Competition for awards for innovation

15. April 2022

For the fourth time in a row, we applied for the (regional/national) competition for awards for innovation. This year's innovation is:
"Automation of the production process of aspiration catheter production"
The main goal of the innovation was to combine all assembly operations into one, to enable the production of different types of catheters with different connections, to integrate a series of 100% control operations, to eliminate intermediate stocks, to reduce electricity consumption and reduce the number of working hours per unit of product.
We succeeded in this by producing an excellent assembly line, which is also distinguished by its exceptional flexibility and sustainable orientation. The line is installed in a new clean room, which received a bronze medal in last year's inovation tender.

Relaxed weekend in Postojna Cave

02. March 2020

On the last Saturday in February, TIK employees spent a relaxing trip to Postojna. Postojna Cave is the most visited and most magnificent cave in Slovenia, and according to most it is also one of the most beautiful caves in the world. First we went to the world-famous cave by train, where the underground karst tunnels and galleries intertwine. Postojna Cave is the only karst cave with a cave railway that has been running to see stalactites and stalagmites for 140 years. We also visited part of the tour of the magical cave on foot, along beautifully landscaped and undemanding paths. The river Pivka flows through it, forming the interior of the cave for almost two million years. In an hour and a half guided tour, we got to know all the most important karst features: the largest, as high as 5 meters, the stalactite Briljant, the oldest underground post office in the world and the most famous underground animal - the human fish. Not far from Postojna Cave, we als...

60 years of knowledge for living in TIK d.o.o. marked by the opening of a new ‘clean room’

29. November 2019

TIK from Kobarid was established in 1951 as a company for the production of sewing needles. In 1959, they started producing reusable injection needles, so this year they are celebrating 60 years of manufacturing medical devices.

In addition to production, they also want to become a development company that offers technologically advanced products with high added value, all taking into account the stricter requirements of the new European MDR directive, which will enter into force in May 2020. According to director Petra Borovinšek, TIK has been investing rapidly in the modernization of its own production in recent years: "In the last three years, we have allocated more than three million euros for this.
