History

1969
The company KOČEVAR d.o.o., with the original name ELEKTROMEHANIKA – VARILNA TEHNIKA, was founded in the year of 1969, when a perspective engineer Mr. Jože Kočevar, with a small investment began with the development and production of welding power supplies.

1970-1979
The Yugoslavian market required large quantities of arc welding and resistance welding machines, so the company grew at a fast rate. By the end of the decade, the privately owned company had 25 employees and was expanding its range of products.

1980-1989
From 1984 onwards the company began manufacturing its first machine for micro-spot capacitor discharge welding. Our machines for micro resistance welding were being perfected in functionality and user friendliness from year to year.

1990-1999
After 1990’s, our company, named KOČEVAR & THERMOTRON at the time, turned to the European markets. From the mass oriented production we turned to tailor made machines and solutions with a greater focus on quality. Our design team developed our first machine for transversal and longitudinal seam welding and later a machine for butt and flash-butt welding. Beside the standard production, we began producing custom pedestal resistance welding machines and seam welding machines for our clients with specific requirements.

2000-2009
In the new millennium our developing department was focusing especially on safety at work with our projection and seam welding machines. Later an automotive grade resistance pedestal welders where introduced to OEM, Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers. These two were to be our trademark in the next century as the second generation of the family takes the lead of the company.

2010-2019
Newly developed machines, engineered and produced by company KOČEVAR d.o.o. are composed of high quality components, precisely produced using the newest technology and innovative solutions. Following trends in the railway industry, our team developed custom lightweight robot welding guns with a large arm length and high welding force. Our welding machines are Industry 4.0 compatible and ready for Welding Automation.
