The first visit of the Ukrainian partners of Knauf Insulation to the glass wool thermal insulation plant in Krupka (Czech) took place on 17 October 2008. The guests familiarised with the full production cycle of glass wool thermal insulation products, starting with the preparation of raw materials and ending with the packaging of the finished products.

Four days in the Czech were filled with an inspiring travel programme, which brought us to the famous resort in Teplice, well known due to its spas and beautiful parks.

Prague, the pearl of the Czech culture, boggled our imagination with its beauty and numerous cultural heritage monuments, including St. Veit Cathedral, Hradcany, Charles' Bridge, Staromestske Namesti, the National Theatre, etc. The nice October weather contributed to the good entertainment and unforgettable impressions. The golden fall has intertwined its colourful features into the red and yellow Czech ensemble with its bright colours.

The four days in the hospitable Czech Republic ran by as a single day, and the scope of unforgettable impressions left pleasant memories and the desire to come back. We were elated to hear the warm words of gratitude from our partners, who took part in the trip.

The trip was a real success. It helped to solidify the team, to develop new plans and co-operation prospects.
