In cooperation with the development centre and laboratories of Roca Sanitario, two assembly lines for the production of faucets were put into operation in Znojmo in 2011. Thus, LAUFEN CZ has signifi cantly expanded its range of bathroom equipment made by its own production. The beginnings of bathroom fi xture production in the family fi rm Roca of Spain date back to the 1950s. Roca faucets, currently ranking among the highest-quality and most demanded products in this market segment, feature anumber of patented technologies and are exported worldwide. The means of production in the Znojmo plant include semi-automatic lines for faucet assembly, with acapacity of up to 220,000. The assembly of each piece is subject to the most stringent quality checks, starting with the proper inspection of components prior to the manufacturing process. The production process always includes laser engraving of the JIKA logo on faucet handles and hand showers. The quality control departme perfor s inspecons of all component delieries by means of e most up-to-dae tools, such as the X-Ray Fischerscope to measure the thickness of individual layers of galvanized surfaces and to determine the composition of faucet body base material; aprofi le projector to measure the details of the tiniest components; various gauges; and last but not least, asalt-spray cabinet to simulate extreme conditions for materials being used. Each faucet is checked by means of an air-testing device; in addition, randomly selected samples are subject to the water test. The quality of our products is indisputable, which is why an extended warranty is provided for most of them.
