What Toshulin does

TOSHULIN, a.s. is a privately held Czech industrial engineering company founded in 1949 in Hulín (formerly TOS Hulín) that manufactures CNC vertical turning lathes and multifunctional machining centres for mid- to large-sized workpieces with table diameters from 800 mm to 4,000 mm. The product portfolio comprises four core machine series — POWERTURN, BASICTURN, EXPERTURN, and FORCETURN — supplemented by the proprietary EXPERTURN 1400 S and 1400 C railway wheel machines, plus automated manufacturing systems (FMS), a semi-automated production cell, and an automated pallet-exchange system. Key technical differentiators include Master-Slave drive configuration, optional hydrostatic guidance, multi-axis tool heads (B/C/Y-head), remote diagnostics with over 90% problem-solving efficiency, and digital twin capability for the railway wheel line; controls are sourced from Siemens or Fanuc.

The company serves enterprise customers across aerospace, railway, electric power, defense, mining, shipbuilding, and mechanical engineering, with a named aerospace customer (Rolls-Royce) and an installed base of more than 13,000 machines in 72 countries. Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) hardware sales of highly customized, quote-based CNC machine tools; (2) authorized service, spare parts, and remote diagnostics across the machine lifetime; and (3) major factory overhauls and on-site modernization (control system retrofits for older SKIQ, SKA, POWERTURN machines), plus contract manufacturing (Kooperace) leveraging 70% in-house component production.

Distribution runs through a direct sales organization with regional managers covering Europe, North America, and Asia, a global dealer network with a secured partner portal, and active participation in trade fairs including BIEMH, EMO Hannover, WIME, and CIMT. The company operates a wholly owned representative office in Nanjing, China, is a member of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, and completed a formal merger with sister entity TOS Kuřim – OS, a.s. in August 2025 to consolidate production and sales. It is certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 50001:2019 by Bureau Veritas as of March 2026.
