1991
ZAČETKI PODJETJA
It all starts in the mid-1980s in his home parish, when Thomas's father, with passion and dedication, develops the first ringing automation system. His innovation lays a solid foundation for the family business, which is officially founded in 1991, shortly after Slovenia's independence. The vision and hard work of the Klopčič family transforms the initial ideas into a successful growing company.
1995
PRVO SAMOSTOJNO VODENJE PROJEKTOV
In 1995, KRN sistemi d.o.o. reached an important milestone with the implementation of a project in Bukovica in the parish of Šentvid pri Stični. His father confidently handed over the responsibility to Tomaž, who took over the project management independently for the first time. This turning point marks the beginning of a new era for the company, where Tomaž's skills are proven and the company gains valuable experience in carrying out independent projects.
1996/97
PRVI TRIFAZNI SISTEM S FREKVENČNO REGULACIJO
In the mid-1990s, KRN sistemi d.o.o. reaches an important technological milestone. The company successfully implements its first three-phase frequency-controlled system in Tominje above Ilirska Bistrica and in the villages of Viševek and Nadlesk. This period is marked by the transition to more advanced technologies that allow more precise control of the speed and torque of the electric motors, which significantly improves the efficiency and reliability of the bell ringing. This turning point lays a strong foundation for the company's future and consolidates its reputation in the industry.
2000
TEMELJI RAZVOJA KEMBLJEV
The year 2000 brings KRN sistemi d.o.o. important projects in Ribnica and Srednja vas in Bohinj, where for the first time they face the challenge of four large bells purchased in Germany. Problems are caused by the bending blocks supplied with the bells, which have too heavy forgings and too light counterweights, and as a result the bells do not initially ring in tune, despite the high quality automation. The perseverance and innovation of the team, with the expert support of the bell expert, Prof. Dr Matjaž Ambrožič, led to the solution of the problem by a combination of increasing the counterweight and lightening the cymbal forgings, which finally enabled the bells to function properly. This experience provides the company with valuable lessons in understanding the mechanics of bells and encourages the expansion of activities from automation to the development of cymbals and the complete refurbishment of old bells.
2001
ZAČETKI SODELOVANJA Z JANEZOM MOŠKRIČEM
In 2001, KRN sistemi d.o.o. installed automation for the first time in a project in Sostro on a completely renovated bell tower, which was carried out by local craftsman Janez Moškrič. This approach, combining bell renovation and installation of automation, soon became standard in most of the company's subsequent projects. Since then, KRN sistemi d.o.o. has been working closely with JMZ, design and installation, Janez Moškrič s.p., thus consolidating its position as a leading provider of complete bell automation solutions. This partnership becomes the basis for long-term successful cooperation and the development of innovative solutions in the field of bell ringing.
2006
PRIČETEK RAZVOJA KEMBLJEV
In 2006, KRN sistemi d.o.o. reaches an important milestone with the start of development of its own clappers. This innovative step allows the company to have greater control over the quality of its products and to tailor the clappers to the specific requirements of individual projects. The development of in-house components not only strengthens the company's technological capabilities, but also significantly improves the reliability and efficiency of its ringing automation systems.

SODELOVANJE Z LIVARNAMI
Leta 2021 podjetje KRN sistemi d.o.o. razširi svojo dejavnost in postane zastopnik za prodajo in obnovo zvonov. Prvi večji projekt v tem okviru je izveden v Dravljah, kjer podjetje združi dobavo novih zvonov s prenovo zvonila. Kmalu zatem sledi še obsežnejši projekt v Vnanjih Goricah, ki vključuje temeljito obnovo zvonila s štirimi novimi zvonovi. Ti projekti označujejo pomembno širitev storitev podjetja, ki zdaj poleg avtomatizacije zvonjenja med drugim vključujejo tudi dobavo in namestitev novih zvonov ter celovito prenovo zvonil.
DANES
Danes podjetje KRN sistemi d.o.o. ostaja zvesto svojemu izhodišču – skrb za ohranjanje in razvoj zvonarske dediščine.
V več kot tridesetih letih se je naše delo razvilo v širok nabor storitev, ki poleg avtomatizacije zvonjenja vključujejo tudi prenove zvonil, dobavo in izdelavo kembljev, restavriranje ter dobavo novih in rabljenih zvonov, stolpnih ur, svetovanje in akustične analize.
Pri vsakem projektu sodelujemo s preverjenimi strokovnjaki in dolgoletnimi partnerji, kar nam omogoča prilagojene rešitve glede na posebnosti posameznega zvonika. Združujemo tehnično znanje in praktične izkušnje z željo, da bi tudi v prihodnje prispevali k ohranjanju kulture, ki povezuje skupnosti po vsej Sloveniji.
