The ROSTRA toolworks and pressing shop was founded in 2000 to continue the long tradition of precision engineering production in the Zlín region of the Czech Republic. Its core activity is the design and production of tools for pressing sheet metal parts, mainly for the automotive industry, and the design and production of inspection jigs and clamping fixtures for production lines. The second line of business is the pressing of sheet metal parts, and the third the production of turned parts on multi-spindle automatic machines.
