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.
