1. Establishment of the company
 


 Production site 
  

The company of HC electronics s.r.o. was established in 1992 by separation of a part of organization from Tesla Hradec Králové corporation.
From 1993 until 1999 the company performed its activities in facilities rented by Tesla. In October 1999 the company transferred its production activities to own building with a production area of
1.200 m2 situated in the city of Hradec Králové near the main road to Prague.
The largest customers are companies supplying finished products for radio and telecommunication equipment, power industry, military and car industries and recently also manufacturers of lighting equipment.

 
2. Legal form
 

HC electronics has been a limited liability company since its establishment. The owners of HC electronics are members of the corporate management.

 
3. Manufacturing activities
 


  HC electronics products 
 

After its establishment the company followed the tradition of Tesla Hradec Králové and the manufacturing activities included development and production of crystal oscillators and thick film hybrid circuits.
With the worldwide decrease of a demand for production of thick film hybrid circuits during 1994,
the company started preparations for introduction of a new technology for assembly of printed circuit boards using the surface mount assembly method. In 1995 this technology was complemented by the classic through hole assembly. Thanks to this we can provide the customers with a complete service in the area of printed circuit boards assembly.
In order to assist our customer with ensuring electronic components for their own products, since 1995 we have been offering SMD components and especially SMD component sets, (which are used by the research personnel, repairmen, small dealers of electronics) and similar products.

 
 
4. Number of employees and production volume
 
At the beginning of the production the company of HC electronics had 18 employees and the production volume was approximately US$ 80.000 annually. At the end of 2000 the company had 80 employees and the production volume exceeded US$ 800.000 this year.
It is worth noting that the export increased from the initial share of 0% up to the current 30% of the production volume.
The corporate management continuously builds technology with capacity reserves and pursues the flexible production output with the possibility of its increase based on actual requirements.
