About ZOLMAT
What we cannot see, we calculate.
Since 1991 ZOLMAT has been laying pipes and cables where an open trench is impossible or not worth digging.
About us
Our own rigs, our own people, one source.
Since 2004 horizontal directional drilling has been the backbone of the company. Over that time we have built our own fleet, a proven survey routine and a team that still operates the rigs itself. Many of our drillers have been with us for more than ten years.
We do not hire in rigs or wait for other people’s equipment. Rig, drilling fluid, tracking, transport and crew all come from one source. That keeps the schedule in our hands and gives you a single contact for the whole crossing, from route survey to documented handover.
We work as a subcontractor for main contractors, as a partner for network operators and municipalities, and we also provide rigs with a driller for your project.

Our story
From a two-man business to fourteen rigs.
- 1991
The beginning
Imre Varga runs a two-man business carrying out utility and infrastructure work with soil displacement hammers, using what was then a modern trenchless method.
- 1996
New management
His younger son Zoltán Varga takes over. Thanks to his customer focus and his contacts in Germany, the small garage business quickly outgrows itself.
- 1999
ZOLMAT is founded
The owners found ZOLMAT and have kept putting the most modern machines and the best trained specialists to work ever since.
- 2004
Directional drilling
Horizontal directional drilling becomes the backbone of the company. From here our own fleet and proven survey routine take shape.
- 2009
A real company
At its tenth anniversary ZOLMAT broadens its services and, thanks to satisfied clients, grows into a serious company.
- 2015
More services
Plastic pipe welding and plant hire join pipe laying, and the fleet grows to seven directional drilling rigs and several soil displacement hammers.
- Today
Fourteen rigs of our own
With fourteen directional drilling rigs, our own trucks and our own drilling crews we work in Hungary and six more European countries.
Our rigs know no borders.
From our base in Budakeszi our crews now work regularly beyond Hungary’s western border. We speak Hungarian, German and English, on site and in the office.
