History and present
THE COMPANY VAPE spol. s r.o. WAS FOUNDED IN 1991.
The company was established in a region with a long tradition in the aerospace and automotive industries. The founder of the company was the current executive, who, together with 8 employees with professional experience, formed the basis of the company. From the very first intention was: to enter the world market in the field of ignition and power supply kits for oldtimer motorcycles of many types of world-class factory brands. Subsequent activities were directed to the development, production and sale of ignition components, alternators and voltage regulators not only for motorcycles, but also for jet skis, small tractors and other internal combustion engines. The company's activities started in May 1991, in the garage of a family house, and were further implemented through several rented premises. With the gradual increase in employees, it was necessary to look for additional, larger administrative and production premises. In 2004, we managed to buy a suitable, albeit very devastated building on Bílanská Street in Kroměříž, in the current headquarters of the company. The purchase of this building meant a major positive turning point for the further growth of the company. The large size of the building made it possible not only to reconstruct existing properties in a modern way, but also to construct new buildings and structures. The architectural division of the individual buildings and rooms promised a good future for the company's further development. Every year, there were significant reconstructions, construction and modernization of the entire company building. At the same time, significant investments were made in the purchase of new, modern technologies. Since 2006, several other buildings have been built and equipped on the site.
However, it can be emphasized that the first 15 years of the company's existence were an extremely challenging period for obtaining financial security for the business and the subsequent repayment of the loans obtained. All this was at a time of a very unstable market environment. It was also very difficult to build a good position on the market and gain the trust of customers. All of this required taking great risks repeatedly, with a clear vision, maximum effort, and unwavering belief in a better future.
The great work was successful and at present the company's premises and technological equipment are at a very good level, comparable to the European trend.
The constant goal is maximum customer satisfaction, flexibility in development, construction, production, satisfaction of large and small orders and the use of extensive modern technology.
Advantages of the company
The company has its own product development. Technical Department uses long term experiences. Members of this team are able to react flexibly in development and innovation of products.
Team work is pointed to customization of ignition systems, alternators and voltage regulators for old-timer motorcycles of many world’s brands.
Another great advantage of VAPE company is the high flexibility of the implementation of orders due to the wide spectrum of different professional fields without external cooperation.

VAPE production potential
Production is managed by a group of managers with many years of experience in the specialization. A very important part in the production management is a specifically created information system that ensures and helps to implement orders from order to shipment.
Production is spread over a number of buildings on the company premises. Workplaces are divided into individual assemblies according to specialization. Then to specific workplaces such as machining on CNC machines, including robotic workplaces, as well as sheet metal and plastic parts stamping shops, surface treatment workplaces equipped with an automatic phosphating line, workplaces for automatic SMD assembly and other assembly technologies and tools.
Quality management system - product quality assurance
Compliance with the rules and regulations of quality control processes is ensured by the quality control department. Of course, all production managers, including all employees, are involved in this process. It is clear from this that we all realize that the quality and reliability of the products is the most important thing for us and is reflected in the trust and satisfaction of our customers.
It is necessary to ensure suitable conditions for this quality process. In addition to a number of basic gauges, the company has three pieces of high-end 3D measuring equipment for measuring machine components and a number of test benches for measuring electrical and electronic products.
Each product goes through a series of control operations during the production process. Furthermore, every electrical and electronic product is tested twice for all functions before it is shipped from the company to customers.
This ensures the high quality and reliability of VAPE spol. s r. o. products.
