COLAS CZ, a.s. entered the Czech road engineering market in 1994. It was established by the merger of three traditional companies - Silnice Jihlava, Silnice Znojmo and Silniční stavitelství Praha.
Our company gradually grew within the Czech Republic and integrated other construction companies. In 2008, we acquired ASTECH, a facility specialising in modified asphalts, and we have also held a majority stake in Silnice Horšovský Týn, s.r.o. company since 2014. In 2020, we have acquired originally family-owned company Silnice Žáček s.r.o., another strong regional player.

Our Projects
Our Products
Origin
Establishment of COLAS was motivated by a desire to face a new challenge: how to exploit a patent for a revolutionary innovative technology in the form of the so-called "Cold Asphalt emulsion".
We still rely on this innovative approach when designing and implementing transport infrastructure and mobility solutions that respond to the challenges of the contemporary world.
Goals
Interconnect various communities and promote exchange between them in the present and future world.
As a modern construction company, we strive to do business both in an environmentally-friendly and people-friendly way as well. Social responsibility is not only a duty, but rather a commitment. We want to take into account the expectations and contradictions of contemporary society, including social cohesion, climate change, biodiversity loss, resource conservation, transport and housing needs, improving living conditions, energy transformation, resource management and growing ethical expectations.
Ambitions
We want to be the world leader in innovative solutions for sustainable mobility. In addition to using the latest technology, this includes emphasising environmentally-friendly solutions, energy savings and a continued commitment to reduce our carbon footprint. We are fully committed to the COLAS Group’s initiative to reduce direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions by 30 % in line with the Paris Agreement.
Values
RESPECT
Respect, treat others how you would like to be treated. Respect is the absolute foundation of everything. Without it, there is no trust, no team, no future. At Bouygues, we care about and consider everyone - our clients, teams, colleagues and stakeholders. We champion transparency and honesty, and we stick to our word. It is the key to a collective that moves forward together, with high standards and consideration.
COMMITMENT
Commitment is about giving your heart and soul. When we commit, it is a collective pact and an investment in everyone´s success. At Bouygues, you don´t succeed alone. We invest in our customers, or teams, and our colleagues, and with our ethical approach and total transparency, we know we can count on our people and partners. This collective energy allows us to go further, to overcome any challenge, and deliver our exceptionally high standards. We commit 100% and we commit together.
PIONEERING
Intelligent inovation... yes. Blind ambition...no. At Bouygues, we push boundaries, imagine what does not yet exist, and dare what others do not. It is about analysing, preparing, calculating risks and pre-empting challenges before taking on the adventure. We innovate with ambition, and we find solutions. Great pioneers are not those who just take a leap of faith and hope for the best, they form their vision and ambition based on intelligence, expertise and boldness.
SHARING
Knowledge is meant to be passed on. At Bouygues, we don´t believe in well-kept secrets. Each of us holds knowledge that could and should be shared. We se sharing and guidance as fundamental in helping us all grow. This also ensures that we do not rely solely on a few experts but on a strong collective. We pass on our knowledge so that we can achieve the best of ourselves and others.
