New ZETOR tractor body coating process: quality, durability and sustainability

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the quality and performance of our products, we have come up with a new process that ensures our tractors are even better looking, durable and environmentally friendly. As part of our drive for efficiency and sustainability, we have decided to outsource the painting of tractor body parts. The coating is now provided by ZDT Nové Veselí, which uses high-quality coating materials from the renowned Mankiewicz company.

Why external coating?

This step allowed us to achieve several significant advantages:

• Energy and space savings - The external partnership freed up space for production and increased the efficiency of internal processes by optimising the layout of the production hall.
   
• Environmental sustainability - The use of modern coating systems reduces energy consumption and material consumption, minimising our environmental footprint.
   
•  Modernisation and innovation - A new partner allows us to use more modern processes and materials.
   
• Reducing the burden on Brno Líšeň - Body coating is one of the most demanding processes, so relocating outside the Líšeň plant will improve the environment in the immediate surroundings.

What does the new coating system bring?

The Monolyer coating system from Mankiewicz combines primer and topcoat in one step, saving application time, material consumption, and providing high weather and corrosion resistance. This system increases the life of tractor bodies, is ideal for harsh working conditions, protects the machine in aggressive environments, and also contributes to environmental protection. It is durable, meeting the corrosion resistance requirements of the world's leading manufacturers of agricultural equipment. Last but not least, by switching from matt to gloss, we have responded to the wishes of our customers, who will benefit from improved tractor maintenance and washing.
