Dekpol Steel – 2013 Year in Summary

Celebration continues! This time, for the 10th anniversary of our company, we go back to 2013, to see what we thought and how we looked like then!

It was a time of intensive work, where our priority was quality of production and management. It was certified by ISO 9001:2008, EN ISO 3834-2, EN 1090-1, EN1090-2. As the first producer of machinery, we have received steel’s producer – SSAB – certificate: Hardox in My Body.

This year, we have also prepared for the first audit to become a certified supplier for OEM. 2013 was also a time of gaining new clients on the domestic and international markets.

We have produced 3000 buckets, mostly for Volvo, Komatsu, JCB, and Caterpillar dealers and for export to Germany, Sweden, Norway, France, Great Britain, Belgium, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, and Australia.

Scandinavian markets expansion!

In 2013, we have also initiated a long-term partnership with our first Norwegian client to whom we have exported quarry buckets and HD. It was the first time when we applied an original tine system HARDOX KVX.

We have also worked with our neighboring Partner to create, step by step, a new brand of hardware. Soon, this brand will compete with the leading brands on the market and will become a strong competition for them, based on Dekpol Steel projects and being tested at many Swedish testing grounds.

HARDOX® in My Body

Quality, precision, functionality – those goals can be realized by using a unique Hardox steel. With high wear resistance, it added a lot to our products. Additionally, it cut spending in the long run, when it comes to exploitation. 

The idea to use this steel in Dekpol Steel’s products was made during the first days of creating buckets. The original steel from Swedish producer SSAB – HARDOX® – is in a class by itself.

The first step made to use this steel was the participation in “Wear Plates” program. In 2013, Dekpol Steel received “Hardox in my Body” certificate from SSAB. This certificate still belongs to Dekpol Steel as the sole producer of hardware for machinery in Poland
