Hakel

In 2002, Hakel ventured beyond its Czech borders. Hakel Russia was established in St. Petersburg. This expansion marked a significant milestone for the company, demonstrating its growing international presence. Hakel, originally founded in Hradec Kralove in 1994 by Jaroslav Hudec, had quickly become a leading Czech manufacturer of surge arresters and insulation monitors. The name “Hakel” is an abbreviation of “Hradec Kralove Elektro,” reflecting its origins. Hakel’s products protect various technologies, machines, and appliances from surges worldwide. They offer surge protection solutions for diverse applications, from family homes to industrial settings like oil pipelines, gas pipelines, photovoltaics, power plants, and railways. Hakel also develops and manufactures insulation monitors for isolated IT networks. These monitors provide comprehensive solutions for monitoring isolation status in hospitals, industrial settings, and specialized applications, ensuring the safety of both devices and human lives. Hakel’s commitment to its customers is evident in its focus on mutually beneficial and stable cooperation. They offer a wide range of products and high-quality accompanying services, including education and technical support. A friendly approach to customer needs is central to Hakel’s strategy. Beyond its commercial activities, Hakel supports various community initiatives, including individuals, foundations, schools, kindergartens, theaters, and other organizations. Today, the company is led by Pavel Hudec, son of the founder, as the sole owner. This intergenerational continuity underscores Hakel’s commitment to its founding principles. The establishment of Hakel Russia in St. Petersburg in 2002 demonstrates the company’s continued growth and its ambition to provide its innovative surge protection and insulation monitoring solutions to a wider global audience.
