The tradition of the company known in the past as TOS Hulín originated in 1949 when the machinery plant began to be built in Hulín. The company had passed through several development periods of machinery manufacturing and in 1951 the company’s activity focused on manufacturing of the machine tools, especially of vertical lathes. In 1959 the company manufactured the first vertical lathe with continuous feeds and with the NC line motion control system equipped with the copying attachment. This vertical lathe was made on the base of the company’s own documentation. The well–proved vertical lathes with the automatic tool exchange performed from the tool magazine having fifteen positions were manufactured here as early as in 1974. Last updated on 27-09-2007.
