Tapping new markets

The extension of the EU to countries in Central and Eastern Europe not only means the countries of Europe are coming closer together politically and economically, but also shows what economic possibilities are associated with it. For the HENGE Group, this market opening means consistent further development of existing trading relationships with Eastern European states.

For the HENGE-Group, this market opening means consistent further development of existing trading relationships with Eastern European states. This challenge was met by the starting up of O+H Prague in May 1999. Together with the managing shareholder, Jindrich Otipka, at the time the main interest was to develop new raw material sources in the Czech Republic.

Thanks to the commitment of Mr Otipka, both purchasing and sales synergies developed. At the same time, a logistics system was created for O+H's construction materials department, which enables customer and process-oriented solutions to be found quickly.

O+H has excellent construction material and sales expertise and is considered the contact for self-levelling anhydrite screed applications in Eastern Europe.
