About firm AVEKO

Firm Aveko s.r.o. (Ltd.), in its aviation division, continues 60 years old tradition of repairing gliders that started in 1943 with reopening the airfield in Brno – Medlanky and building a repare shop for gliders used by a German flying school.

After the war, activity of the repare shop continued as a part of Moravian municipal works that produced prototypes of airplanes for big aviation industry.  Prototypes of seven all-wood  gliders and engine airplanes were built  at that time.

Following the short post-war period, the workshop was acquired by Svazarm  (Association for cooperation with the army) and  servicing and reparation of all-wood, hybrid and metal gliders belonging to Czechoslovak aeroclubs took place there.

Starting 1988 the workshop at Medlanky has been assumed by firm Aveko s.r.o. which at Medlanky restore and repare historical as well as modern gliders for Czech and foreign customers.

In the beginning of 2007 firm Aveko started production of airplane VL-3 that had been constructed  by firm  VANESSA s.r.o. from Litomysl and  orginally produced by firm Karel Klenor – KLN at Chocen.  Production of composites for VL-3 has been retained at Chocen, where not only wide experience of firm Karel Klenor – KLN can be used  but where  it is possible to take up old tradition of  aircraft production started  by activity of the Czech firm "Ing.P.Beneš, Ing.J.Mráz, továrna na letadla v Chocni"  that after the war continued in national enterprise Orličan (production of Metasokol).

In modern airplane VL-3 in this way Moravian and  Eastern Bohemian traditions of aviation production meet.

In the year 2010, moving production of the VL-3 Sprint and repair of aviation equipment to sister company AVEKO Aircraft  a.s.
