What ATC Drašar s.r.o. does

ATC Drašar s.r.o. is a Czech-based industrial equipment manufacturer and systems integrator founded in 1993 in Svatava (Karlovy Vary Region). The company designs, builds, and services conveyor systems, single-purpose machines, and air-cushion-based heavy-load transport technology, and distributes complementary components including ITOH DENKI electric rollers, ALWAYSE ball units, and Maschinenbau Kitz aluminium profiles. Its product surface spans roller, belt, chain, modular-belt, timing-belt, and pallet circulation conveyors, plus custom-engineered solutions such as labelling machines, pallet stackers, 90° transfer machines, and elevators.

The company combines custom engineering with exclusive distribution rights, including the long-standing ALWAYSE ball unit partnership held since 2000 and the official Maschinenbau Kitz aluminium profile distribution in the Czech Republic. Its air cushion transport line, sourced from Aerofilm Systems B.V. (Netherlands), enables machine transport and positioning accuracy of 1 mm with load capacities ranging from 4 tonnes to 480 tonnes, supporting both portable equipment sets and permanent installations. Service offerings include machine transport, conveyor belt welding, industrial 3D printing, dry ice machine cleaning (in partnership with DRY ICE TECHNOLOGY s.r.o.), and the OptiFlow Care recurring maintenance program.

Commercially, ATC Drašar operates a quote-based B2B project model with direct enterprise field sales targeting manufacturing companies, logistics and distribution centers, and industrial automation integrators, plus a self-serve e-commerce store (eshop-drasar.cz) for components. The customer base spans tier-1 multinationals (Foxconn, Siemens, Škoda Auto, DHL, Lear, Koito, Vitesco) and mid-market Czech manufacturers (Robotec, TORF ZIEGLER, MSM, KD TEC, Futaba Czech). The company is a privately held, family-owned s.r.o. with a 5-person team, founded by Ing. Josef Drašar and rebranded from Ložiska Drašar to its current name in 2016.

Broad incumbents

• TGW Logistics Group: Austrian-headquartered integrator of conveyor, palletizing and warehouse automation systems serving European manufacturers and logistics operators. Comparable to ATC Drašar because both deliver conveyor-based intralogistics solutions to enterprise customers, though TGW operates at much larger scale.
• Swisslog: KUKA-owned integrator of conveyor and warehouse automation for distribution centers and manufacturing. Comparable to ATC Drašar in providing conveyor systems and intralogistics solutions to industrial customers, but at substantially larger scale and broader geography.
• Dematic: Global supplier of intralogistics and material handling automation including conveyors, sortation and pallet handling. Comparable to ATC Drašar in the conveyor and pallet circulation core, but with a much broader portfolio and multinational footprint.

Regional players

• HÖRMANN Intralogistics: German provider of conveyor, palletizing and intralogistics solutions primarily serving DACH-region manufacturing and warehousing customers. Comparable to ATC Drašar in delivering conveyor-based intralogistics projects for industrial clients.
• BÖHM Transport- und Fördertechnik: German regional conveyor systems integrator serving Central European manufacturing and logistics customers. Comparable to ATC Drašar in scope of conveyor and material handling projects, with a regional rather than global footprint similar to ATC Drašar's Czech focus.

Direct peers

• Itoh Denki: Japanese manufacturer of motor-driven rollers (Power Moller) and conveyor transfer modules used in ATC Drašar's roller conveyors. Comparable because they are the upstream component supplier and global player in the same motorised roller category ATC Drašar integrates into Czech projects.
• Interroll Holding: Swiss-listed manufacturer of conveyor rollers, drum motors and modular conveyor platform components. Comparable to ATC Drašar because both supply the roller and component building blocks used in conveyor systems, though Interroll operates globally as a component OEM.
• Aerofilm Systems B.V. Dutch manufacturer of air-cushion transport technology and components, the principal technology supplier for ATC Drašar's air-cushion product line. Comparable because they share the underlying air-cushion transport technology and overlapping end-customer use cases.
• mk Technology Group (Maschinenbau Kitz): German manufacturer of aluminium profile conveyor systems and framing. Directly comparable because ATC Drašar is a Czech distributor of Maschinenbau Kitz profiles; mk also designs complete conveyor lines using the same profile platform.
• FlexLink (Coesia): Sweden-based manufacturer of modular conveyors and material handling solutions for assembly and packaging lines. Comparable to ATC Drašar in offering roller, belt and chain conveyor systems plus customized automation for manufacturing customers.
