Interview

Mr. Frantisek Vlk, a majority shareholder of Gatema company, has been dealing with the printed circuit boards production for more than a quarter of a century. And meanwhile back in 1995 when he had to ask himself whether he had made the right decision - and that was in the moment when his 30 employees did not have enough orders to work on. Fast forward to today, the company has modern production capacities in the town of Boskovice from which customers from all of Europe are being successfully served. Currently Gatema is considered to be the unbeatable leader in terms of speed of standard prototype boards production. However, as proved by its latest acquisition of a German producer company Kubatronik, Gatema's ambition here is nowhere near its finish line. In the near future, apart from its extremely fast and from the large part automated production of standardised boards, the company would also like to address even more demanding customers from the most complex and advanced business fields. After all, it is the complexity and flexibility where Mr. Frantisek Vlk foresees the biggest potential towards the future of the company.
