REGION
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.
