Production

At the company’s headquarters in Jinočany, the business and project execution activities, development of special valves, engineering, and testing are centralized. Production activities are carried out in two regions.

Ostrava Facility

This is where the production, assembly, pressure testing, and special valve testing are concentrated. The facility is equipped with horizontal and vertical machining centers, welding units, heat treatment devices, and test benches.

Facility address: Vratimovská 624/11, 718 00 Ostrava – Kunčičky

Reconstruction and Modernization of the Ostrava Production Plant – 2024

In the first quarter of 2024, we initiated an extensive reconstruction of our Ostrava production plant, aiming to set new standards of quality and reliability in the market through a thorough modernization of our facilities.

We expect this major transformation to be potentially completed by the end of November or early December 2024, when we will be ready to introduce our customers to a new era of quality and performance. Below you can find visualizations of our new modern production plant.

Progress of the Reconstruction (as of September 2024)

Our production hall is undergoing extensive modernization, which will provide our customers with greater reliability, higher quality, and faster production. We are replacing the old floor surface with a durable epoxy coating, which not only makes maintenance easier but also gives the hall a modern and clean appearance – ideal for efficient and safe work.

By removing partitions between halls, we were able to install a new overhead crane, significantly improving material handling, and expand space for machining equipment, allowing for a smoother and more efficient production process. The result is an optimization of each step of the production flow and the ability to respond more quickly to our customers’ needs.

The reconstruction also includes other improvements, such as a new coating for ceilings, walls, and columns, brand-new lighting for a better working environment, modern electrical installations, and new air distribution systems with an efficient compressor. We have also built a clean assembly area, primarily intended for nuclear energy applications, and completely renovated offices, warehouses, and employee facilities. We believe that a modern environment will support productivity and comfort for our teams, which will be reflected in the quality of services for our customers.
Since September, we have also rented an additional hall near our plant, where we are relocating our finished goods warehouse. This step increases production space so we can further expand our machining capacity and ensure deliveries even amid increasing demand.

Innovation and Modernization of Equipment

We are investing in both facilities and cutting-edge technological equipment that enables us to meet the most demanding requirements. We have acquired a specially designed painting booth and completely refurbished a high-pressure testing facility, equipped with the latest online system for process recording and analysis.

We have also expanded our IT infrastructure and acquired a new forklift, hand welders, a washing box, and other equipment that enhances our efficiency.

This fall, we will commission two new multifunctional horizontal machining centers, fully equipped for maximum productivity and precision.

We have modernized CAD/CAM software, implemented an automated tool and equipment dispensing system (toolbox), and introduced an enhanced information system. As part of the Industry 4.0 program, we are implementing 3D measurement to ensure even better quality control of our products, as well as data collection and analysis from machining. Our goal is not only to produce more but to produce better – with maximum emphasis on quality and customer satisfaction.

Investing in the Future

And we’re not stopping there. In 2025, we plan further investments, including two new machining centers, pressure benches for shut-off valves, a blasting box for surface preparation before painting, and other state-of-the-art technologies. These investments will allow us to stay ahead of the competition and provide our customers with innovative solutions that help them succeed in the market.

A Reliable Partner for Industrial and Nuclear Projects

This entire reconstruction is part of our commitment to providing our customers with the highest quality and sufficient production capacities to meet the most demanding requirements, whether in traditional industrial sectors or in conventional and nuclear energy. Our vision is to become your reliable partner who understands your needs and offers top-quality products and services.

We look forward to welcoming you to our modernized plant after the reconstruction is complete and presenting new opportunities for collaboration. We look forward to future successes together with you.

Ostrava 29.11.2024: status of the reconstruction of the production plant

Dear customers, we would like to inform you that the reconstruction of the production plant in Ostrava is entering its final phase. Currently, all production operations are in operation. New floors in the production areas, crane tracks, lights, power distribution, painting and a functional new warehouse for valves and semi-finished products and new offices are complete. The production plant operation is restored to more than 90%.

The incoming material inspection is equipped with two VANTA devices to check the chemical analysis of the supplied materials.

Production and Design development department use Solid works, Solid Cam and Solid flow software and others as a tools for the valves design and machines programming.

The machining hall has been equipped with two new TREVISAN DS600 and GT350 machining centers. These are five-axis machining centers that will ensure the efficiency of the production of the main parts of the valves.

A fully monitored high-pressure test room for pressures up to 1000 bar has been put into operation.

The welding shop is also in full operation, including manual welding, automatic welding, and heat treatment.

The paint shop, including all necessary equipment, has also been relocated to the newly renovated premises.

The final phase of the plant reconstruction will be completed in January. The final moves of some remaining equipment and its installation, clearance and final marking of areas and floors will take place.

The goal of this extensive reconstruction is to provide you, our customers, with quality products and to continue to be a reliable supplier for you.
