Location Industry Sport Culture
General description - Vsetín Vsetín lies in a hilly region in the eastern part of the Czech Republic close to the boarder with Slovakia on the Vsetínská Bečva river. It is spread out on the foothills of the Vsetín, Hostýn and Vizovice highlands. It is a town in Zlín Region. It has around 28, 500 inhabitants. Originally a small town, Vsetín, has become an important centre of industrial, economic, cultural and sports life during the last century.
Industry In the 19 century Vsetín became an important centre of industrial production. The first factories were a sugar factory, a steam saw mill, a factory producing matches and a glass works founded in 1868. Later the production of bent-wood furniture in the factories of Jacub and Josef Kohn and the Thonet Brothers started and this furniture became very popular for its quality and design. In the 20 century Vsetín was known for its production of electric engines in the Josef Sousedík´s factory. In 1937 a new important factory called Zbrojovka was constructed. After the fall of communism, many of the large previously state-owned factories in Vsetín ran into difficulties. These industries were split up to form smaller, more efficient, new private companies, or were bought by foreign investors.Foreign investment in the automotive industry boosted employment greatly in Vsetín during this time but with the global recession of 2008-9, once again the problem of high unemployment is threatening the well-being of the town.
