New Welding Shop: An Investment in the Company’s Future and Independence
New Welding Shop: An Investment in the Company’s Future and Independence
This natural development has also brought a fundamental shift in our approach to machine design: modular frames have gradually given way to robust welded steel structures that better withstand the requirements of modern high‑speed operations.
Steel structures have thus become the backbone of the machines and production lines we supply to our customers. And that is precisely why we decided to invest in the ability to manufacture them entirely in‑house — faster, more efficiently, and without dependence on external suppliers.
Why was the change necessary?
The original welding shop — approximately 10 × 6 meters with a height of only 3 meters — simply no longer met our capacity or technical needs. Larger weldments could not be handled safely or efficiently in such conditions.
Daily reality looked like this: frames had to be moved outside in front of the locksmith workshop, where workers attempted to rotate and reposition them using handling equipment. However, this area also served as a parking lot for company vehicles and as a handling zone for the warehouse. The result was constant organizational chaos and unnecessary complications.
Additional issues added to the problem: the workshop’s rolling doors did not allow entry for a forklift, welding operations gradually damaged the new asphalt surface, and during summer months, noise from grinders disturbed employees in the administrative building.
For larger structures, we therefore relied partly on cooperation with external partners. However, this solution was costly and insufficient in terms of capacity — especially considering the increasing workload of our welding shop.
New space, new possibilities, new independence
The solution was clear: relocate the welding shop to a significantly larger and better‑equipped space. And that is exactly what we did.
The new welding shop features a workspace with an overhead crane and large doors that allow easy access for handling equipment. This represents a major step forward — not only in terms of production efficiency, but above all in terms of safety when working with heavy weldments.
The project also included several other important upgrades and investments:
- Modern LED lighting for improved working conditions
- Connection to the heating system of the administrative building
- Repair and inspection of the existing crane, including a structural assessment of the building
- Training selected employees in crane operation, rigging, and equipment handling
- Reinforcement of the assembly pit to safely withstand forklift handling with loads
What does this mean for us?
The results speak for themselves. Thanks to the new welding shop, we are now able to fully cover the production of steel structures with our own resources — without the need for external cooperation, without unnecessary delays, and without additional costs.
This investment is not just about new square meters. It is a clear statement about the direction we are taking as a company: we aim to be self‑sufficient, flexible, and ready for the projects that lie ahead.
