History
In 2008 we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the foundation of the plant aimed at bearings production in Kysucké Nové Mesto, being the predecessor of the present OMNIA KLF, a.s. production plant. Innumerable quantity of experience collected during this period creates a great competitive advantage in comparison with other plants, and represents especially a dependable power for our partners.
However, it is told that history itself has not closed any deal yet.
Therefore, it is our primary goal to create such conditions in the future to decrease the operating costs and environment load, and thereby successfully satisfy our customers’ needs.
