COMPANY MANAGEMENT

LADISLAV BEDNÁŘ
Company Owner and CEO
"At the beginning, there was just an idea when my partners and I founded a company for exporting agricultural machinery abroad. The first years were difficult, we didn't have our own production facilities and everything was coming together slowly. The success of our company is based on many things, namely the decision to invest into our own production facility. Thanks to finding gaps in the market and manufacturing machines tailored to the actual customer requirements, we have become a renowned player in the demanding competitive environment. The entire process of growth is about strong visions, endurance and continuously seeking compromise. I am truly proud of what BEDNAR means for many of our customers and partners. I look towards the future with determination and I believe that the ideas my sons and colleagues have in their heads today will be implemented just like twenty-five years ago, when we were at the very beginning."
JAN BEDNÁŘ
Sales Director
Commencement date: 15.08.2005
"The desire to offer BEDNAR machines to a continuously increasing number of customers is what drives us forward in these difficult times. It is what makes our young and dynamically evolving company different to the competition. In the past twenty-five years, we have introduced machines and innovative technologies to the market that incorporate real farmers' knowledge and experience and our unique know-how."
VOJTĚCH BEDNÁŘ
Production Director
Commencement date: 01.11.2005
"Production is a living mechanism and it's as true as ever today. I'm proud of what we have accomplished in the production plant in the past years. We have built a modern production plant with software control. I hope we will be able to find more quality employees for the production in the future to help us move the potential of the BEDNAR brand forward."
PETR PROCHÁZKA
Deputy Executive
Commencement date: 07.01.1998
"We have achieved the current success thanks to the stable staff base we have built in twenty-five years. During those years, we have managed to overcome many obstacles, which has strengthened us. Today, we can lean on experts and quality employees who move the Company forward. I believe we will continue doing that in the future and our Company will continue doing well."
DAVID RYČL
Marketing Director
Commencement date: 03.05.2004
"In the relatively short history of twenty-five years, we have become a recognized partner of modern farmers and top sellers of agricultural technology. We have never lived on our history, we have always worked hard for the future. I spend a lot of time in personal meetings with end customers. I can say that our position has changed considerably in the course of time and today, we are not afraid to knock on the door of any farmer demanding top technology."
JAN SLAVÍK
Technical and IT Director
Commencement date: 01.07.2010
"We have set the highest objectives in the field of information technology, both in terms of precision control and production monitoring, warehouse management automation, and towards our customers and business network. We want to maximally simplify and accelerate our support, therefore we put a lot of effort in developing new portals, such as the BEDNAR Configurator and other user applications that facilitate our customers' everyday work and our mutual communication."
JIŘI MARTINEC
Economic and Investment Director
Commencement date: 28.09.1998
"I can easily confirm that BEDNAR FMT is a socially responsible and economically stable company. We have been achieving good results in the long term, for which we are grateful to our business partners and customers who place their trust in BEDNAR machines. We have been steadily growing since the beginning and we return a considerable part of the profit into developing new machines, technologies and into our production plant."
