Our success story continues
The construction of our own vertical lathe has been a success since the beginning, with the first models already setting the bar in this industry.
The sale of vertical lathes could be continued with other partners in order to continue to exist in the market.
In addition to the lathes, we were able to start sales for boring mill manufacturer Lazzati from Italy.
The sale of our own lathes intensified our activities in India and the Middle East, where we were able to gain some new customers.
Since then we have had a partner for sales and service in Türkiye.
The Otto Fuchs company in Hungary was won back as a customer after more than 10 years.
As a result, we were also able to win the company BBS Motorsport as a customer for our lathe, which produces the most exclusive racing wheels on our machine.
At the same time, we broke new ground and designed and built the first hybrid lathes for high-gloss turning of aluminum wheels. With these machines we have immediately caught up with the world leaders in this segment.
The new customer, the Brock company in Jajce, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is convinced of the quality and reliability of the machines, which we delivered as a turnkey solution including automation.
Regardless of the successes over the last 10 years, with the positive experience of the polishing lathe, we decided to redesign the successful model of our lathe from scratch. We look forward to the presentation in summer 2024 to continue the success story.
