What Tajmac Group does

Tajmac Group is a family-owned machine tool manufacturing conglomerate headquartered in Zlin, Czech Republic, with operations spanning 9 countries across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Founded before World War II by Amedeo Tajariol and now led by his son Andrea Tajariol as CEO (with third-generation family members Michele and Lorenzo Tajariol leading TAJMAC-ZPS and Manurhin K'MX respectively), the group is privately held with no public listing or external institutional investors. The group's core business is the design, production, and sale of precision metalworking equipment, including multispindle automatic lathes, Swiss-type sliding stock lathes, vertical and horizontal machining centers, plastic injection molding machines, and gantry-type machining centers, complemented by automatic bar loading systems through Cucchi-BLT and CNC sliding head lathes through Manurhin K'MX.

The group's distinguishing structural feature is its vertical integration: ZPS-Slevarna operates a foundry described as the best in Europe for machine tool basements and components, producing grey and spheroidal cast iron castings with up to 50 cores; ZPS-MECHANIKA handles sheet metal, surface treatment, and machine casings; ZPS-TRANSPORT operates a fleet of 19 DAF trucks for national and international logistics; and ZPS-GO specializes in worldwide multispindle rebuilding and retrofit services, including CE-compliant conversions of legacy machines. This integration allows total quality control from design through casting, machining, assembly, and final testing. Wickman Coventry provides aftermarket service to over 10,000 installed multispindle machines worldwide, creating a long-tail service annuity tied to the historical installed base of more than 15,000 Wickman machines.

The revenue model is primarily one-time hardware sales of capital equipment, supplemented by castings, bar loading systems, and professional services revenue from retrofit/rebuilding, transport, and metalworking contracts. Customer segmentation is horizontal across the global machine tool industry, with end users in metalworking, textile, paper, and plastic molding industries. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales through direct subsidiary presence in nine countries, trade exhibitions globally, and third-party distributors. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to customer specifications rather than publicly disclosed. Tajmac Group remains a family enterprise with no external equity, no funding rounds, and no public shareholders.
