comparable only to aviation and nuclear industries

(which are our customers, too). The third factor in

our investment strategy is and has always been the

creation of a logical unit interconnecting business

and trade, providing our customers with full service

from the production of large and heavy weldment

to various types of drilling technology, from the

production of precisely machined components

and equipment assembled to the weldment to

independence and self-sufficiency in deliveries

of forged pieces and material for our production

plants. Last but not least, we offer our clients various

types and profiles of insulation for civil engineering

and, from 2019, for industry, too. That is why we

bought the companies Elfe (production of heavy

weldments), V-Nass (production of machined parts

and equipment), Triangolo (industrial forge) and

Norasota (production of industrial insulation). Three

of the companies are located in and employ people

of the Moravian-Silesian Region; Triangolo is located

in the Region of Zlín.

You participate in a project of applied research

with a university. What does innovation mean to

you?

It is the future. Innovation brings our businesses to

production with high added value of our jobs, keeps

Aus at a good position on the market, and improves

our competitiveness. Innovation is also the only

prospective response to the issues of a non-flexible

and over-motivated labour market in the Czech

Republic.

Companies in your group focus on exports, mainly on

global markets. What is your opinion on introducing

the euro?

I am one of those working in the real economy which

differs from the one described in the manuals that most

of our politicians seem to learn from. I believe that the

euro should have been introduced in the Czech Republic

long ago. Over 90 % of our production is exports. Over

80 % of total Czech export production heads to EU

countries, most of which have the euro as their national

currency, and use it in international business. Czech

companies nowadays must seek and pay for banking

products which cover the exchange rate risks, must be

careful about “smart” decisions of the Czech National

Bank (ČNB), and how ČNB might block the renewal of

Czech industries like they did in 2013. We calculate with

increasing costs Czech crown loans, which in 2018 were

absolutely useless and have not brought anything positive

to the Czech economy, and have not solved anything

that ČNB wanted to (e.g. sinking the Czech crown), and I

could easily add more and more examples. I am definitely

pro-euro, and feel professionally and personally obliged

to promote it. I am very grateful for the job which the

Confederation of Industry of the Czech Republic does

for the benefit of the Czech Republic in this matter.
