At the Mach-Tech Industry Days & Automotive exhibition, thousands of curious visitors were keen to see the newest innovations of the domestic and international industry. The star of the Losonczi Innovation stand was clearly our Mach-Tech Grand Prix winner AXIS PRO measuring device served by a robot, but the separate control unit of our MASTER measuring machine family called the Master Box was likewise a great success with the crowd. At our stand, visitors could also observe our special gear measuring equipment, which is suitable for in-process measurement of all manufactured gears and can be easily adjusted. Conveniently, all our measuring instruments run with our self-developed METRIX control program. Among our smaller products, those interested could view various collets and indexable cutting tools.

What do you need for a successful generational change?

Successful generational change 2021 – Losonczi Innovation Kft. At the tool manufacturing company founded in 1995, the second generation now has a place in management. According to István Losonczi, the company manager, the change did not go without minor dents. “At first, it was hard for everyone to find their role in the new structure, to strike a balance so that we can work effectively as a company management team as well as a family,” he says, while also knowing that his parents didn’t have an easy task. “It’s not easy to let go of the control as a parent and as a business leader, you need a lot of trust in your children.” Fortunately, this was the case with Losonczi Innovation, and the change was good for the company overall. “We got the necessary space from our parents to develop, an opportunity to bring new perspectives and ideas into the company. The parents successfully passed on their knowledge, and the second generation made good use of what they learned from them, thus forming a well-functioning partnership in the management of the company,” explains István Losonczi. This will also be needed if the company is to meet the challenges posed by industry 4.0 and the transformation of the automotive industry, but its progress is already shown by the fact that AXIS PRO – the first member of their new PRO product family – received in 2021 the Special Purpose Machine of the Year award. And for its design, it won a special award, confirming that it was not in vain that the company had recently devoted significant resources to the design of their machines in addition to its internal values.

The EMO Milano 2021 exhibition was once again attended by a large number of visitors from all over the world, who were curious about what innovations and technological developments the more than 700 exhibiting companies had showcased. True to tradition, the largest tool and machine industry companies were all represented in the 6 halls, covering 100,000 m2 of total exhibition area. The exhibition was a major milestone in the life of Losonczi Innovation, as for the first time we were able to join the international community showcasing the latest metalworking trends and innovative technologies as a co-exhibitor at a joint stand with NCT Ipari Elektronikai Kft.

The more than 3,500 exhibited machines, the total value of which exceeded half a billion euros, represented the pinnacle of the metalworking industry, and we are proud that our AXIS PRO measuring device was one of them.

The Mach-Tech Industry Days and Automotive exhibition re-opened its doors after 3 years, on May 10 2022, where the Mach-Tech Grand Prix Awards were also ceremoniously presented.
István Losonczi, managing director of tour company, received the Mach-Tech Grand Prix for our AXIS PRO measuring device from Dr. László György, Minister of State for Economic Strategy and Regulation of the Ministry for Innovation and Technology, Gábor Ganczer, CEO of HUNGEXPO Zrt. and Dr. János Takács, president of the Scientific Society for Mechanical Engineering. Following the ceremony, the prestigious award giving company also visited our stand to see the four-time award-winning measuring machine in person.

Our AXIS Pro measuring machine has won another award! Our application received special recognition at the gala of the 30th Hungarian Innovation Award 2021. The award was presented by Dr. Zoltán Birken, President of the National Office for Research, Development and Innovation, to our founder & CEO, István Losonczi, and to our managing director, Jr. István Losonczi.
It is a great honour for us to receive the special recognition for successful innovation in such an illustrious company!
