Workroom Plastic D.O.O

Smo razvojno-proizvodno podjetje na področju razvoja produktov in brizganja plastike. Poleg kapacitet za brizganje plastike tesno sodelujemo tudi z orodjarno, ki ima več desetletij izkušenj z izdelavo orodij za brizganje plastike in pločevine, pretežno za avtomobilsko industrijo, pa tudi za elektro industrijo, industrijo bele tehnike, itd. Lastne brizgalne kapacitete smo vzpostavili pred tremi leti in trenutno razpolagamo s stroji z zapiralnimi silami med 150T in 450T. Ker se zavedamo močne konkurence in želimo kupcem ponuditi nekaj več, v zadnjem času namenjamo precej pozornosti tudi razvoju produktov. V zadnjih letih smo do produkcije spravili kar nekaj produktov – to pomeni od samega koncepta do tehničnega detajliranja. Izdelali smo tudi prototipe (3d tisk, silikonska mulitiplikacija) in speljali projekt vse do serijske produkcije. Naša ključna prednost je, da pod eno streho združujemo ključne kompetence, ki so potrebne za nastanek in serijsko proizvodnjo kakovostnega izdelka – torej produktno-razvojno znanje, orodjarske kompetence in pa proizvodne zmogljivosti.

Inštitut Za Proučevanje Enakosti Spolov Gender Equality Research Institute

Naša vizija S pomočjo interaktivnih aktivnosti vzpostavljati možnosti za družbo, ki bo v celoti presegla ovire zaradi dimenzij spolov, doseči spremembe v obstoječih družbenih vzorcih in z inovativnimi rešitvami in predlogi doprinesti k družbenemu napredku. Zakaj? Spol je osebna okoliščina, neodtujljiv del slehernega posameznika. V vsakem družbenem kontekstu predstavniki posameznega spola predstavljajo približno polovico članov družbe – noben spol ni zastopan v manjšini! Zaradi družbenih pričakovanj in tradicionalnih praks pa lahko pogosto stoji na poti pri doseganju ciljev posameznikov – bodisi kot okoliščina privilegija, blažja ovira ali celo sredstvo popolnega onemogočanja. Za učinkovit družbeni napredek je potrebno vključiti vse ljudi, zato spol – takšen ali drugačen – v 21. stoletju ne sme več predstavljati preprek. Kako? IPES ozavešča in izobražuje mlade in širšo javnost o mnogih aspektih (ne)enakosti spolov. Enakost spolov razumemo kot sklop enakih možnosti, za ženske in moške, ki obsega vsakršno udejstvovanje v javnem ali zasebnem življenju. Prav tako morajo uživati enako prepoznavnost in si deliti enako moč. Obenem je nujna odsotnost stereotipnih predstav in diskriminacije. Enakosti spolov nikakor ne enačimo z istostjo spolov, ki bi namigovala na podobnosti med ženskami in moškimi, temveč jo utemeljujemo na sprejemanju razlik oziroma drugačnosti med ženskami in moškimi ter enakem vrednotenju teh razlik in različnih družbenih vlog. Kdo? Aktivnosti IPES so primarno namenjene ozaveščanju širše družbe, sicer pa sta naši večji fokusni skupini tudi podjetja zasebnega sektorja (področje korporativne družbene odgovornosti) in mladi. Tematiko enakosti spolov mladim (posameznice posamezniki med 15. in 29. letom) predstavljamo na njim razumljiv način ter preko področij življenja, ki so jim najbližje.
