Mladá Boleslav, April 8th, 2011 – A festive day for all fans and people interested in the ŠKODA brand: Next Saturday, April 16th, the automobile manufacturer will open its gates in Mladá Boleslav. Guests can take a detailed peek behind the scenes of the automobile production and look around the production halls. The occasion for the Open House Day is the 20th anniversary of the association with the Volkswagen Group. The organizers expect around 50,000 visitors from the town and the region.

On April 16th, 1991, exactly 20 years ago to the day, ŠKODA and the Volkswagen Group agreed upon a far-reaching cooperation. The new joint venture ŠKODA automobilinova a.s. began its operations and ŠKODA became the fourth brand in the Volkswagen Group. "That day was the beginning of a unique success story for our brand," emphasizes Bohdan Wojnar, ŠKODA's board member for human resources. "The entry of Volkswagen started nothing less than the rebirth of a brand steeped in tradition from the heart of Europe. Since 1991, we have more than quadrupled our sales. A nationally oriented oneproduct company has turned into an internationally successful supplier with a presence in more than 100 markets and an extensive product range, which is still being expanded. Enough reasons then to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the association of ŠKODA with Volkswagen and to give a warm thanks to our employees, but also to the people of the town and the region. We want to spend a wonderful day together and have a lot of fun."

The manufacturing area should be of the greatest interest for visitors. Therefore, almost all sections of automobile manufacture in Mladá Boleslav can be visited in the production halls: Whether it is the production of assemblies, tool-making, the steel works, the pressing plant, car body construction and CKD-Center: On Saturday, the catch phrase will be: Come on in! Also presented will be other organizations closely associated with ŠKODA, such as Ško-Energo or the employer-based health insurance Zaměstnanecká pojišťovna Škoda.
