The joint stock
company made a loss mainly as a result of a change in product mix
which caused a decline in the average price of one tonne of
production of 3000 CZK in comparison with 1998. Production
increased from 3759 tonnes per year in 1998 to 4357 tonnes in
1999, which represents an increase of almost 16%.
For several years
the joint stock company Elektroporcelán Louny has
maintained its record in the field of environmental protection and
planning. While at the same time expanding the
production of electrotechnical
ceramics at both its plants, the company gives constant
consideration to the environmental problems of both regions and
strives to acquire the most up-to-date knowledge about waste
management and atmospheric protection. Proof of our constant care
for the environment is the fact that in 1999 we devoted.
690 thousand CZK
in investments and 1 480 thousand CZK in operating costs to
environmental improvement. The investments were spent mainly on
filtering the air extracted from the production areas and
recultivating the waste site at the Merklín plant. At the
Louny plant the fuel depot was modified by the purchase of outdoor
roofed stores with retaining tanks for barrels of oil and liquid
fuel, which had previously been stored loosely. Other operating
costs included expenditure on measuring medium sources of
atmospheric pollution and, above all, the thorough collection and
separation of hazardous and municipal waste.
