The company was bought by Slovak-Czech investment company J&T in 2007 when the company was shut down.

Communist era
From February coup in 1948 the communist party got to govern Czechoslovakia. This communist era lasted for 41 years until 1989 when the Velvet revolution happened. The communism brought

Most of the products were produced only “good enough,” which refers to fact that everything was made completely just for its purpose and it did not have any additional functions (example; the block of flats without lift and balcons and just with one entrance). This past communist period was difficult time without any comfort but with high level of equality across the people.
