What JD Dvořák does
JD Dvořák, s.r.o. is a Prague-based exclusive distributor and service provider for testing and measurement technologies, operating exclusively in the Czech Republic and Slovak markets since 1993. The company holds exclusive territorial representation for nine world-leading equipment manufacturers — Weiss Technik, MTS Systems, IMV Corporation, Nikon Metrology, Innovatest, Metkon, Göttfert, Bareiss, and HuDe — covering environmental simulation chambers, electrodynamic vibration systems, servohydraulic testing machines, hardness testers, microscopes, rheological instruments, and passive safety testing systems. Its own technology assets include an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited testing laboratory (since 2014), an ISO 17025-accredited calibration laboratory (Lab No. 2298, since 2001), an in-house custom manufacturing line for environmental simulation and cooling equipment (launched 2023), and the JD Academy training program (launched 2022).
The company generates revenue through six streams: (1) one-time equipment sales of represented brands, (2) accredited testing laboratory services, (3) accredited on-site calibration services, (4) operational leasing of testing equipment, (5) custom manufacturing of PLC-controlled testing systems, and (6) paid training seminars and workshops. Pricing is quote-based for equipment and services; training seminars range from approximately 4,860 CZK to 19,500 CZK per person. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via a technical sales team and service technicians distributed across Czech Republic and Slovakia, supported by a website, technical blog, LinkedIn, YouTube, and LABOREXPO trade show participation.
JD Dvořák serves six primary verticals: automotive (Škoda Auto, VW, Hyundai, KIA, Valeo, ZF, Magna, OP Mobility), aerospace (TRL Space Systems), defense (Česká zbrojovka, member of the Association of Defense and Security Industry of the Czech Republic), electronics (Bel Power Solutions, onsemi), energy (ORLEN Unipetrol), and research/education (ČVUT Czech Technical University, TÜV SÜD Czech). The company is family-owned, led by Tomáš Dvořák (CEO), Jaroslav Dvořák (Managing Director), and Lenka Dvořáková (Finance), with 11-50 employees headquartered at Toužimská 897, Prague-Letňany.
