GROWTH
CKD Blansko Strojirny, situated in Blansko, Czech Republic, is a
company with a long and rich tradition, first-class design welding
and metal-working abilities and highly experienced staff. It is also
very competitive with regards to costs and, as it is medium sized,
it is much more flexible than most of its largest competitors, being
able to respond to the very specific niche requirements of its customers.
he companys core business is the
hydro industry, mainly the design and
production of water turbines and equipment for water energetics. The second very
important part of CKD Blansko Strojirnys
business is the development, design and
manufacturing of heavy-duty vertical lathes.
The third and smallest sector is the production of machined weldments. All its products
are manufactured and customised according
to the customers specific requirements.
The companys history goes back as far
as the 17th century when, in 1698, the
owner of the Blansko manor, the Count of
Gelhorns, established the first iron mill in
the Punkva river valley. In 1766 the noble
house of the Salms-Reifferscheidts bought
the iron works in Blansko. Since that time
the iron production has been continuously
expanded new machines, working procedures and the latest scientific achievements have been incorporated. In 1896
the Salms sold the iron and machine works
to the joint-stock company Strojirny
(Engineering works), formerly BreitfeldDanek. At this time a new engineering
plant with its own foundries was built.
In 1927 the Blansko plant became part
of the Czech-Moravian-Kolben-Danek
concern and began specialising in the
production of water, mill, food and wood
processing machines. In 1950 the company
46 Industry Europe
was nationalised and the national enterprise CKD Blansko was established.
Since that period, the plant has been specialising in the production of water turbines,
heavy vertical lathes and machinery metallurgy. In 1991 the firm was privatised,
giving birth to the joint-stock company
CKD Blansko, which was renamed CKD
Blansko Strojirny in 2001. The owner of
the company is the J&T investment fund,
which has a very strong position in the
energy industry.
Bright prospects
300MW and other hydro equipment, the
company can take care of the whole
turnkey delivery process from beginning to
end. First the profile of the hydraulic turbine
is developed in the laboratories, next the
technical documentation is set up by the
designers and finally the turbine and its
accessories are manufactured and installed.
The vertical lathes, more than 1000 of
which have been sold all over the world
up to now, have been produced in CKD
Blansko Strojirny for approximately 60 years,
when production was moved there from
Skoda Plzen during the Cold War. They are
the largest lathes the company produces,
can be used for metal-working products
weighing up to 450 tons and are manufactured by only six companies in the world.
Providing services
After the equipment has been installed, the
company provides comprehensive services to its customers. CKD Blansko
Strojirny installs the product, puts it into
operation and provides customer support.
If malfunctions occur, they are solved by
an expert employed by the company. If
the malfunction occurs in a more remote
place and is a minor one, the service is
done by a local company which has an
agreement with CKD Blansko Strojirny to
provide this service.
However, these are not the only services
the company provides to its customers.
Recently it has started offering services
such as the maintenance and repair of
vertical lathes produced by itself or by
DSB Euro has rich and long-term tradition and good experience in
metallurgical production of grey cast iron, carbon and alloyed steel and
nodular cast iron. Another activities are pattern-shop production and testing
and analysis of materials. We have a lot of experiences in domestic market
and strong cooperation with companies in European market.
