HANÁK history
1926
Josef Hanák
Josef Hanák begins manufacturing custom furniture. From the beginning, he does not back away from the quality of workmanship and thus becomes known to the great personalities of his time. He produces furniture, for example, for Tomas Bata's villa in Zlín, thus creating the foundations for the future tradition of the family business.
1990
Renewal of the HANÁK tradition – foundation of the SH Kroměříž company
The son of Josef Hanák, Ing. Stanislav Hanák, his wife Maria and their children launched the company SH Kroměříž. In the beginning, their 500 m2 workshop was primarily used for the production of hall stands, tables and chests of drawers made of solid pine.

We developed and manufactured our first kitchen model, FLORIDA, and bathroom collection, LUNA, with high-gloss varnish surface finishes.

SH Kroměříž moves to Popůvky
One of the greatest milestones in the history of our company is its relocation to the village of Popůvky near Kojetín, occupying premises with an area of 10,000 m2, with the possibility of continuing to expand production thanks to the excellent location.
