Company owner Prof. Klaus Fischer opened the ceremonial event which was attended by over 300 guests. In his speech he looked back on the successful development of the Czech fischer sites, highlighting the positive influence of the new building on the region. “We now have sufficient means to optimally carry out processes here in the Czech Republic”, said Prof. Fischer.

The company received a special honour with a visit by the Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka and by the vice-chairman of the committee of the senate Ivo Bárek. Both emphasised the huge significance of the modern new construction. “This new production facility is an impressive symbol for progress in the region”, praised Prime Minister Sobotka. Senator Bárek, who provided significant support for the approval of the new building, added: “Prof. Fischer’s decision to further develop the fischer site in the Czech Republic with this production facility is a wonderful sign”. The two guests of honour subsequently cut a red ribbon together with Prof. Fischer in the presence of all employees to officially inaugurate the site.

The new construction and the renovation of the existing buildings enable the comprehensive optimisation of all production processes, further increasing the competitive advantage of fischer Czech Republic.
