ZEVETA MACHINERY a.s. is a privately held Czech mechanical engineering company headquartered in Bojkovice (Zlin region), operating as the industrial manufacturing division of the ZEVETA Bojkovice holding group. The company was originally established in 1936 and reorganized into its current holding structure in 2002, with ZEVETA MACHINERY a.s. (renamed from ZEVETA Components a.s. in 2007) being wholly owned by ZEVETA Bojkovice a.s. Its core business is contract manufacturing of metal components through deep-drawing (cold/hot-rolled, aluminum and galvanized sheets from 0.5 to 6 mm), CNC machining (milling, turning, grinding, wire electroerosion), robotic welding (five Fanuc/ABB workcells with Fronius MIG/MAG/TIG/CMT systems), surface treatment (powder coating, painting, phosphating), assembly, and in-house tool and fixture manufacture. It holds 8,000 square meters of manufacturing premises and operates pressing capacity of 3.5 million units annually on its progressive line (since 2007) plus 2.5 million units on a fully automatic pressing line (installed 2018), and a painting line with 3 million units annual capacity (2014). The company sells primarily to Tier-1 automotive customers (KNORR-BREMSE, HALDEX, MANN+HUMMEL, ZF) and industrial customers (HONEYWELL, DAIKIN), with exports to Germany, USA, France, and UAE, under a B2B quote-based pricing model. The sister division, ZEVETA AMMUNITION a.s., produces special ammunition (RPG-75-M anti-tank weapon, URG-86 hand grenades, HG-22/3.5 modernized grenade series launched 2024, smoke cartridges DGO-1/DGO-3, FLARE decoy targets) and pyrotechnic products for armed forces including the US Armed Forces (certified supplier since 2015), Czech Police, and Ukrainian Armed Forces. Quality and compliance are central to the business model: IATF 16949:2016, ISO 9001, and AQAP 2110 (ČOS 051672) certifications are maintained, alongside EU regulatory compliance for pyrotechnics.
