In the B2B sector, only 18 companies received the brand award and we are all the more proud to have won the title, which is a sign of special status and brand recognition, not only on the local market.

GREEN SOLUTION PRESENTATION IN THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
A meeting and debate between representatives of the Association of Czech Railway Industry (ACRI) and representatives of the European Parliament took place on 8 November in the European Parliament. Its main purpose was to discuss the current challenges and problems of the sector, sustainability and green solutions offered by Czech companies in the field of railway transport. DAKO-CZ has a great advantage in this area. It is the first to have proven references in the implementation of electromechanical brake systems in tram bogies, in Poznan, Dauvgavpils or Woltersdorf.
