines for the specific technologies of the car starter and alternator production - new and rebuilt ones. The private company AMECA Ltd. was founded in the early 1993 by George Keskinov and Boyan Bonev, both Mech. Eng., M. Sc. and former employees of the state Central Machine Tool Research Institute in Sofia. The company staff was chosen among the most capable engineers and mechanics of our machine tool building industry. Main activity of the company is developing and supplying of custom made special purpose machines for specific applications, using the most modern means of automation. AMECA is specialized in particular in supplying automatic machines for the manufacturing of DC motors and generators, for the most part car starter motors and alternators. All machines are in compliance with the requirements of DIN EN IEC 60204-1, EN 292-1 and EN 292-2. ISO9001:2000 certification was acquired since 2002. The annual production averages 25 - 35 machines, including 10 - 15 simpler bench type automatic machines for rebuilders. Almost 100% of the production is exported, most of all in the United States and Canada. The average delivery term for custom made special machine is 4 - 6 months from the date of the Purchase Order. The company currently employs 25 people (CAD designers, electronic specialists, software developers, mechanics, business administration). The most modern working conditions were set up after the company moved into its own 600 sq. m. building in 1998. 1.
