We offer services all over the Czech Republic as well as internationally, participating in collaborative projects funded by the European Union. Our company holds ISO 9001:2001 and ISO 14001:2005 certifications for all of our activities.
ECO trend has recently spun-off a research division into a separate company: ECO Trend Research Centre. We seek to catalyze new environmentally sustainable development, knowledge and inspiration for the Czech Republic, the European Union and beyond. We collaborate in this area with many research institutions and universities (e.g. the Institute of Chemical Technology, Prague, the Czech Biogas Association, the Research Institute of Agricultural Technology…).
Locating facilities in a non-English speaking country can seem daunting even though potentially quite profitable. There are language as well as cultural and bureaucratic barriers to navigate. ECO trend has a multi-lingual (English, German and Czech) team of experts and researchers prepared to not only find solutions to problems but to make pro-active proposals towards enhancing their clients´ success of their clients. They have the know-how and contacts to work through challenges in the fields of green energy, transportation and environmental systems.
