Already in the first quarter of the given year, the limit of stocks reaches half a billion crowns.

Due to the growing production and development of new products in Asian countries, the company opens its branch in Beijing, China as an independent legal entity.

LAUNCH OF THE NEW BRAND PICCOLIO

This year we launched a new brand for the Piccolio advertising textile collection. The products are characterized by an affordable price and, thanks to their simple processing, are ideal for even the craziest prints. The fabric is available in cheerful colors and tailored for comfort, making it the ideal dress code for where it lives.

NEW CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS

A year later, the employees move to a new office building in Ústí nad Labem - Skorotice, built in the spirit of maximum energy self-sufficiency.

2015

FIRST EXPEDITION FROM THE NEW LOGISTICS CENTER

ENTERING NEW MARKETS

For the tenth year of the company's existence, the markets continue to expand to the south, where they are interested in products in Romania and Bulgaria, but also to the northeast.

2008

ENTERING THE SLOVENIAN MARKET

The Czech Republic's Accession Act to the Schengen Agreement at the end of 2007, together with the state's membership in the EU, significantly contributed not only to existing sales, but also to the further process of export development. In 2008, Slovenia expanded its market portfolio.

EXPANSION OF PRODUCTION FROM CHINA TO BANGLADESH

The growth in sales had to logically correspond to the expansion of production, which is expanding from China to Bangladesh and subsequently to other Asian destinations.

2004

ENTERING THE SLOVAKIAN AND POLISH MARKET

Even before the Czech Republic's accession to the EU, ADLER enters the Slovak and Polish markets, which are still the largest foreign destinations.

2003

MOVING TO A NEWLY PURCHASED BUILDING

The following year, the company moved to a renovated building, where larger storage areas were also built. And that they were needed: precisely because of the planned accession of the Czech Republic to the European Union, the owners took advantage of the situation and, with the support of the Czech Trade organization, bought 24 containers of T-shirts.

2002

PURCHASE OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND WAREHOUSE BUILDINGS

The expanding number of employees and products required not only administrative premises, but above all warehouse premises. The shareholders therefore bought a building in Ústí nad Labem - Krásné Březno, which they prepared for both purposes.

2001

DISTRIBUTION NETWORK DEVELOPMENT IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

The beginning of the new century was crucial for the search for new business opportunities and the development of the distribution network in the Czech Republic. The company leased its first warehouse space in the Ústí brewery and imported T-shirts in 16 containers.

2000

THE FIRST T-SHIRT CONTAINER FROM CHINA

The production of promotional textiles was thus given priority over the activities of an advertising agency, and in the very following year after its establishment, the first container of 32,000 T-shirts arrived from China. The first and only supplier for the next years was Lien Wu Ningbo.

1999

COMPANY ESTABLISHMENT

The company was founded at the end of 1999 by two high school classmates, Martin Hausenblas and Pavel Neumann, who are still the sole shareholders.
