For more than 68 years, we have been creating in Loška Dolina, where the ARX division develops first-class sustainable solutions in the field of building hardware and components by modifying materials. Pristine nature, mostly surrounded by forested landscapes, inspires us as a company to be committed to a sustainable future. Throughout the year 2022, we have focused on efficiency, caring for our communities, planning for the best future, and protecting the living environment.

The most important, but unfortunately often overlooked factor that ultimately adds the most value to the functionality of windows and their long-term reliability is the quality of the window hardware.

The slogan for this year's Innovation Day, held on September 20 in Brdo pri Kranju, was "We push the boundaries with innovation". For the 20th time in a row, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia presented national awards to the most innovative companies and innovators in companies and other organisations. 7 gold, 23 silver, 12 bronze, and 3 special awards for the innovation challenge were awarded.

ARX is built on the 68-year foundation and experience of KOVINOPLASTIKA LOŽ. And it is from this knowledge that we drew inspiration for developing a range of products and innovative smart home solutions. ARX hardware is a leading supplier of high-quality window and door hardware, with products that meet the most stringent design, comfort, security, and energy efficiency standards.

In mid-July, the traditional FENSTERBAU FRONTALE trade fair took place in Nuremberg: it is one of the largest events whose product range highlights the global innovations in the field of windows, doors and facades. Every two years, architects, carpenters, manufacturers and the professional public learn about the latest trends in profile systems, glass in architecture, prefabricated materials, safety equipment, fittings, installations and many other products at this event.

On 7 June 2022, as part of the Innovation Day organised by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia, the award ceremony for the best innovations in the Primorsko-Notranjska Region 2022 took place. The Postojna Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry awarded 3 gold, 1 silver, 3 bronze and 8 awards for contribution to innovation. The 3 best regional innovations (Kovinoplastika Lož, Efos and Kolektor ATP) have also qualified for the national selection, which will take place on 20 September at the Innovation Day 2022 with the awarding of the national innovation prizes by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The ARX brand, which places the functional, reliable, and innovative experience of the uncompromising quality of window and door hardware at the forefront of its operations, will be on display once more at the FENSTERBAU FRONTALE fair from July 12 to 15, 2022.
