Havlik Machine Tools, Inc., is a joint venture between Havlik International Machinery and Berbeck Equipment Technologies Ltd. It was created in January 2003 as an importer and distributor of machine tools manufactured in the Czech and Slovak Republics. Between them the two companies have more than 150 combined years of machine tool experience, and they are proud to announce that they’ve been given exclusive distribution rights for TOS Cel·kovice in North America.

TOS Cel·kovice is a manufacturer of machine tools with a tradition beginning in the year 1910 under the original trademark J. Volman. By 1925, centre lathes–until then exclusively imported from abroad–were manufactured in the plant after its expansion. The nationalization of the plant marked the inception of the trademark TOS. By the mid-sixties the TOS Cel·kovice plant was incorporated in the TST trust and ranked as the fourth-largest plant in the organization. The mid-eighties saw a reconstruction of the entire factory.

During these years TOS Cel·kovice was focused on the production of large and long universal centre lathes, as well as gear hobbing and shaping machines. The majority of the products were always exported abroad, first through Czechoslovak Foreign Trade companies and then through its contractual representatives in countries including Canada and the United States. TOS Hostivar and TOS Cel·kovice now produce some of the finest conventional and CNC controlled centre lathes, cylindrical grinders, gear hobbing and shaping machines, special purpose lathes, and grinders that Europe has to offer.

Havlik Machine Tools believes in open the lines of communication between the customer, dealer, distributor, and the manufacturer. For more information call Havlik at (519) 624-6240 or send e-mail to havlik@sympatico.ca. Visit online at [www.havlik-machinery.com].
