History of company

A cable making company from Bratislava purchased a semi-finished building from a candy maker at the outskirts of Kolin. When finished in early 1927, it began to produce wiring pipes, boxes and accessories. However, the rapid growth of production was slowed down by the war. The product range had to be adapted to the needs of wartime – the plant produced winches and special equipment for the aviation industry.

The factory was transformed into the new entity: Kablo Bratislava, owned by the state. After 3 years it split up to several companies. The wiring material production remained in Kolin.

A new direction in the production of electrical installation material appeared. The wider usage of plastics significantly changed production. The development of plastics processing has suppressed the existing production of metal sheath pipes and began to produce trunkings, flexible pipes and boxes from plastic.

Company extended its range of production and opened production of much desired enamelled Cu wire used in motors and transformers. This production was closed down in 1996.

Kladno National Enterprise with production in Kolin, joined the ZSE Prague Group for several years.

Another, and the most important change in the development came after the Velvet Revolution in 1989. In the following year the Kolin group became independent and a s.p. Kablo Kolin.

Privatization of the state enterprise in 1994 under the name KOPOS Kablo Kolin s.r.o. A new dynamic phase of the production of the wiring material begins.

Company name KOPOS KOLIN a.s. the transition to the joint stock company in 1996 remained a strong brand of quality to date.
Investments in the construction of own PVC granulate mixing plant and commencement of operation in the same year have started new possibilities of the technical and technological development of the company. These machines provide the sufficient quantity of high quality production materials in the mechanical area and color consistency. One of the most advanced is the technology for the production of corrugated pipes and injection molding machines for the production of two-component products.
