KÁTA CNC

What KÁTA CNC does

KÁTA CNC Kft. is a Hungarian private limited company founded in November 1997, headquartered in Szentlőrinckáta, Pest County, with a secondary production site in Jászberény acquired in 2016 and expanded in 2018. The company is a Tier 1 contract manufacturer specializing in precision CNC machining, laser cutting, and metalworking for the automotive industry, producing aluminum connectors for vehicle air-conditioning systems, bodywork components, safety components, and road vehicle and engine parts. Named customers include Parker, Siemens, Maflow, Eaton, and BorgWarner, with additional undisclosed premium OEM end-customers served via Tier 1 supply relationships.

The company's production footprint totals approximately 17,300 m² across two sites and operates a fleet of 120+ CNC machining centers, 25 hydraulic/excenter press machines, 25 CNC cutting machines, 30+ self-designed special purpose machines, and two TRUMPF fiber laser cutting systems (TRULASER 3030 FIBER 6 kW and TRULASER TUBE 7000 FIBER 4 kW). A proprietary tool management system tracks more than 1,000 custom-designed tools, predominantly PCD and hard metal. KÁTA CNC maintains an integrated management system certified to IATF 16949:2016, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, ISO 50001:2019, and ISO 27001 (covering both 2014 and 2022/2023 versions). In 2022 the company signed a cooperation agreement with MSolar Research Kft. to manufacture PV solar carport systems in Hungary, marking its first material diversification beyond automotive.

The business model is B2B contract manufacturing with quote-based unit pricing on multi-year supply agreements. Customers submit technical drawings, material specifications, and order quantities for custom pricing. The company combines direct Tier 1 supply to premium automotive OEMs with subcontracted services to Tier 1 suppliers, and layers an 800+ worker subcontractor network on top of its 101–250 direct employees to flex capacity. A 2018 R&D consortium with Óbuda University and Szent István University is developing an AI/machine-learning predictive tool monitoring system, though this remains a research-stage initiative rather than a deployed product. The company is family-owned and led by the Csányi family, with János Csányi as Executive Manager and Barbara Csányi as Executive Manager and CFO.
