Family company

Ever since the company was founded in the late 1990s, the founder has been accompanied by the idea of transforming the business into a meaningful mission that would also carry a family legacy. Fixed values and inspiring visions are an integral part of this stable and constantly evolving corporation.

Pavel Novotný founded the company with the support of his father and 22 years later the management has been handed over to his son, Filip Novotný. Other family members - wife, daughter, sister, and daughter-in-law - are also active and happily involved in the company.

By connecting the family legacy and the entire corporate team, we succeed in building a healthy organization that makes the world safer.
