Company HEFAJSTOS was formed in 1964. Initially, it operated as a small blacksmith workshop dealing with production of manual tools such as chisels for sculptors and keys for barrels but as time passed, manual scissors started to be produced for cutting wires and sheets, further to other tools. Systematic expansion of the company and machine park extension resulted in increasing the scope of activity and, ultimately, in October of 1980 the  company was transformed into private partnership. The company has operated in this setup until today, improving its technical back office, expanding production capacity through, among others, improving the machine park, obtaining new, more demanding clients and gaining new experiences.

Currently, the company is involved in production of small tools - machinist`s hammers between 100 and 1500 g, table scissors for cutting sheets, pullers for bearings in the scope of diameters from 60 to 800 mm

The second branch of company activity is the production of steel structures. The company mostly produces structures for the rail and tram infrastructure - elements of the steering system housing for railway turnouts or tram turnouts - apart from this, boxes for tram turnout heating systems as well as various minor elements

In order to produce the  above tools and structures, the company has the following machine park at its disposal:

• Hydraulic bending brakes with pressure of 160 t and bending length of 3000 mm as well as 250 t and bending length of 4000 mm;
• Hydraulic guillotine shears - 2 pieces - up to 6mm of thickness and 2000 mm cut and 1 pair of scissors up to 15 mm in thickness and 3000 mm cut
