About us
Our company is a traditional, purely Czech manufacturer of laboratory furniture and fume cupboards and your professional partner in the field of design, implementation, equipping and supplying laboratories and operations with laboratory furniture, technological equipment and consumables. Our key focus is primarily in the fields of science, research, industry, healthcare and education. We have been operating on the Czech and Slovak markets since 1993, and during our existence we have worked our way up to the current leading position in the field. As one of the few companies of our size in the Czech Republic, we have remained an entity without foreign ownership.
As part of our expertise and focus, we solve a wide range of investment projects of various importance and size every year, in addition we provide professional sales services to more than 3,000 customers not only from the Czech Republic, which in addition to our own sales also include professional advisory and consulting activities. These services are provided for you by a team of more than ninety experienced workers with knowledge and experience in a wide range of fields and activities. An integral part of the offer is also authorized service support, not only for the supplied devices and technologies. The basis of our company's successful activity is above all a comprehensive approach to the issue of laboratory interiors and equipment, which includes compliance with construction and connection layouts, laboratory furniture and fume cupboards, installed technologies, personnel requirements and operating materials. An integral part is also the evaluation of material and personnel routes, work methodologies and the creation of workplace operating regulations, as well as the economy and efficiency of their operation.
Our own production of special laboratory furniture, metal fume cupboards and media cells dates back to 1997, and in 2004 we started production in our own modern production plant on the outskirts of Brno near the international airport. We currently have our own technology and development department, whose task is not only production preparation but also development and research. The main goal of this activity is the improvement of our own model series and the introduction of new products to the market that meet today's high demands for work in various types of laboratories and the creation of basic prerequisites for a modern, safe and energy-efficient workplace. Cooperation with a number of renowned state and private scientific institutions is an integral part of successful development activities. Among the innovative products of research and development from the field of hi-tech are, in particular, an intelligent electronically controlled laboratory fume cupboard and a uniquely designed hanging media cell, as well as the use of new board materials with significantly higher useful properties, including an exceptional method of edging chipboards with high moisture resistance in the country.
Closely related to our business and production activities is the planned construction of the company's necessary infrastructure, which includes, in addition to a network of regional offices, above all the above-mentioned production plant with European-level machinery and production equipment acquired as part of the regular modernization of production, most recently at the end of 2015. The infrastructure also includes a modern logistics area, office facilities and an extensive training center for the company's employees. In 2016, we opened a new service center for you in Prague, which provides a high standard of service support for our products. The service center operates within our Prague office and sample room, which we put into operation the previous year. The material and technical background together with the employee training system is a guarantee of the quality of our production, service and professional approach to the customer.
