It all began in a small shop in Prost\u011bjov<\/h2>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

In 1990, the first plant manufacturing shading technology was established in Plumlovsk\u00e1 Street, Prost\u011bjov. It had two employees \u2013 Ji\u0159\u00ed Nesvadb\u00edk and Ladislav Vr\u00e1na. At the beginning, the primary subject of their work was welding. As demand for internal blinds grew later, they trained to master their installation and started to install them with their first employees around the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n Interesting fact: The business name NEVA is a compound of the names of its owners. NE \u2013 Nesvadb\u00edk, VA \u2013 Vr\u00e1na.\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

In 1996, the company\u2019s portfolio included several products \u2013 internal blinds, insect screens, awnings and, newly, external blinds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

\u201cAt that time, people were just beginning to find out the benefits of external blinds. It was a new product in our company and it was only in the process of establishing itself in the market. But over time, demand for external blinds rose and we began to focus on them<\/em>\u201d, says Ladislav Vr\u00e1na, NEVA\u2019s co-owner.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

With its first rolling line from Zebr,<\/a> NEVA started manufacturing its own external blinds, called \u201cZ90\u201d,<\/strong> in 1999. To this day, they\u2019ve been our most popular product. We started selling them officially under the trade name \u017daluzie NEVA s.r.o.<\/strong> only in 2002, when our company was formed. Along with five more rolling lines, today we make blinds in the plant in Kralick\u00fd H\u00e1j, where we moved in 2012 as our capacities weren\u2019t sufficient any more. To fulfil our quality requirements and meet deadlines, we also built our own powder paint shop to paint components two years later.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

Nowadays we only specialise in external shading, exclusively in external blinds<\/a> and, newly, in textile screens<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

The year 2021 saw the company set up a new production facility and showroom, and prepare to launch production of textile screens<\/h2>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

Since we are continuously growing, we plan on completing the construction of a new production facility<\/strong> and training centre<\/strong> in 2021. The training centre will house a canteen for employees, offices and showroom. In addition, we are starting to make a new product: external textile screens.\n\nThe production facility is being built next to the powder paint shop in an area of about<\/strong> 2,300 sqm and as it has no support columns, it will offer a greater working area.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n
The ground floor of the new building houses offices and the canteen, with new offices of the owners, the training centre and showroom being upstairs. The interior was designed by the Vrti\u0161ka &<\/span> \u017d\u00e1k architectural studio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

\u201cWe expect more room for samples and presentation options from the new showroom. We want to show our partners how our products work in practice. Besides external blinds, we\u2019ll also demonstrate our new product \u2013 external textile screens\u201d, <\/em>explains Miloslav Matou\u0161ek, NEVA\u2019s Marketing Manager.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

Generations meet at NEVA<\/h2>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

Thirty years have passed since the foundation of NEVA, and a small business has grown into a mature company with 150 employees. Even though we continue growing, we don\u2019t want to become a corporation: we maintain friendly relations with both partners and employees and we are still a family-run company at heart.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

\u201cWe want to preserve the company as a family-run business, which is why we get gradual initial training here. I work in marketing and Eva Nesvadb\u00edkov\u00e1 works in the financial department. The whole family isn\u2019t here yet, but we\u2019re close to it\u201d, explains <\/em>Kate\u0159ina Vr\u00e1nov\u00e1, the daughter of one of the founders.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

We plan to remain loyal to the field of external shading technology in the future as well. Similarly, we want to preserve our values and approach to the employees.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n
A personal approach and friendly environment is of great importance to us at NEVA.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
\n \n

\u201cIts fair and humane approach is the great thing about this company whether we talk about company events, trips or bonuses. There are quite a few of us here but the family spirit can still be felt\u201d,<\/em> Miloslav Matou\u0161ek, Head of the Marketing Department, describes the situation at NEVA.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n

Over 30 years, we\u2019ve worked our way to the top in the field of external shading and, besides the Czech Republic, we sell our blinds to more than 42 countries. We thank our employees and partners without whom we wouldn\u2019t have managed it, and we look forward to achieving further success together.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Over these thirty years, NEVA has grown from a small shop with two staff into a company with 150 employees. You would find both internal and external shading in the NEVA plant before but nowadays we only make external blinds and textile screens. They are manufactured in two production facilities covering an area of 14,000 sqm and we paint them in our own powder paint shop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":12332,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","_daim_seo_power":"1000","_daim_enable_ail":"1","footnotes":""},"categories":[125],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-from-the-life-of-neva"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
