Czech Grand Design 2006 and 2007

Annual awards draw the attention of professionals and the public to exceptional people and their achievements in most fields of human endeavour. The same is valid for the Czech Grand Design competition which confers prestige awards for designer work. Karlovarské Minerální Vody has been putting great emphasis on design as shown by the company’s cooperation with the Alessi company, the Pinifarina studio and designers like Bořek Šípek, Rony Plesl, Ivan Jelinek, and indeed Jan Čapek who was nominated for the Czech Grand Design 2006 Product Designer of the Year Award and was awarded the second prize for his design of the Mattoni Sport bottle. Karlovarské Minerální Vody was nominated for the Producer of the Year Award at the Czech Grand Design 2006 and the Company highly values the third position it managed to secure in this category. The implementation of the new design of the 1.5l Mattoni bottle (for more information click here) and ongoing cooperation with Jan Čapek resulted in a nomination for the Producer of the Year at the Czech Grand Design 2007 and Jan Čapek was nominated for the Designer of the Year.

Employer of the Year

Lidové noviny issues a chart of the companies that appear to be potentially attractive employers for the university and college graduates. The results of the Employer of the Year survey held annually by the International Students´ Organisation (AIESEC) serve as a very good criterion of the attractiveness of companies and professions. This year, almost 1,500 students in the final years of the Czech universities and colleges participated in the survey and answered questions regarding the industry or area, specific company and position, which they would prefer working in. The companies presenting traditional Czech brands - Škoda Auto, Karlovarské minerální vody, Plzeňský Prazdroj or the Czech Airlines – captured the top positions in the chart. Regarding a specific position or work in a company, for several years now the highest preferences have been going towards financial management, marketing and advertising, personnel management, international trade or strategic marketing and planning.

The Blue Rhodos for Mattoni

The Good-Quality Corporate Image of Karlovarské minerální vody. In the field of mineral water producers, KMV, a.s. took the first place in the competition for the best corporate image for the fourth time in a row. Already in its seventh year, the competition was organised by the Rhodos Association comprised of GfK Praha, a marketing research agency, of Economia Publishing House and of Ogilvy CID. Rhodos judged the quality of the corporate image of companies in a procedure where, in the first stage, 50 Czech managers designated five parameters that in their own opinions were the most important for a company’s image. Afterwards, in the second stage, 500 Czech managers were addressed in a telephone inquiry. They were asked to spontaneously name five companies in each of the 19 categories that Rhodos assesses companies in, then to evaluate them and to decide to what degree they meet the separate parameters. The criteria varied by field, but often they included customer approach, reliability and product quality. New this year was the Blue Rhodos Prize that was awarded to the companies that took first place at least three times in a row. The Mattoni brand of Karlovarské minerální vody, a. s. received the prize after taking first place for the fourth time in a row this year.
