Sanborn, one of the largest employers in Znojmo and a long-established engineering company, will relocate its local production operations to the new AVENTIN Business Park industrial complex in August 2026. The company will lease nearly 8,000 sq m of space under a long-term agreement brokered by Savills.
“We specialise in demanding CNC machining of materials that require high quality and state-of-the-art technology. Moving to premises with almost three times the current capacity is our response to rising demand, enabling us to continue growing alongside our customers. This investment demonstrates our confidence in this sector and clearly defines our ambitions for the future,” said Jozef Hajden, CEO and Managing Director of Sanborn.
Sanborn has operated in Znojmo for more than a century and employs more than 100 people locally. It supplies components to international manufacturers including GE, Siemens, ABB, Baker Hughes and TechnipFMC. “People are the key factor of our success. Every component we produce is the result of their expertise, precision and responsible approach. A modern and comfortable working environment is therefore essential not only for increasing the efficiency and quality of production, but also for ensuring optimal working conditions in the long term,” Hajden added.
According to Savills, the selection of a new facility focused on aligning the building’s technical standards with the company’s production requirements while improving amenities for employees. “The new Aventin Business Park not only fulfils these criteria, but also maintains Znojmo’s strategic location while giving the company room for growth and long-term stability,” said Lenka Kociánová, Industrial Analyst at Savills.
AVENTIN Business Park is being developed by IMA Construction, which designed the site and will oversee construction. “The buildings are designed to meet the highest standards for modern industrial real estate. The premises incorporate sustainable features such as solar panels and use state-of-the-art technologies to ensure efficient operations,” said Karel Smejkal, Managing Director of IMA Construction.
Sanborn operates three specialised divisions in Velké Meziříčí, Brno and Znojmo, supplying CNC-machined components to the energy, aerospace, defence, oil extraction and gas sectors, and continues to invest in expanding its production capacity and technology.
