KOVV Project

Quality and business are everyone's business

A focus on quality is and will be our main motto. However, it is not just about our concrete, but also about all the processes in our company, which are interconnected in a network of an infinite number of activities, information and communications, whether it is operations or administration.

The KOVV project includes changes in the quality of concrete, services, business, communication both internally and externally. In the area of ​​processes and procedures, as well as performance evaluation, and last but not least, there have been significant graphic, modern and innovative changes in our price lists, tender and contractual documents, which are intended to provide the customer with better orientation and information about the products offered. The results we expect:

• Constant quality of products and services – transforming ready-mix concrete production into an “industrial process”
• Products and services tailored to the customer
• Win-win goal – higher benefit for ZAPU and its customers

KOVV - QUALITY

An integral part of the quality management system was the quality policy set by the top management, which is in line with the company’s strategy, intentions, goals and capabilities. It defines the satisfaction of its customers with the products and services offered as one of its main priorities. For the purposes of quality assurance, a new organizational structure of the quality department was created in November 2014, which falls under the CEO and includes technology, laboratories and ISO processes. Since February 2015, a new quality manager, Giuseppe Giunti, has been working at ZAPY, an experienced technologist from our Italian sister company Unical SpA. He brings a completely new perspective on internal quality assessment with a focus on ensuring quality in accordance with the relevant standards, as well as the Buzzi Unicem group’s own control standards. Thanks to the experience of Mr. Giunti and his team of technologists, customers are offered new recipes and special products that meet their requirements for quality, processing speed and curing of concrete, which in many cases will also reduce the cost of construction or part of it.

To ensure professionalism in the area of ​​quality, our sales representatives also undergo technological training and work closely with our experts in obtaining and implementing construction orders.

WITH THE KOVV PROJECT, A NEW QUALITY SLOGAN HAS BEEN CREATED – ZAPA SAYS NO TO ADDED WATER

This part of the project is very closely focused on cooperation between the construction site and the concrete plant and the emphasis placed on ensuring the constant and unchanging quality of the delivered concrete. The fundamental rule is to choose the right consistency that will guarantee the required workability on the construction site. The emphasis is on minimizing the treatment of delivered concrete on site and provides recommendations to builders on why not to add water to concrete.

The NEMO project

• NEMO is a project of the ZAPA beton company, launched on January 1, 2017 for our customers and the professional public in the Czech and Slovak Republics.
• Its name consists of the letters of the words: New Evolutionary Materials for Innovation. Why?
• As a dynamic and innovative company, using the long-term experience of our foreign shareholders, Buzzi Unicem and Dyckerhoff, ZAPA beton is intensively engaged in the development and introduction of new special products. Some of them are already sold to our customers.
• We know that our customers, investors, architects and designers want to know the latest trends in the building materials market, they need advice when deciding on the right product, so that their decision meets their expectations, brings maximum added value and simplifies and accelerates the implementation of the given construction.
• That is why the NEMO project was founded, which is dedicated to our experienced and well-trained quality, sales and marketing team. For each of the business areas of Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia, we have selected one sales representative – a specialist who deals with the sale of special products, and one technologist who will help with professional solutions.
• Perhaps the name NEMO reminds you of something… Yes, the logo of the NEMO project - is also a paraphrase of the super-modern Nautilus vessel of the designer and captain Nemo from Jules Verne's novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", which bravely navigates the wild waters of the ocean and not only conducts scientific research, but also sophisticatedly faces the pitfalls of other ships.
• As part of the NEMO project, our stops on the imaginary waves of the sea of ​​the Czech and Slovak markets are, for example, participation in the largest construction fairs, organizing seminars for the professional public, open days of concrete plants, where we want to present our innovative strength everywhere.
