STAVEK WINERY, THE CZECH REPUBLIC Based in Nemcicky in the heart of South Moravia in the Czech Republic, VINO J. Stavek winery was founded in 1929. Run as a family business for five generations, the winery is today run by the founder’s great grandson Jan Stavek, a prominent winery expert who teaches at leading winery schools, sits on winery committees and produces wines that win the top prizes in wine competitions. Mr. Stavek develops his business with a focus on producing top quality wine and maximizing effectiveness and last year the winery produced more than 35,000 botttles of wine. With demand for his wines increasing every year, it was decided that the current facility needed a major expansion and the winery now has a new purpose-built production facility which can produce up to 65,000 bottles per year as well as store the older wines which are real pride and joy of any winery enterprise.

ACO was able to supply BASF’s chemically resistant UCRETE floor, ACO slot channels and ACO gullies. This high quality combination of flooring and drainage simplifies cleaning in production and also ensures that the facility meets the highest standards for hygiene. Precise integration of flooring and drainage also prevents future problems with cracks which can harbor bacteria. The ACO solution also allows the winery to use forklifts and, in addition, maximizes the safety of winery employees. Mr Stávek comments: “We now have an ideal solution which fulfills all the demands of winery production. The great advantage of using ACO drainage and UCRETE flooring is that there are no joints on the production facility floor. As joints tend to hold in impurities which can harbor bacteria and create foul odors, this could impact on the quality of the wine we produce. ACO’s drainage products also have an absolutely smooth surface with no sharp corners or edges. This prevents sediment deposition and allows fast and effective cleaning. “Stainless steel is also a highly durable material which is really important for any winery business. My business is based at Winery Court which was established by my great grandfather in 1929 and I’m still thankful that he did not compromise on the quality of the original building. I’m certain that the improvements made to the drainage and flooring now will still be effective when my children take over the business and I know it is worth making the investment in such an important part of our facility.” Customer testimonial ACO modular slot channel 20 ACO hygienic gully - telescopic J.
