History of STR Praha s.r.o.
STR Praha s.r.o. is the successor of the "STR Praha" development centre, which was founded in 1967 by the monopoly producer of metal packaging "OBAL", later "STROJOBAL" in the former Czechoslovakia.
From the originally wide range of construction and development activities, we have specialised in transport systems and handling of components during the production of packaging over the past 20 years. Our narrow specialisation leads to a high proportion of exports of our products. We export directly to practically all of Europe. Our conveyor systems, supplied to well-known German suppliers of production lines, are then indirectly exported all over the world.
