We’ve been working to protect metals since 1989
Back in the days when founders Ervín Schleser and Miloslav Voda used to strip off their work clothes after a hard shift and take their seats in a makeshift office set up in a trailer to work on their invoices, they could hardly have imagined what their company would look like thirty years later. From a single powder coating booth in the small Haná town of Pňovice we have grown into high-capacity electroplating plants, a warehouse, and an assembly facility covering 6,500 m² in a modern complex in Olomouc. We are now one of the leaders in the metal surface treatments market in Central Europe and employ more than 70 people of various nationalities.
