On Friday, 10 October 2025, Czechoslovak Group marked its 30th anniversary with celebrations in Ostrava. This exceptional event brought together people from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and other countries who collectively shape CSG and contribute to its growth and success.
More than seven thousand employees, partners, and collaborators gathered at the Ostravar Arena in Vítkovice for the event. No Name, Michal David, Marek Ztracený, and Chinaski performed, creating a unique atmosphere together with the audience. The program was rich, featuring a laser show and the essential cutting of the birthday cake.
The celebration symbolically reflected three decades of transformation, from a family business into an international industrial and technology group operating virtually around the globe today. It was also a tribute to the values CSG is built on: teamwork, courage, and perseverance.
The program also included a presentation of the partnership with the Czech Olympic Team, which CSG launched this year. Olympic legends Barbora Špotáková and Josef Dostál, who is also the reigning world champion in sprint canoeing, took the stage. Their presence underscored the values that connect sport and industry: performance, discipline, fair play, and mutual respect.
Lukáš Klíma and Radek Boháč, members of the Czech curling team currently training hard for the Winter Olympic Games, were there as well. Their determination and team spirit are an inspiration not only for athletes but for everyone working toward shared goals in industry and technology.
The cooperation with the Czech Olympic Committee represents not only CSG’s support for Czech sport, but also an expression of respect for the principles that underpin success in every field of human endeavor.
Thirty years of Czechoslovak Group is the story of people who are building the future of Czech, European, and global industry together, with respect for tradition, innovation, and responsibility to society.
