Kovotvar has been producing accessories for the garden and home with a simple and functional design since 1953. Production at their workshop in Kúty, Slovakia, has remained entirely artisanal. Kovotvar products require little maintenance; they are extremely sturdy, watertight, and last for a very, very long time.
The Top’la cooperative was founded in 1953 in Kúty, Slovakia, by wheelwrights, carpenters, and blacksmiths. In 1964, it became the KOVOTVAR company by merging with other local cooperatives, expanding and broadening its scope of activities by taking over the production of galvanized products and the modernization of zinc furnaces.
During the communist era, Kovotvar Kúty supplied the entire Slovak population with galvanized buckets and watering cans. Today, these home and garden accessories, with their simple, practical, and timeless design, have remained unchanged.
Manufacturing has remained entirely artisanal; while competitors coat their products with zinc on automated lines, in Kúty it is done by hand, always in pursuit of the highest manufacturing quality.
Long service life and low costs make hot-dip galvanizing the most economical method of protecting steel against corrosion, and zinc coating reduces energy consumption.
Unlike traditional industrial varnishes, the paints used in the form of electrostatic powder avoid the use of chemical solvents and release very few volatile compounds, both of which are dangerous to health and the environment. They allow for the creation of items suitable for indoor use, objects adapted for food contact, or children's toys. It is highly resistant to moisture, UV rays, corrosion, impacts, scratches, etc. It offers an excellent lifespan and requires only minimal maintenance.
It is for all these reasons that Kovotvar products are extremely healthy, solid, completely watertight, and last for a very, very long time.
