In 1902 there was a merger between the works at Vankovka and the First Brno’s Machine factory (PBS). Manufacture of steam turbines started under licence from Parsons. The Vankovka factory was used for the production of various engineering products, culminating with Zetor in 1989. Some of the buildings now house the Galerie Vankovka.[1]
