It was my dream to have my own company and I am glad that I managed to turn it into reality. Throughout my life I have gained valuable experience that has given me the knowledge of how to run a business proactively with a customer focus.

Metal fabrication has deep roots in my family, going back to my great-great-grandfather who had his own forge and made his living in metal fabrication. Unfortunately his workshop was nationalised and so it was not possible to continue his business. Nevertheless, the tradition of metalworking in our family has continued for generations and I am now happy to have been able to build on it and start my own business where, although we have switched to modern machinery, we still honour handwork and craftsmanship. In my company we combine tradition with modern technology to achieve excellent quality.

I've been into mechanical things since I was a kid, especially inspired by road motorcycle racing. I have been involved in this sport since I was ten years old. I started in minibike racing and gradually worked my way up to the big circuits to the 600cc class. During my career I have achieved several Czech Championship titles and participated in European Championship races. These experiences have taught me not only to achieve my goals, but also to work hard to achieve them and always see each project through to the end. Together with my father we repaired our motorcycle. I wanted to understand how things worked and that led me to study engineering.

After graduating, I started working in a technology company where I gained over 10 years of experience first as an operations technologist and later as a senior technologist. I interacted with customers, managed projects and introduced new products and technologies.

Our vision is to provide custom manufacturing at the highest level. We want to continue to focus on machining and locksmithing to create unique products. We want to continuously develop and be inspired by new trends in order to provide our customers with optimal solutions and the widest possible service. We want to build lasting relationships with our partners and help each other to succeed.
