SmVaK provides services to 1.3 million
clients in the Czech Republic and in Poland
SmVaK is the leading water company in
the Moravian and Silesian regions, pro-
viding services to a population of 1.3
million. Part of Aqualia since 2006, the
company formerly belonged to the State
of Czechoslovakia, then to the towns in
the region, until it was finally acquired by
several private companies.
Aqualia’s subsidiary is special since, as
the owner of the infrastructures, it does
not operate as a concession (therefore,
the term for its activities is indefinite) and,
is one of the few examples of a company
that provides services across the border
through its infrastructures to more than
100,000 inhabitants in Poland.
Since Aqualia took over management
control of SmVak through a transfer of
knowhow and the management models
of the FCC subsidiary, the Czech com-
pany started to record significant finan-
cial and operating growth. SmVak is also
committed to improving the quality of ser-
vices and has won several awards over
the past few years:
•
“Best Company in 2008 for Environ-
mental Aspects” granted by the go-
vernment of Moravia.
•
Prize for the “Best hydraulic project in
2010 in the Czech Republic” granted
by SOVAK.
•
AAA Distinction (excellent) in 2010
and 2011 given by Cekia Award.
The positioning of this Czech company
and the modern management methods
that it has implemented in recent years
makes SmVaK the ideal platform for
spreading out to other markets in Central
and Eastern Europe, offering its better
management capabilities and taking ad-
vantage of the European Funds earmar-
ked for developing infrastructures.
