Kraftszer Kft has been present in the Hungarian industrial energy sector for about 30 years. We can state that through these 3 decades we have become a dominant and stable player on the market. The philosophy of our company and at the same time the key to our success has been the knowledge base that we have been expanding continuously from the beginning.

An environment-friendly initiative   In 2018 FŐTÁV Zrt. launched its ‘Chimney-free city’ programme to extend the existing line network as a part of the so called heat ring of district heating.

Efforts to protect our environment play an exceptionally important role in the life of all responsibly-thinking companies, as we have said in a previous article. This was reflected in the decision of Pannon Power as well, when they took responsibility for nature and the environment and began converting their coal-fired systems into biomass technology with the help of our specialised project team, being the first to do so in Hungary. Using the implemented facility, the Pécs Power Plant supplies the entire city with 100% green energy, reducing the level of environment pollution in the area.

Bence, would you tell us about how you came into contact with Kraftszer Kft? One of my good friends previously, during his university studies, performed his practical training at Kraftszer, then in the course of his later studies he also continued to work at the company. I consider it important that a university student shouldn’t acquire his knowledge just in the university classrooms, rather he should gain experience with practical things, to actually have an overview of his profession. Thanks to this I came into contact with Kraftszer through my friend.
