Employees who became owners
The history of the production plant in Vizovice goes back before ROSTRA was founded. In 2000 it was bought by its then employees — the current owners — who built on the local tradition of engineering manufacturing.
Knowledge of the environment and production experience became the basis for the company's further development. This was followed by investment in new halls, modern technology and the expansion of the production capabilities of the tool shop and the press shop.
Today, this history is carried on by two specialised companies of the ROSTRA group — ROSTRA Tools and ROSTRA Stamping. They share a production site in Vizovice, expertise and cooperation from tool design through to series production of sheet metal parts.
