ALUKOV expanding it’s production, opening a new hall
One of the largest employers in the region of Chrudim, company ALUKOV, inaugurated onTuesday 16th July a new production hall.
To the celebration of traditional Czech manufacturer of swimming pool, spa and terrace enclosures arrived also the former president of Czech republic, prof. Ing. Václav Klaus, PhD.: “I must admit that I have never reached such wealth to buy a swimming pool, so it can not happen, that I would enclose it. So I can not be a client of your company, but I would like our and other countries to become wealthy and as much people as possible would have a pool and buy your enclosure. “
“We’re symbolically, after eighteen years, entering adulthood. No wonder and luck, but hard daily work. And because of that we reached the position of world leader in its field,”said in a speech CEO of Alukov Jan Zitko.
The growing interest in swimming pool, spa and terrace enclosure in recent years has prompted ALUKOV for further development. In June 2013 ALUKOV opened a new manufacture in Hungary in Bátonyterenye and a month later we’re also opening another production hall in the Czech Republic. The ribbon-cutting ceremony took over former Czech president prof. Ing. Václav Klaus, PhD., CEO of ALUKOV HZ Jan Zitko and a member of the Hungarian National Council, President of the Nógrád County, where we can find the city Bátonyterenye, Mr. Zsolt Becsó. The celebration was attended by many other distinguished guests, representatives of local governments and business partners.
The new hall at the headquarters of ALUOV in Orel near Chrudim covers an area of 4000 m2 and is a result of an investment of 25 millions Czech crowns (1 000 000 EUR). It’s been built in just six months - the first dig happened on 17th January 2013. On 30th June this year, was the building already completed and on 11th July it came through the final approval. The new hall will serve from three quarters as a store of ground rails and aluminum profiles, and in the future there will be a sophisticated deposit system where heavy aluminum profiles will be stored in baskets weighing up to two tons up to 5 meters. The remaining quarter of the hall will be the production part, where we’ll move the bending of aluminum profiles, which is companie’s the most important know-how (profiles, which make the supporting structure must be not just stable, but also made so that it can’t be deformed inside. Plus it is manufactured from a special alloy, which is also an element in which is ALUKOV significantly different from other companies). The store will also serve to simplify logistics - handling containers overseas where is increasing demand for ALUKOV enclosures.
The new hall will enable ALUKOV to increase the quantity of the manufactured enclosures by about 15%. Because of that company employed in April this year about one hundred new employees. To date ALUKOV employs approximately 360 people, mainly from Chrudim region.
The next day after the party was already a working day - 27 business representativesfrom France and directors of our affiliated companies attended the training, or rather debate and exchange of experiences about the sale of terrace enclosure CORSO. This unique mobile enclosure system has its use not just by houses but also at restaurants, where it increases seating area and allows the use of “summer” gardens also in the other seasons. We believe that they will utilize the experience gained at this meeting in their daily work soon.
