Reko Praha, A.s.

What Reko Praha, A.s. does

REKO PRAHA, a.s. is a Czech-headquartered construction and engineering company founded in 1994, specializing in turnkey cooling tower construction, repair, and servicing for power generation and heavy industry. The company designs and builds both natural draft atmospheric cooling towers and forced draft fan-driven cooling towers, complemented by in-house manufacturing of proprietary components including REKO 20 and REKO 25 film cooling fill blocks, spray nozzles, mist eliminators, diffusers, axial fans, and slow-run fan motors (e.g., PMH45-180D/400V). It also produces the MACH-R 20 and MACH-R 60 microcoolers for smaller cooling circuits, operates a reinforcement steel production facility in Benátky nad Jizerou, and executes monolithic reinforced concrete structures using DOKA system formwork. As general contractor and general designer, it delivers industrial buildings and infrastructure projects across the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland, with selected international engagements in Kosovo and Romania.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales secured through competitive tenders and direct negotiations with energy utilities and industrial operators, with reference customers including ČEZ, Slovenské elektrárne, KEK Kosovo, Energetika Třinec, Škoda Praha Invest, UNIPETROL, Třinecké železárny, Mittal Steel Ostrava, Mondi Štětí, and Takenaka Europe. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time turnkey construction contracts and hardware sales of proprietary cooling components, supplemented by recurring maintenance and modernization service contracts. The firm is a member of the Cooling Technology Institute (CTI) since 2009 and holds reserved-construction contractor certification in Slovakia.

Recent strategic positioning includes a 2026 trilateral cooperation memorandum with HOCHTIEF CZ and John Cockerill Hamon, plus MOUs with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power and KEPCO E&C for nuclear and energy-sector projects, signaling an intent to scale beyond the Central European core market. The company is privately held with no public listing or external institutional investors disclosed; leadership is anchored by the Kolařík family (Tomáš Kolařík as CEO, Vladimír Kolařík as CFO), with a 12-person named senior team covering commercial, technical, production, engineering, quality, HR, and country-unit functions.
