MPJ

What MPJ does

MPJ spol. s r.o. is a privately held Czech firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Žďár nad Sázavou, operating two integrated divisions: MPJ Grafické Studio (graphic design and printing) and MPJ IT Solutions (web development, IT services, and hosting). The company serves small and mid-sized businesses, retailers, restaurants, and e-commerce operators across the Czech Republic with some ad hoc Slovak clients, including named projects for České Cukrovinky, Sweetmix, and Restaurace U Jana Žižky. The firm is family-run by the Kirchner family and operates with a small team of 1–10 employees, combining a local retail-services presence with a growing digital footprint.

The technical stack spans production digital print (XEROX Versant 2100 Press acquired in 2017, DUPLO DBM and BOWAY K5 binding systems added in 2019), PRESTASHOP-based e-commerce builds, STORMWARE POHODA accounting-server hosting, SupportSystem POS solutions, and standard web/VPS hosting infrastructure. Large-format printing, offset printing, promotional items, photo products, and IT infrastructure and security services round out the catalog. The 2024 launch of tisknutrika.cz marked the company's first direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform for custom-printed apparel and mugs, signaling an attempt to reach retail buyers beyond B2B project work.

The business model is a hybrid of one-time project revenue (graphic design, custom printing, e-commerce builds) and recurring managed services (web hosting from 50 CZK/month, VPS hosting from 159 CZK/month, POHODA hosting from 490 CZK/month). Hardware sales, consumables, and POS deployments supplement services. Go-to-market is regional and relationship-driven, supplemented by the company's website and recent consumer e-commerce channel. In 2024 the company divested its Samoobsluha u Pily convenience-store operation, refocusing on the higher-margin graphic design, IT, and e-commerce core.
