AKE Skalica has significantly increased its investments in technological innovations and is systematically working on recruiting new staff

Today, the management of AKE Skalica is facing perhaps the biggest challenge in the plant's history. What is waiting for us?

We want to bring high quality and safe products, flexibility in customer communication and more flexible delivery times to the global market in the long term compared to our competitors. However, the ever-increasing demand for aircrafts products intended for civil or defence purposes is motivating us to rethink our medium-term plans.

We have therefore decided to significantly increase our investment in technological innovations for 2024/2025, while at the same time to strengthen staff at all levels of the company's management. These measures are expected to have the additional effect of increasing capacity 2-3 times progressively in the second half of 2024 and in 2025. 

Just for the record, in 2024, with new customers, we put 67 new aircrafts prototype products into production for 2024/2025, which is 150% more than in 2023. Of these, 15 types were put into production this year for delivery by the end of 2024.

The challenge lies not only in the financial requirements, but mainly in the personnel area of recruiting, training and stabilising new staff and at the same time improving the working conditions of our tribal staff, which form the solid foundations of AKE Skalica bearing plant.
