Tawesco is a Czech engineering company based in Kopřivnice. It produces press tools and stamped or welded metal components. The company is part of Promet Group.

The company was established in 1995 as Nářaďovna TATRA, a toolmaking subsidiary of the truck manufacturer Tatra. It was renamed Tawesco in 2002 and became part of Promet Group in 2011.

History

Tawesco was incorporated on 5 January 1995 as Nářaďovna TATRA, spol. s r.o. The company originated in Tatra’s toolmaking operations. It added a stamping plant in 1997. Nářaďovna TATRA became Tawesco in 2002, and a welding shop opened in 2004.

Promet Tools acquired Tawesco from Tatra in 2011, bringing the business into Promet Group. The Czech Office for the Protection of Competition approved the acquisition on 25 March that year.

In 2016, Tawesco had revenue of CZK 1.7 billion and an operating profit of CZK 187 million. About a fifth of its production went to Tatra; Škoda Auto was another customer. Annual revenue was reported at nearly CZK 2 billion in 2019, when its customers included Audi and Volvo.

In 2025, Tawesco opened a welding training centre at its Kopřivnice plant to help address a shortage of qualified welders. The centre is used to train employees and students in cooperation with a welding school in nearby Studénka.
