Business strategy:

To develop the company into a mid-size supplier for metal forming industry based in Europe.

Main aim is diversification and increase the sales and the customer portfolio in that „newly developed” segment. We can fund this process with cash flow and by selling surplus assets.

During implementation of our strategy, we do and will pay high attention to high quality standards, innovation and sustainability.

Investment strategy is handled on ownership level, and we do handle investment and development opportunities case by case ( no formal „budgeting process”).

Key values we have:

  • Quick and honest response to our partners – mutual respect (other’s time and life).
  • We do believe in „win-win” situations – as part of long-term strategy.
  • We believe hard and efficient work that brings result.
  • We are a good team, we help and care each other.
  • We learn and develop to meet the „newly” required standards.
  • We help to solve issues for customers from small daily issue till more demanding tasks.
