About us

Tradition since 1951

Following privatization, we seamlessly continued the tradition of Teplotechna Brno, which was founded in 1951. We supply heating units, refractory linings, and related steel structures
Thanks to more than half a century of experience in the market, we have extensive expertise in the supply of industrial furnaces and related services—both in the domestic and international markets.
We currently have 100 full-time employees. Our production facility and warehouse are located in Brno-Horní Heršpice. Our design and engineering center is in Olomouc.

We supply individual parts as well as complete solutions

Our operations can be broken down into several points:

  • Turnkey production line implementation,
  • modernization of components,
  • technical support – audits, hot work, furnace temperature control, etc.

We help our partners not only with the construction of new furnaces, but also with the modernization of existing ones. We perform hot repairs on furnaces and supply spare parts for them. Our purpose is to enable our partners to achieve maximum production at minimum cost while minimizing their environmental impact.

The environment comes first

Our primary goal is to supply our customers with top-of-the-line eco-friendly furnaces or furnace components, backed by reliable support. We are committed to ensuring that the subsequent operation of the furnaces has the least possible impact on the environment.
