THE SEEDS OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE PACKAGING ARE PLANTED
On 18 April 1991, the original founders Petr Hrdina and Frantisek Smid bring their vision of high-performance packaging to life with the founding of the eponymous design company "Hrdina and Smid".
On July 1, 1992, VELTEKO s.r.o. was established on the basis of an agreement between the original founders and Pavel Chvojka. Its first home was a leased production hall that measured 12 x 12 m.
The seeds of VELTEKO’s phenomenal future growth have officially been planted.

VERSATILITY BEGINS
In 1996, construction of the first production hall was successfully completed and the upgraded intermittent vertical packaging machine – the HSV 101 – was launched. The first continuous vertical packaging machine - the HSV 200 - was brought to market two years later.
In 1997, the idea of VERSATILITY was brought to life, when the first versatile machine was launched under the name HSV101B- FLEXIBLE.

SUBSIDIARIES
To be closer to their customers abroad, VELTEKO subsidiaries were established in 1999 in Poland (VELTEKO Polska) and in 2001 in Russia (VELTEKO Rus).
In 2001, VELTEKO was one of the first manufacturers in the world to introduce a dual-tube continuous vertical machine - the HSV 220.

DOYPACK
In 2005, the first intermittent vertical packaging machine was built for the creation of standard DOYPACK bags – the HSV 102. Its function was then expanded one year later to include application of a zipper. Due to customer demand for increased packaging speeds, VELTEKO started to create these bags on their HSV101B-CONTI continuous packaging machines in 2008.
During 2006, VELTEKO began using powerful industrial computers to control all of its packaging machines.

COMPANY GROWTH
Between 2010 and 2012, VELTEKO had more than 70 employees. With its cutting-edge technology, the company launched the new HSV 360 series of vertical packaging machines in 2010. VELTEKO's rapid growth prompted the construction of a new state-of-the-art building to house their research & development and sales departments. During that same period, production began on their US 100 packaging and sealing machine, as well as their HSV 440 vertical packaging machine going through further evolutionary changes.
