The Company
Svoboda Entwicklungs GmbH (svoent) is a family-owned company in St. Pölten that has been active since 1976 as a development and production partner for demanding metal assemblies. The company, with around 35 employees, specializes in high-precision welded and assembled components and supplies industries such as mechanical engineering, automotive, plant engineering, rail vehicle construction, structural engineering, office and contract furniture, metrology and defence products. The value chain ranges from individual product development to laser cutting, punching, press forming, CNC bending and CNC turning to welding (MAG, MIG, TIG, robotic welding), surface technology and complete assembly including packaging. In-house tool and fixture manufacturing with wire EDM, a hardening furnace as well as turning and milling enables a high level of vertical integration. Materials processed include steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper. Production ranges from single parts/prototypes to series production, also as Just-In-Time delivery.
