MBNS – International, spol. s r.o. was established in Brno in 1995 to continue the activities of MBNS spol. s r.o., the former Czechoslovak and Soviet joint venture that had ensured deliveries of the equipment for chemical and petrochemical industries from 1990.
Since the beginning of its establishment MBNS has been satisfying the needs of chemical and petrochemical plants operators for the deliveries of spare parts, repairs, reconstructions and modernizations of the existing plants. The main territory, in which the company has conducted its business so far, covers the countries within the CIS, particularly Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Russia and Ukraine.
In the 2001 – 2003 period MBNS successfully implemented its hitherto largest project, i.e. the completion of units for nitric acid production with a capacity of 360 ths/year and of ammonium nitrate with a capacity of 450 ths/year for PO AZOT Fergana, Uzbekistan. The total project value reached 50.66 mil USD, and MBNS in cooperation with EGAP and ING Bank ensured the project financing at an amount of 100% contract value for the Uzbek customer.
In 2001, based on the public selection procedure, MBNS – International, spol. s r.o. became a sole owner of the forging plant Královopolská kovárna, s.r.o. After the latter had been sold to MBNS, it was completely reconstructed, and own machining shop was built. In present the forging plant offers a wide range of both die and free forgings, including their machining, to the customers. On 1 January 2005 the name of the forging plant was changed to MBNS Kovárna s.r.o.
At the end of 2003, within the privatization of the company Královopolská a.s., MBNS purchased some production premises, originally referred to as “Special Chemistry”, including their machinery and facilities. In the 1960 – 1999 period, this plant primarily manufactured the equipment for nuclear power plants, as well as for operations with high requirements for materials and workmanship quality. This plant has also been subject to a complete reconstruction and modernization. The present MBNS – International and MBNS Kovárna production premises cover a total area of 26,000 sq m and 21,000 sq m, respectively.
Nowadays, MBNS can offer its own extensive production capacities to the customers. These include the manufacture of pressure vessels, exchangers, boilers, furnaces and piping for the power engineering, chemical and petrochemical industries. In addition, MBNS offers the deliveries of complete industrial plants, spare parts, as well as reconstructions of chemical and petrochemical units. MBNS has got long-term experience in these activities and is able to ensure their implementation, including financing.
