What Metrostav does
Metrostav a.s. is the largest construction company in the Czech Republic, founded in 1971 as a specialized tunnelling and underground construction firm and headquartered in Prague (Koželužská 2450/4, 180 00 Praha 8). It operates as a public limited company (akciová společnost) and is the controlling entity of the Skupina Metrostav diversified construction conglomerate, with wholly-owned subsidiaries including Metrostav DIZ, Metrostav Facility, and Elanor spol. s r.o., plus sub-brands Metrostav Development, Metrostav DIZ, and Metrostav CZ, and a branch in Slovakia. The company delivers a full-stack construction services platform across seven business segments: underground construction (tunnelling, metro), transport infrastructure, commercial buildings, residential construction, industrial construction, ecological/environmental projects, and other civil engineering works.
Its service offering is organized around nine named technology lines: tunnelling and underground works, reinforced concrete structures, bridges, steel structures, concrete roads, asphalt roads, earthworks, utility networks, and Building Information Management (BIM). It owns and operates proprietary TBM equipment (TBM Adéla and Tonda with a 10.4m cutting shield), holds 8 patents and 9 industrial utility models at the Czech Industrial Property Office, and has delivered landmark projects including the 4km Ejpovice railway tunnel, the longest in the Czech Republic. The company is ISO 37301 and ISO 37001 certified (April 2022), has 11 LEED/BREEAM certified projects, and reports the ability to run up to 300 concurrent projects.
Metrostav generates revenue through project-based, one-off contracts with both public and private clients, secured via competitive tendering in Czech public procurement and direct negotiation with private investors. Pricing is quote-driven and non-disclosed. Customers span government transport, water, healthcare, and law enforcement (Czech Police, Oblastní nemocnice Kolín, Svaz vodovodů a kanalizací Žďársko) and private enterprises (Škoda Auto, České naft Produktovod/CRUD, KD Slavie). The company operates in 13 European countries, including Germany (Münster bridge project) and Slovakia, with nine regional offices across the Czech Republic. A new group management structure under a president role takes effect July 1, 2026, and the company reported record group turnover in 2025.
