Innovation

Robinia Hungary Holding is registered in ESA STAR, the European Space Agency’s supplier registration system.

Payment reference for your transfer: Támogatás RobiniaSat-1 (Hungarian for “Support RobiniaSat-1”) Bank details ↓

Support is a voluntary donation, not payment for a product or service, so no invoice is issued. The thank-you items listed for each level are given voluntarily. You will find our bank details in the footer. After your transfer, please send us a short email so that we can send you our thank-you.

Support is not an investment: it carries no equity, return or revenue share. The project is at the research stage (TRL 1–3), and support does not guarantee that the satellite will reach orbit.

Quality & compliance

Documented origin, recognised material

Sustainable origin with an official certificate, on request

On request, we obtain a current official certificate (hatósági bizonyítvány) from the forestry authority of the county government office, confirming that the timber of the given harvest comes from sustainable forest management under the Hungarian Forest Act (Act XXXVII of 2009). Issued in Hungarian and English.

Hungarikum

Hungarian black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) has been part of the Collection of Hungarikums since 2014. Planted in Hungary since 1710, it now makes up nearly a quarter of the country’s forests. It is an outstanding bee pasture: Hungarian acacia honey is a Hungarikum too. Its durable wood becomes vineyard stakes, fence and playground poles, garden furniture, parquet and barrels – and the tree belongs to the Hungarian landscape, its folk songs and poetry.

Supporting EUDR due diligence

The per-harvest official certificate of origin supports our customers’ due diligence under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR); log-level RFID identification will soon complement it.
