The Czech company nanoSPACE, the largest e-shop for nanotechnology products and a manufacturer of anti-mite bedding with a nanofibre membrane, has won this year’s National Quality Award in the START programme. The award is organised by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Czech Quality Council and is aligned with the recognition schemes of the EFQM (European Foundation for Quality Management).

The National Awards are among the most prestigious accolades in the Czech Republic

“The National Awards are among the oldest and most prestigious accolades conferred in the Czech Republic. They form an integral part of the National Quality Policy of the Czech Republic, whose purpose is to shape and guide the quality of the environment and of activities across all areas of life in the Czech Republic,” said Eduard Muřický, Chair of the Czech Quality Council and Deputy Director of the Industry and Construction Section, adding “It is undeniable that you will remember the quality of a product or service far longer than its price. That is why any support for quality – in this case in the form of prestigious awards – is a very sound investment in the long term.”

The National Quality Awards are presented annually in more than 80 countries worldwide under the international EFQM recognition schemes, which are based on the EFQM excellence model. An external assessment shows companies whether they are on the right track towards outstanding results, where they stand within the Czech competitive environment, and whether they have the potential to improve and grow.

“Winning the National Quality Award in the START programme is one of the most important accolades for us, above all because it recognises not only how well we are doing in business terms, but also our vision, our social responsibility, our company culture and – something that matters greatly to us – sustainability. We always say that we do the best we can, and this award gives us feedback that we are heading in the right direction,” says Lucie Konečná, Operations Director of nanoSPACE.

Winning the National Quality Award of the Czech Republic in the START programme is proof of nanoSPACE’s commitment to continuous improvement and innovation. The award confirms the company’s leading position in the field of nanotechnology and product quality.

nanoSPACE is a Czech brand focused on bringing together sustainability, nature and modern technology. In 2012 it became the world’s first manufacturer of anti-mite bedding with a nanofibre membrane for allergy sufferers, and this year it has invested several million crowns in its own development.

This year the Czech company nanoSPACE patented a new machine for producing nanofibre

Their subsidiary nanoSPACE Technology patented a new machine this summer for producing the Nano Hybrid Spray nT nanofibre membrane, marking a revolution in the manufacture of nanofibre membranes. It is currently the most advanced technology for producing nanofibre membranes, enabling the manufacture of natural and biodegradable nanofibre membranes, for example for the production of cultivated meat or for applications in cosmetics and medicine.
