After more than 40 successful years in business, a new chapter begins for Engel-Gematex. Effective April 2025, the long-established laundry technology company has a new owner: Mr. Tomáš Černý has taken over management and will lead the Engel family’s life’s work into a new era. 

Mr. Černý, a mechanical engineering graduate, brings many years of experience from senior positions – including as an authorized officer and CEO in related industries. With great respect for the past and a clear vision for the future, he aims to preserve what has proven itself while introducing fresh ideas. His goals are to further develop the strengths of Engel-Gematex, whilst striving for continuous improvement for the benefit of our customers, partners, and employees. 

What stays the same? The familiar Engel-Gematex team remains in place. Your trusted contacts will continue to support you with the same commitment, expertise, and personal dedication. Ms. Silvie and Eva Engel will gradually step back from day-to-day operations but will continue to support the company in the background. 

An important strategic step will be an increased involvement of our Czech subsidiary, Engel-Gematex s.r.o., which will take on more responsibility in operational and commercial matters. 

What does this mean for you? Reliability, quality, and customer-oriented solutions will remain the cornerstones of our work. You can continue to rely on a partnership-based collaboration and innovative laundry technology at the highest level. 

We sincerely thank you for the trust you have placed in us over the years – and we look forward to continuing our successful journey together in the future. 

Best regards, 

Family Engel, Hr. Tomáš Černý & Team Engel-Gematex
