Zebra Technologies has awarded Aimtec with a $5,000 charitable donation, which will be contributed to an Alzheimer’s endowment. In celebration of its thirtieth anniversary as a public company and the fifth anniversary of the award-winning Zebra® PartnerConnect program, Zebra invited its members to share their stories about how they are supporting front-line heroes. Aimtec was one of the six winners selected by a panel of judges this month.

Practical experience, case studies, the latest technologies, and a place for production, logistics and IT experts from the European automotive sector to meet and debate – that’s the Trends in Automotive Logistics conference. This year’s TAL, coming to Pilsen on 21 September, is organised by Aimtec in cooperation with IHK Regensburg and DTIHK.

25 years have gone by since Aimtec’s founding.

It celebrated its tenth birthday on a train, its fifteenth in a tram and its twentieth in the style of the 1920s. But for its latest birthday, Aimtec is travelling a different path. For each year that this company – founded in 1996 by Jaroslav Follprecht and Roman Žák – has been in business, it is preparing to help in a place where it’s needed the most.

The Office of the Year competition – now in its fifth year – organised by the Prochazka & Partners consulting agency has revealed the winners for the most impressive office spaces of last year. Aimtec has won the prize for the best regional office, i.e. one located elsewhere than in Prague, placing the company side-by-side with such major-player winners as Fortuna, FTV Prima and Jägermeister. An expert jury made up of leading office-market experts selected the winners.

Jaroslav Follprecht and Roman Žák have won the regional round of the 2020 EY Entrepreneur of the Year competition for the Pilsen Region. The expert panel emphasised the perseverance, vision and hard-working nature of Aimtec’s founders and owners, who have managed to transform these traits into innovative digital solutions for their customers, domestically and abroad. The pair have also earned attention by successfully building up a company that succeeds while staying socially responsible.

Automation of internal logistics is hardly limited to the automotive industry and e-commerce, and Aimtec’s new project for DŘEVO TRUST, a Czech wholesaler of wood materials and products, is one proof of that. DŘEVO TRUST decided to use a fully automated warehousing solution for its new halls. In November of 2019, it launched live operation in Lipník nad Bečvou, and expansion to its branches in Hradec Králové and Pilsen is coming in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Due to the special technologies and communication protocols involved, Aimtec has developed its own virtual process simulator, significantly accelerating the project and easing the setup of its control system.
