The global and financial crisis that broke out in late 2008 affected our company. The decline, in orders had forced us to look for new business opportunities and partners. However, investments were made even during tough times. In 2008, we built a heavy assembly hall. And in 2009, we established a new production hall in Lipany in the eastern part of Slovakia with an area of 1,000 m2.

The Technology Center uses its premises for creative construction and development of all our ideas.

We arranged for the removal and expansion of departments, which was necessary to meet all our customers’ expectations. A separate hall for the sale of material was created –the Metal Service Center. In addition to this separate hall, we had a new dispatch and warehouse system, a new Control and Quality Department and two new assembly halls used for heavy mechanical assembly. There was also a new entrance for freight transport, a new gatehouse and a parking lot for employees. The year ended with new large light logos in the halls. As part of the Smartwiel project, we designed and produced our own product – an electric battery-powered wheelbarrow.
