New Background for Further Growth

Valk Welding started work in the V4 region (CZ,PL,SK,HU) in 2004. His main motivation was to

provide support to its existing customers. In 2004, with the help of the first two employees, this

activity was launched.

Historical excursion

It was clear from the start that all activities would have

to be built step by step. In 2005, Valk Welding rented

his first office in Ostrava, which had an area of exactly

100 m2. The first robot necessary to provide training

had to be moved through the window, as it would not

pass through the door. As the years have passed, both

the team and the spectrum have grown, and with it the

amount of services provided. In 2009, Valk Welding in

the Czech Republic moved to the rented premises at

the Ostrava airport in Mosnov. At the time, this meant

a considerable quantitative leap in the hinterland,

which suddenly grew to 600 m2 of area. However, due

to the increasing number of activities, even this space

soon became small, so by the end of 2011 it had to be

doubled by acquiring a building close to the existing

one, thus increasing the area to 1200 m2 and allowing for

full-fledged trade in consumables, especially welding

wire.

Continuous growth

In 2016, it became clear that, thanks to the rapid

growth in all industries, in which Valk Welding

competed strongly in the V4 region due to its highquality products and services (among others, a Polish

branch with its own employees was established

in this time), even this space would soon become

unsatisfactory. In 2017, therefore, a plot of land was

purchased in the nearby village of Paskov (also in the

Ostrava region) and a completely new building was

70 ǀ POSITIV 2/2021

constructed that would allow the entire team of almost

20 people to operate and will provide a reserve for

a planned expansion in the future.

In 2019, this building was built and at the end of 2019

and 2020 all Valk Welding activity in the region was

transferred to this building. On more than 3,500 m2 of

floor space on a plot of almost one hectare, we can

now offer you a very good understanding for what

we do and what our passion is. We invent, design,

implement, assemble and train robotic welding

systems, then make sure everything works and

continues making you happy and bringing you the

benefits for which you acquired them. This is our new

building in Paskov. Here you will find the necessary

office space, generous equipment for training and

also for carrying out demonstrations and tests, storage

space as well as an assembly hall in which the first

robotic systems have already been assembled and

delivered to end users.

The whole building is designed to allow

development in the next few years, during which

we expect the number of employees to grow

from the current state to about thirty-five or

forty people. The newly built hall will suitably

complement the capacities that Valk Welding

now has across Europe and we believe that it will

enable us to continue to improve all the activities

that we provide to our customers.
