<strong>20</strong> <strong>years</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>companies</strong> <strong>1991–</strong> <strong>20</strong>11


I. THE FIRST STEPS<br />

July-August 1991<br />

The preceding two <strong>years</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new business environment<br />

after <strong>the</strong> events <strong>of</strong> November 1989 brought <strong>the</strong> first experiences,<br />

successes and disappointments, and also served as<br />

a source <strong>of</strong> inspiration. The question <strong>of</strong> “what next?” filled<br />

<strong>the</strong> mind. A group <strong>of</strong> enthusiasts, centred around Mr. Libor<br />

Hájek, made <strong>the</strong> decision on how to individually enter <strong>the</strong><br />

business world.<br />

To create <strong>the</strong>ir own Czech company.<br />

The arbour <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Přibyl family garden at Na Havránce in<br />

Prague 4 was where <strong>the</strong> later actors met in July and August<br />

– Ing. Libor Hájek, Zdeňka Molnárová, Ing. Pavel Přibyl and<br />

JUDr. Ing. Bohumil Studýnka.<br />

And here <strong>the</strong> idea <strong>of</strong> establishing <strong>the</strong> company, and its first vision,<br />

were born.<br />

The name ELTODO<br />

– from <strong>the</strong> Spanish “everything”<br />

– was thought up at <strong>the</strong> time by<br />

JUDr. Ing. Bohumil Studýnka.<br />

The Company’s Vision<br />

It was based on <strong>the</strong> assumption that it would be a small<br />

company with its roots in <strong>the</strong> past, relying on <strong>the</strong> cleverness,<br />

and particularly <strong>the</strong> skill, <strong>of</strong> Czech technicians. They wanted<br />

to develop along <strong>the</strong>se guidelines:<br />

<strong>the</strong> management <strong>of</strong> industrial and technological processes,<br />

road transportation and utility systems,<br />

electric and energy propulsion,<br />

engineering, business and real estate activities.<br />

Where to seek out roots<br />

– a young company with a long tradition<br />

The company is based on <strong>the</strong> historical tradition <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> hightech<br />

Czech nation <strong>of</strong> pre-war Czechoslovakia and <strong>the</strong> Czech<br />

industrial tradition <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> age <strong>of</strong> Austro-Hungarian Empire.<br />

Indeed, following <strong>the</strong> example <strong>of</strong> London (1868) New York<br />

(1918) and Berlin (1922), <strong>the</strong> Prague City Council, in view <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> automobile traffic, had already decided<br />

in 1927 to direct traffic using light signals, and installed <strong>the</strong><br />

first light signal on Hybernská Street in <strong>the</strong> same year. And<br />

more were added every year – 1928 on Jindřišská Street,<br />

<strong>the</strong>n in 1930 on Můstek.<br />

Even after <strong>the</strong> war, development took place in a similar manner<br />

– thanks to <strong>the</strong> businesses Elektrosignál Prague (esta-<br />

blished in 1880) and Elektropodnik (a company with a fifty<br />

Light controlled junction at Radlická – City Circle<br />

-year tradition), light-signalling devices had been installed at<br />

33 intersections by 1966. The goal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> company was to<br />

accelerate this process.<br />

Today <strong>the</strong>re are 470 light-controlled intersections in Prague.<br />

We have similarly tied into tradition in o<strong>the</strong>r fields. After <strong>the</strong><br />

privatization <strong>of</strong> Elektropodnik, which was mainly focused<br />

on public lighting and controlling traffic with signal lights,<br />

we were still able to draw from an older technical tradition.<br />

In 1847, <strong>the</strong> Prague City Council resolved to establish gas<br />

lighting in <strong>the</strong> Old Town – and on 15 September 1847, <strong>20</strong>0<br />

gas lamps were lit. Today we have renewed <strong>the</strong>m – over 1<strong>20</strong><br />

have been re-installed.<br />

Gradually <strong>the</strong> beautiful cast-iron columns and virtually artistic<br />

lampposts were perfected; <strong>the</strong>y were not only efficient,<br />

but <strong>the</strong>y also raised national self-confidence.<br />

The first permanent electric lighting in Prague was installed<br />

by F. Křižík in 1882 using his arc lights. In <strong>the</strong> following <strong>years</strong><br />

he equipped various industrial <strong>companies</strong> with <strong>the</strong>m, and<br />

after Prague <strong>the</strong>y gradually made <strong>the</strong>ir way to a number <strong>of</strong><br />

o<strong>the</strong>r cities.<br />

ELTODO continues in <strong>the</strong>se technical and artistic traditions.<br />

We want not only Prague to shine, but o<strong>the</strong>r Czech cities as<br />

well. We are returning <strong>the</strong>se<br />

beautiful period atmospheres<br />

to our nation‘s historical<br />

centers with historic replicas<br />

<strong>of</strong> lampposts and lighting,<br />

and we are also developing<br />

modern technology and progress.<br />

We want to contribute<br />

to <strong>the</strong> Czech nation‘s position<br />

among <strong>the</strong> world‘s technical<br />

leaders, as it was in <strong>the</strong> past.<br />

The gas lamp has nowadays<br />

been replaced by high pressure<br />

sodium lamp. The composite <strong>of</strong><br />

light and lamppost is a replica<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> original from 1862.<br />

Gas lamps installed in Celetná<br />

Street (1862 replica).<br />

This historic lamp on Dvořák<br />

embankment is a replica with<br />

an electric source (1903).<br />

The Company Founders<br />

The district court <strong>of</strong> Prague 1 registered ELTODO spol. s r.o.<br />

into <strong>the</strong> business registry on 19.9.1991. The company founders<br />

were Ing. Libor Hájek and Zdeňka Molnárová.<br />

Ing. Libor Hájek and Zdeňka Molnárová<br />

Characteristics <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> company from that period:<br />

very limited financial resources, enthusiasm <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> founders<br />

and supporters, entrepreneurship, <strong>the</strong> pursuit <strong>of</strong> a high<br />

technical level, courage, working passion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> whole staff<br />

and a near-family atmosphere.<br />

Economic stability was achieved through activities in road<br />

transport, <strong>the</strong> successful wholesale <strong>of</strong> electronic components,<br />

engineering activities and <strong>the</strong> results <strong>of</strong> real estate<br />

agents.<br />

Our closest associates in <strong>the</strong> beginning:<br />

Ing. Jiří Řehák Ing. Pavel Přibyl Ing. Milan Hájek<br />

Ing. Karel Kraus Ing. Zdeněk Plch<br />

“Birth certificate” <strong>of</strong> ELTODO, spol. s r.o.<br />

Headquarters:<br />

<strong>the</strong> newly formed company was not able to grow in <strong>the</strong> garage<br />

and temporary rooms which had served as its first retreat – so<br />

it looked for a new site <strong>of</strong> action.<br />

The first headquarters in<br />

Prague 4 – Branik, Modřanská<br />

43 (92 m) in <strong>the</strong> leased premises<br />

<strong>of</strong> Construction engineering<br />

buildings (left half <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> 1st floor). Here is where<br />

ELTODO, spol. s r.o., worked<br />

until March <strong>of</strong> 1993.<br />

Over time, spaces began to<br />

be tight. When <strong>the</strong> opportunity<br />

arose to rent a building on<br />

Čerčanská which was owned<br />

by UTRINU, we did not hesitate.<br />

Originally this had been a<br />

building marked for demolition,<br />

so <strong>the</strong> move was preceded by<br />

a major reconstruction and<br />

negotiations on <strong>the</strong> purchase.<br />

We moved over <strong>the</strong> course<br />

<strong>of</strong> March 199, and for several<br />

<strong>years</strong> afterwards this was <strong>the</strong><br />

primary tent <strong>of</strong> our little company.<br />

started work immediately.<br />

By <strong>the</strong> 30 th <strong>of</strong> June 1992, everything worked<br />

It began to look as though 1992 would be a successful year<br />

through and through. In August came <strong>the</strong> first big contract<br />

from <strong>the</strong> construction <strong>of</strong> engineering buildings on <strong>the</strong><br />

supply <strong>of</strong> a management operational system and tunnel<br />

technology for <strong>the</strong> Strahov Tunnel. This provided interesting<br />

<strong>the</strong> tender process and <strong>the</strong> subsequent closing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> purchase<br />

contract with <strong>the</strong> City <strong>of</strong> Prague, by which <strong>the</strong> area<br />

under construction on Novodvorská Street was obtained. Its<br />

rapid extension into a competitive administrative center with<br />

Education<br />

We realize that people decide on <strong>the</strong> success <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> company,<br />

and that intellectual capital will decide everything in<br />

<strong>the</strong> future. This is why on March 11, 1999, we founded <strong>the</strong><br />

ELTODO, s.r.o. Vocational School with two teaching fields:<br />

low-voltage electrician and high-voltage electrician. The<br />

school began its work on September 1, <strong>20</strong>00.<br />

From September <strong>20</strong>03 ano<strong>the</strong>r teaching field was added –<br />

electrical equipment engineer and remote follow-up study<br />

completed by graduation exams. On September 1, <strong>20</strong>05,<br />

instruction began for a four-year daily study <strong>of</strong> electrical<br />

technology, and <strong>the</strong> school was renamed <strong>the</strong> ELTODO s.r.o.<br />

High School <strong>of</strong> Industrial Electrical Technology.<br />
