The Modern

Engineering Company

ISMM Continues to Grow

The company is expanding its services for customers, creating new jobs, investing in the expansion

of space and machinery, and looking for other acquisition opportunities.

Mr. Cváček, you recently announced the opening

of a new powder coating plant in Město

Albrechtice. What specifically led your company

to the idea of building this?

The main reason was the expansion of existing powder

coating capacities, which has long been of great

interest among our customers. Although we already

have this technology at the plant in Štítina, and there is

already a smaller powder coating plant at the plant in

Albrechtice, we still had the need to paint some larger

products externally. Thanks to the new coating plant,

which allows us to paint parts up to seven meters long,

we can limit all outsourcing of this technology and will

paint our products in-house. In the long term, we are

able to realize certain savings while at the same time we

now have complete control over the final quality of our

products.

How many jobs will ISMM create through this plant?

Two-shift operations are planned; five new jobs will be

created on each shift, so we will hire ten new workers

in total. From our point of view, this is an advantage of

locating the new technology in the Město Albrechtice,

because the local labor market is not so depleted

compared to the plants in Jistebník or Štítina, and we

manage to find new employees relatively easily.

In the year since our last interview, you managed to

make an investment worth 35 million CZK. What

investments are you planning in the near term, say in

the next two years?

Currently, for example, we expanded the machinery of

our other company ISMM & Jan Bacho in Dívčí Hrad,

namely a new CNC lathe and two press brakes and

the new investment reached 8 million crowns. As for

the flagship engineering company ISMM, in May we

started the construction of a new welding plant and

primary production hall in Štítína, this investment is

planned for around 30 million crowns. The hall should

be in full operation next spring. Independently of these

events, we also constantly monitor the market situation

and look for a suitable acquisition opportunity to expand

the portfolio of ISMM Group companies.

Mr. Cváček, thank you for the interview.
