From 2017, BOUKAL s.r.o. will present itself with a new logo and corporate identity, which is already to be a part of the FOR INDUSTRY Trade Fair held in May.

At the trade fair, BOUKAL s.r.o. is planning to present a model from the series of the SERVO milling machine tools from the Austria-based firm “Bernardo”.

These innovations in the world of machine tools provide perfect work conditions in the milling sector. One of the greatest advantages is the servomotor which drives the shifting movement in the directions of all three axes. The motor is resistant and is comfortably controlled from the control panel. By using a turning controller it is possible to continuously regulate the speed of the shifting movement of each axis, and the switching of the machine shifting is controlled there by means of one lever (instead of three).

The company is the exclusive importer of Bernardo goods for the Czech Republic, and besides specialised advisory services and deliveries of machines it is able to ensure suitable accessories according to your needs and such services as setting and commissioning of the machine or training of operators.

BOUKAL s.r.o. can offer a wide range of goods in the field of machines, tools, tooling equipment, abrasives and grinding materials.

He graduated from the University of Economics in Prague, Faculty of Economics; in 2010 he completed doctor’s studies at the Czech Technical University, Faculty of Electrical Engineering. He worked at the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic, at first at the Economic Policy Department, Section of Economic Instruments, from 2004 he was the head of the separate Climate Change Section and after transformation of the separate section to a department he became its director. He was responsible for the issues of the Czech Republic policy in the area of climate change and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, especially implementation of the system of business in emission allowances and preparation of the first national allocation plan of the Czech Republic. In summer 2006 he left the Ministry of the Environment and started to work on the position of the Environmental Products Manager of ČEZ, and since 2010 he has been the head of the Clean Technologies Section of ČEZ, where he is responsible, among other things, also for the pilot project entitled “ČEZ Electromobility”.

We have already started preparing an attractive accompanying programme – lectures and seminars will be taking place throughout the four days the exhibition is held, in the Congress Hall (capacity of 650 people) as well as in three smaller conference rooms. The very first day, 9 May 2016, you will be able to attend LEADERS OF CZECH EXPORT, an event focused on export, attended by top representatives of the government. The 3rd ENERGO SUMMIT, a leading event of the energy sector, will take place on Thursday, 11 May 2016. Its main topics this year will be SMART ENERGY and ELECTROMOBILITY. Fans of 3D technologies will certainly aprreciate 3Dexpo, the largest 3D conference and exhibition in the Czech Republic.

Most manufacturers complain about the lack of skilled technical workers. PRAGUE INDUSTRIAL TRADE FAIRS aim to interconnect the demand with the offer in its newly introduced sector FOR JOBS, an exhibition of job vacancies in industry. You will get informed soon about other events planned for PRAGUE INDUSTRIAL TRADE FAIRS.

Dear exhibitors, current and future ones. There are many changes made in the upcoming INDUSTRIAL TRADE FAIRS. Why? Because you know about our trade fairs, but you do not take part in it. Our aim is to improve the quality and turnout of the event. This is why we decided to go for a new strategy which we call INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION 5.0. What does this term refer to? We will increase the number of professional visitors and exhibitors, we will actively approach visitors from the sectors of power engineering, machinery, automotive, logistics, etc. We will also cooperate with relevant associations, we will negotiate provision of auspices and support by state institutions and we will enhance marketing campaigns in the form of advertisement, interviews, articles, billboards, banners, PPC campaigns. Do you want to know more? We will be glad to introduce our vision personally. Contact our managers.

THE INDUSTRIAL TRADE FAIRS 2016 are already over. Within the framework of this year’s set, FOR INDUSTRY, FOR ENERGO, FOR LOGISTIC, FOR 3D, FOR INFOSYS were organised with attendance of 202 exhibitors on a gross exhibition area of 7,000 m2. Together with the industrial trade fairs, also the REKLAMA/POLYGRAF Trade Fair was organised at the PVA EXPO Prague Exhibition Centre. Altogether 13,894 professional visitors came to see the event.

An interesting professional accompanying programme was prepared for visitors for the entire 4 days in 5 halls. The exhibitors could register their news into the already traditional GRAND PRIX competition, and the best exhibition expositions within the framework of the TOP EXPO competition were publicly announced as well. In this competition, the trade fair organiser evaluated the most interesting and the most creative expositions in two categories: FLEX-Elektronářadí, s.r.o. won in the category up to 50m2, while the exposition of TAJMAC – ZPS a.s. was the winner in the category over 50m2.  We would like to congratulate all winners and express our thanks to both the exhibitors and visitors. Already now you can see photographs from the trade fair, and the official Final Report will follow soon. We will keep you informed about the innovations and next year’s edition.

Altogether 12 exhibits were registered in the competition for the best exhibit/technology, which was organised by ABF, a.s. The assessment criteria included technical characteristics, progressive technologies, innovation level, material, energy savings, ecological aspects, competitive edge, as well as application in the market. Valuation of the GRAND PRIX competition took place on Tuesday, 10 May 2016. The Expert Jury chaired by doc. Ing. Stanislav Maňas, CSc. appraised the following exhibits which obtained the GRAND PRIX awards without specification of a detailed order: CheckGIS (CheckTerra s.r.o.), mobile CNC milling centre XYZ 2-OP (REXIM spol. s r.o.), battery for balancing fluctuations of solar power plants and energy storage (HE3DA, s.r.o.).

The GRAND PRIX Honourable Mention was granted to ARC-H a.s. for FASTMIG X and to Advantage-fl.cz s.r.o. for DF 5HD TOOLS. 

We would like to thank all the registered firms and congratulate the winners!
