KOVACO, spol. s r.o. is a European manufacturer of welding positioners based in Veľká Lehota, Slovakia. It has built them since 1991 and today makes 13 types, manual and robotic, for weldments from 600 kg to 30 tonnes. Design, cutting, machining, welding, assembly and testing happen in its own hall, under an ISO 9001 quality system certified by SGS.
Most welding positioners sold in Europe carry the name of a global robot or welding brand, and the smaller specialists rarely appear in a search. KOVACO is one of them: a family manufacturer that has built positioners in the same Slovak village since 1991 and still designs, cuts, machines, welds and tests them in its own hall. That is worth knowing if you need a size between catalogue steps, a special table, or somebody to call who drew the machine.
