HISTORY OF MANUFACTURING IN MILOVICE
AZ KLIMA was established in 1992, building on the more than 45-year tradition of HVAC manufacturing in the region.
1969 | Mr. Bártů launches production of ductwork and accessories in a rented workshop owned by the blacksmith Hanáček in Mikulov. It was then a part of the cooperative “Zdravotechnika Brno” and later “Klimatherm Brno” | |
1972 | Manufacturing moves into two rented and later purchased farmsteads in nearby Milovice. As part of the Czechoslovak communist government policy of oppression and centralization known as “normalization”, the manufacturing was taken over by the state-owned Prague-based JANKA. | |
1978 | Jaroslav Jánský joins the company. | |
1990 | A new production hall is constructed and the former farmsteads are abandoned. | |
1992 | A new joint venture of “Potrubí Milovice Ltd.” is formed by Mr. Jánský, JANOS Ltd and JANKA Ltd. Prague to continue with manufacturing of ductwork and accessories. Mr. Jánský is CEO. | |
1994 | The shareholder “JANOS Ltd.“ leaves „Potrubí Milovice Ltd.“ An agreement on a joint venture between Mr. Jánský and the owner of AZ KLIMA Ltd – Mr. Čížek is reached. The manufacturing plant, including its machinery, is bought from JANKA Ltd. | |
