About VÍTKOVICE MACHINERY TRADE
We are a member of the strong industrial group CE Industries. Our team is made up of experts in the restructuring of companies and distressed entities. We focus on traditional Czech industrial production with the aim of preserving it for future generations.
We are particularly dedicated to tolling projects. This is the financing of inputs, where the purchase of materials is covered by a third party independent of the manufacturing company, which usually cannot pay for the materials itself. The tolling company buys the input material with the funds from a bank loan, has it made into finished products in the production plant and then sells the products to customers itself.
In 2022, we started cooperation with VÍTKOVICE STEEL a.s. in the field of hot-rolled heavy plates. We took over the financing of the material supply chain and subsequently the customer portfolio in the sheet metal business and the associated financing of the related receivables. Based on the tolling agreement, we are a partner of TP Insolvence, the insolvency administrator of LIBERTY Ostrava, which has been in bankruptcy since August 2024. At the Ostrava smelter, we have managed to restart the flat products rolling mill and pipes mill operations after a shutdown of more than a year. Thanks to Tolling's cooperation, we have saved 1,350 jobs at these operations. Thanks to the entry of VMT, the traditional Czech production of girders and steel pipes in Ostrava continues.
Our current product portfolio consists of hot-rolled plates quarto plates and products from the Liberty Ostrava steelworks, such as pipes for use in various industries and flat-rolled products.

- bending, assembly and welding of weldments from our cut shapes
