ŠKODA JS has been operating in the nuclear power industry since 1956. Our business is based on three basic pillars – engineering, production and service. Over the sixty plus years of our history, we have worked on a large number of projects in all three areas. We continually develop our skills and search for new opportunities. Currently, the largest project in which we are involved is “Completion of Units 3 and 4 at the Mochovce Nuclear Power Plant” in Slovakia.
