The Elektro-Haramia company has been nominated for the FéliX Business Award in the category of Exceptional Family Business.
Before constructing a block of flats, a logistics park or a shopping centre, electricity must be brought to the plot.
This is the point when small houses made of concrete, or kiosk transformer stations, appear at the construction site. For nearly three decades, these have been the speciality of the family company Elektro-Haramia from Lozorno in the Záhorie region, not far from Bratislava.
“During these years, we have become something like a Mercedes in the segment,” said Ján Haramia Jr, the company’s CEO. “We don’t have any sales department; the business works on references, but we aren’t short of new orders.”
The core of its business lies in its founders’ family, who managed to turn it into the biggest players on the market thanks to their own skills. Meanwhile, the company employs about a dozen family members.
