In August 2018, a new CB MATIC SM 32×33 automatic welding machine with a rotary positioner from the French manufacturer OERLIKON was put into operation. The investment amounted to CZK 4.6 million.
By commissioning this new submerged arc welding technology, the company now meets all regulations concerning so-called special processes in the field of welding as well.
The SAW automatic welding station is designed for welding rotary parts. The equipment is of a high technical standard, microprocessor-controlled, flexible in use and ensures high reliability in controlling the welding cycle.

The machine is equipped with a submerged arc welding head and TRACMATIC automatic head guidance in the weld groove.

The priority investment in new technologies was the purchase of two new CAN-type electric bogie hearth furnaces from the renowned Czech manufacturer REALISTIC Karlovy Vary with a total value of CZK 2.5 million, which were put into operation in the fourth quarter of 2017.
The reason for this investment was not only the technical condition of the old furnaces from the 1980s, but above all new legislation on so-called special processes and pressure equipment in force since January 2016.
The resistance furnaces are designed for the heat treatment of parts up to 800 °C and 1,100 °C respectively. The entire process is microprocessor-controlled.

The furnace control system is equipped with a temperature controller and a data acquisition system that records data in real time. The record of the entire technological process is transmitted via a communication line to a PC, where all data are archived.

Following the entry of a strategic partner, part of the ZPA Pečky, a.s. group, into MOSTRO a.s. in 2015, the company's entire facilities were relocated to new modern premises in Pečky between September 2016 and April 2017.
The relocation included both the optimisation of all workplaces and the gradual replacement of obsolete machinery and equipment. The relocation of the production base included the transfer of part of the production of rotary and non-rotary parts to ZPA Pečky, a.s., which has state-of-the-art machine tools.
The total cost of moving from the original site in Prague-Modřany to the new headquarters in Pečky exceeded CZK 7 million; assets were transported on approx. 120 trucks and the total production and non-production areas were reduced from the original 8,600 m² to the current 5,200 m².
