In the following years there was a change of orientation to foreign customers mainly in Norway. That meant changing demands on technology requirements and production. In conditions of global economic boom and thanks to sufficient sources from realized projects were enabled investments in new technologies and building of another workshops.
Continuously was invested in blasting and cutting equipment, Fronius welding technology, CNC Horizontal Boring machines TOS Varnsdorf and Lathes, including modern ecological paint shop. In addition to the production technology has been invested in mobile Crane GROVE 35 tons, working platforms Rothlehner etc. Between 2001 and 2008 there was a rapid development of the company.
