Esco Group continues on 100 years tradition of The Sawmill in Velká nad Velickou.

The Esco Oak Sawmill in Velká nad Velickou, situated in the Czech Republic, part of the White Carpatians, has a long tradition in the wood industry. Original steam sawmill was founded by brothers Thonet in 1906. The company Thonet started in 1861 and it was the first producer, which began to produce so-called „sets“ in the serial production. They discovered and started to use innovative proces of the wood bending too.

In 1920 the Swedisch family Magnis took over the sawmill. Earl Ferdinand Magnis ( 1905-1996 ) owned the whole Strážnice manor.  50  workers were processing about 4000 m3/year of the timber from Magnis forests.  There were placed 2  hacksaws, 1 band saw, 5 circular saws, lathe, mechanical engineering workroom and auxiliary power station in the sawmill.

The sawmill was nationalised after the Second World War and became the property of Státní statek Veselí nad Moravou. Since 1989 several owners have alternated here, the most important of which is Mr Smrček (Pila Smrček s.r.o.), who operated the sawmill from 2001 to 2015.

In November 2015, the sawmill was acquired by ESCO and renamed ESCO OAK SAWMILL, s.r.o.

The Czech manufacturer Esco CZ Production is a traditional family company that specialises in oak flooring. The company has been active on the market for many years, and the acquisition of its own sawmill was a logical step to supplement the production chain.   Esco increased the capacity to 20.000 m3 with 50 workers and the newest technology and machinery.
