We are a leading European manufacturer of borosilicate glass with over 185 years of experience. We offer a very wide range of domestic, industrial, laboratory and technical glassware, tubes and industrial apparatus. We distribute our products under our own brands SIMAX® and KAVALIER®, but we also offer customised solutions under the customer’s brand. The diversity and technical complexity of our product range makes us constantly follow and anticipate global trends, coming up with new technological processes and solutions. Of course, we guarantee an excellent quality level. We have implemented a Quality Management System according to ISO 9001. Most of our production is exported to more than 90 countries. We are currently team members of several
international research projects under the auspices of the European Union.

We are a progressive and economically stable company. With a melting capacity of over 220 tons of glass per day, we are the largest producer of borosilicate glass in the world. Our customers have long appreciated our creativity, quality technical facilities, flexibility and perfect service. Thanks to the professionalism of our employees, we are able to meet the diverse and increasingly demanding requirements of our

Our teams at kavalierglass

Meet our teams, which are key to the running of our company.

Mechanical production team

Mechanical production is a key part of our production process. We employ passionate (figuratively speaking😊) and skilled people with a passion for mechanics, who keep the entire process running with their precise work. It doesn't matter if you already have experience or are just starting out - the desire to learn new things is important. As our masters say: "If a person wants to learn something new, we will teach them."

Electrical maintenance team

In every company, and ours is no exception, one of the most important departments is electrical maintenance. Thanks to its work, production processes run without interruption – whether it is the precise connection of machines or the provision of safe lighting in the company's premises. Work in the electrical field is a real driving force of industrial production and in our company it forms an integral part of it. We will not allow this area to be neglected. Whether you have many years of experience or have just finished school, we will be happy to welcome you to our team.

Raw material preparation team

The alpha and omega of our unique products is our glass. Its unique composition is created under the leadership of the raw materials preparation department. Working with glass sand and our shards is a real alchemy. Knowledge of basic electrical principles and a willingness to accept more physically demanding tasks are important for working in this department. If you are looking for work that has meaning – and the results of which are literally visible on every product – we would be happy to welcome you to our team. Because the best products are created from the sweat of the brow and dust of the glass tribe.

Logistics team

Logistics ensures that raw materials, semi-finished products and packaging materials always arrive on time, to the right place and without unnecessary downtime. Our expedition then carefully and safely loads the finished products, which travel to customers all over the world. Diligence, reliability and orientation in operation – these are the key qualities we are looking for in our team. We are looking for colleagues who are not afraid of movement, have a sense of order and a desire to be an important part of the team, without which production could not function. Become one of the key people in our company – help us keep production running!

Handmade team

Hand-made glassmaking is the heart of our company – a place where it really comes to life. Every day, under the hands of our skilled colleagues, original products are created that bear the seal of honest craftsmanship. Hand-made glass is not only beautiful to look at – it also has real value. It helps protect lives, keeps refreshing drinks cool even in the hottest summer, and thanks to it, you will never burn your fingers while drinking your favorite coffee. Do you want to be part of a team where every gesture has meaning and the result is visible at first glance? Join us.

A team of traders

Our glass products are unique – and irreplaceable in many industries. However, to reach their customers around the world, they need a strong partner. That is our team of sales representatives. Each customer order triggers the entire production process – and it is the sales representatives who ensure that everything runs smoothly, without unnecessary delays and always with the client’s needs in mind. Our wide range is handled by specialized sales offices that provide professional and friendly service to even the most demanding customers. Business for us is not just about numbers – it is about people, trust and cooperation across the world.

Financial accounting team

Production, raw material processing and trade are the engine of our company – but none of this would be possible without the precise financial accounting background. It is thanks to our team of accountants that we are among the best-rated companies in the Czech Republic. Our financial accountants carefully monitor the accuracy of documents, monitor deadlines, fulfill legal obligations and carry out important internal controls. Their precision, attention to detail and calmness even during the monthly closing period form a solid foundation for the entire company. Do you have a flair for numbers, responsibility and are you looking for a job where you will really be relied on? Join us.

Graduates

Are you a graduate? Join the Knams – we have a place for people with both brains and hands. Whether you have just graduated from a technical, economic or other field, something more than just work awaits you at our glassworks – a proud craft, a real team and the opportunity to show what you are made of await you. We offer real practice, support and room to grow – even during your studies. Thanks to our study support programme, you will gain valuable experience that will be useful to you throughout your life. You can expect the background of a stable Czech company, honest training from experienced colleagues, the opportunity to learn new things and participate in work that has a visible result. Join us and discover the world of glass – a material that has shape, soul and future.
