In the same year the newly established factory, owned by the group in Brno Zbrojovka Concern Lizin-established contact and began to cooperate with the British company Hoffmann. This became the basis for the development of bearings manufacture not only in Brno, but also in the country as a whole.

Despite all the difficulties, in 1948 began production of the first 28 types of bearings. By the 1st of January 1950 opened new manufacturing: Zavody presneho strojirenstvi, Brno - Lisen (Precision Machinery Factory).
