About us
We are ZAMET. A 100% Czech family-owned business that focuses on high-precision and specialised engineering production. We've been at it for over a quarter of a century and in that time we have overcome many obstacles and challenges. Since our beginnings, we have been focusing mainly on complex engineering projects, and we also have our own production range of clamping devices. We can crack even the most difficult problems.
Complex and difficult projects and challenges are our passion. Our track record speak for itself. High-precision and specialised engineering manufacturing is the area where the entire ZAMET brand feels most at home. We make our experience and expertise count in successful implementations that our customers expect. With our components, we make the world of engineering machinery more convenient and more efficient.
Our main goal is to keep on consolidating and expanding our company's position in Central Europe, to penetrate the most demanding sectors of the engineering industry and to continue to pursue our company's strategy, which is to supply our customers with the most technologically demanding production outputs according to their requirements, where we can fully exploit our blend of top technology with the engineering skills, experience and dexterity of our operators.
History and Evolution of the Company
The company's history dates back to the 1990s, when it consecutively underwent several organisational and ownership changes until it reached its current form in 2001. Originally, it was launched with only 15 employees and without any assets of its own. Currently, the company operates two plants in Nový Hrozenkov and two further subsidiaries located in Halenkov and Huslenky, Czech Republic. The ZAMET company is also a major regional employer, providing jobs for almost 400 people.
It also has its own production range of clamping devices, which, in addition to factory sales, provides flexibility and speed in the matter of in-house technological preparation of production of demanding parts, which enables the creation of fixtures for its smooth running. The company's strategy is based on long-term close collaboration with several major business partners both at home and abroad. The long-term goals of the company are to build a strong and, above all, stable enterprise, to maintain and expand its presence in domestic and foreign markets and, not least, to develop its position internationally. Our strength is our up-to-date and wide range of production technologies, which enable us to deliver comprehensive supplies from simple parts to the most complex welded and machined multi-part units, including their surface treatment and assembly.

Sustainability and the Environment
ZAMET is a 100% Czech-owned company that does not just care for its employees, but is also a responsible player in terms of the environmental impacts of its activities. We invest in up-to-date manufacturing processes and technologies that minimise our negative environmental impacts. This reduces the consumption of energies and commodities, translating into lower production of waste. We follow environmental trends and undertake to apply these in our in-house manufacturing and development processes. For us sustainability is a commitment, not just an empty phrase.
As part of our internal measures, we integrate environmental and sustainability aspects into our operations. This management process not only contributes to improving the environment but also helps us build a reputation as a highly responsible company. This factor in turn brings us customers who have grown to expect a high emphasis on these values.
Today, environment-related topics, often referred to as "green" ones, are an integral part of modern business. For us at Zamet, the protection of the environment and concern for environmental impacts, and not only in the locations where our company operates, have been a self-explanatory and integral part of our activities since our very beginnings.
Our Staff
Our employees are the most important asset we have. The skill, know-how and experience of our staff is something we can proudly offer to our existing and potentional customers.
The future lies in the people who will continue to write the ZAME´s story and thus contribute with their effort to the production and development of machinery parts and components that facilitate optimum efficiency in the relevant areas of work.
