Tannery Josef Strnad
Company Details
Company Introduction
A family tradition of more than 100 years More than one hundred years of its existence means the Josef Strnad Tannery ranks among one of the oldest Czech establishments of its kind that have never stopped running. The tannery survived two world wars, forty years of the communist regime and the influx of cheap Asian production unharmed. In 1902 Mr. Josef Strnad started a small tanning-house in a Czech town called Zamberk. In 1946, i.e. after 44 years of successful business activities, Mr. Strnads son decided to enlarge production. He and his friend Mr. Jaroslav Dohnalek purchased large business premises in Solnice. Unfortunately, the new establishment remained in the hands of these two owners for two years only as it was nationalized, like all other private companies, after the communist coup in February 1948. Luckily, the company did not follow the gloomy fate of many other companies that ceased to exist. Its operations continued for another 44 years as part of the state-owned company Rukavickarske zavody Dobris (Glove Makers of Dobris). After the fall of the communist regime, namely in 1992 the tannery was restituted by Josef Strnads and Jaroslav Dohnaleks descendants who have continued the family tradition ever since.Quality production only The company processes only high-quality rawhide and semi-finished products from select suppliers worldwide.
