Our work
In 2011, we decided we wanted to create equipment for electronics manufacturing. Why? To do it better and in our own way. We were three enthusiasts: Jindra, a technician with decent English; Jarda, a salesman; and Ondra, an economist. Our story began in a rented 35m² room. It required courage—and good coffee.
We focused on soldering technology and equipment for PCB manufacturing. At that time, the market offered two options: low-quality and cheap, or high-quality and expensive. We found a golden middle ground. We became partners with development and specialized workplaces, schools, and universities. We were doing well, and by 2013, we needed an additional 40m² and even more coffee.
As the company grew, so did our customer base. To meet their demands, we had to expand our product range and find new suppliers. In 2014, we participated in the Amper trade fair in Brno for the first time. Today, we regularly exhibit at the Productronica trade fair in Munich.
We hadn’t planned it, but in 2015, completely new doors opened for us. We established our own brand, Mipec, and began designing and manufacturing. What was the main goal? To produce in a dry, ecological, and above all, economical way.
Our brand
The very first prototype of a CNC milling machine for PCB production was born. Thanks to its unique design and software solution, we were willing to travel 2,000 km within 24 hours. We're not bragging when we say we know what we're doing. We simply have to know our machines inside and out, down to the very last screw. Isn't this the perfect moment to point out that we have our own know-how? After all, we supply our milling machines to customers all around the world.
As our own production expanded, we had no choice but to knock down a wall, rent additional space, and buy a new coffee machine. We love the creaky sound of grinding coffee and the aroma that fills the office. It always makes us chuckle mischievously to see who ends up "grinding empty" and who draws the short straw, becoming the so-called "Black Coffee Pete" this time around.
And how are we doing today? We're no longer renting—we have our own space. There are more of us now. It takes a bit longer in the morning to catch up and ask how everyone's doing. Meetings are longer, we buy larger packs of high-quality coffee beans, and most importantly, we still genuinely enjoy working together.
