The Intedat editorial summary complements publicly verifiable facts with additional business and industry context.
ZPS - FRÉZOVACÍ NÁSTROJE a.s. is one of the traditional engineering companies based in Zlín. It builds on the Bata engineering works and the later Závody přesného strojírenství enterprise, has existed as an independent joint-stock company since 1992 and has been owned by a group of Czech investors since 2001.
The core of its business is in-house production of milling cutters made of high-speed steels, complemented by a growing range of carbide tools and by other machining tool groups such as drills, countersinks, saws and thread cutting tools. Alongside the catalogue range, the company also produces special tools to customer specification.
From a commercial perspective, an interesting feature is the combination of three activities under one roof: tool production, metal heat treatment in the Heat Treatment Division, and contract machining and tool sharpening. Customers can therefore source both tools and follow-up services from a single supplier.
The company sells through its own e-shop and central warehouse in Zlín as well as through a network of dealers in the Czech Republic and abroad. According to its own information, its presence on European export markets is growing steadily.
