CHARVÁT

Our company was founded by František and Zdeněk Charvát in the 1920s. What originally started out as a roofing company became, within a few years, a well-known Czech manufacturer of tarred and tinted cardboards. During the pre-war period, the company supplied insulation for the Sokol meeting halls and hangars, and it cooperated with large Prague construction companies in supplying comprehensive waterproofing... After 1991, part of the company was returned to Mr. Zdeněk Charvát and the remaining part was privatised. The family initiated extensive restorations, put into operation a second line, founded Charvát s.r.o. in 1993 (which became the present Charvát a.s. in 2001), entered the demanding western markets, and continuously modernized and introduced new products (e.g. bitumen roof shingles). We are the last and only 100% Czech company in our field, and we manufacture all our products in the Czech Republic according to established methods.
