In recent years, PBS’s growth and rising revenue have been driven primarily by aircraft engine production. Since 2023, we have increased engine output nearly sixfold, reaching approximately 1,700 units in 2025, more than double the previous year’s volume. With a strong order backlog already secured for the coming periods, we expect continued growth in both production and overall company revenue. We are systematically expanding our manufacturing, staffing and training capacities while further strengthening our supply chain.
This production momentum is clearly reflected in the company’s financial performance. PBS Velka Bites recorded revenues of approximately CZK 2 billion in 2024. In 2025, revenues are projected to grow to around CZK 2.7 billion, with the 2026 plan targeting approximately CZK 3.7 billion. Exports account for roughly 80% of total production, and when indirect exports are included, the figure exceeds 90%.
The rapid growth in production is closely linked to the company’s extensive investment program. PBS Velka Bites is implementing investments in manufacturing technologies and infrastructure totalling approximately CZK 1 billion. The largest share is directed toward the Aerospace Division, which is key to expanding production of turbine and jet engines. A major investment project includes the construction of a new production facility for the Aerospace Division (DLT2) and the continued expansion of its manufacturing capacity.
Alongside investments in technology and production facilities, the company is significantly increasing its workforce. The number of employees in Velka Bites has grown from approximately 600 in 2023 to around 800 in 2025, with further recruitment underway — particularly in manufacturing and engineering — aiming to reach approximately 1,060 employees by the end of 2026.
These investments are expected to substantially increase production capacity, enhance technological capabilities, and strengthen the company’s long-term competitiveness in the global aerospace market.
