In 1912, the firm became a joint-stock company, exporting its products to Poland, Hungary, Rumania, and Italy.
In 1950, the factory acquired the status of national enterprise, witnessing an expansion in production mainly in the seventies, accompanied by launching the new articles, such as the pre-printed forms for computers and self-sticking label.
In 1978, a reconstruction was carried out, giving rise to a leader among the printing works in Czechoslovakia.
After 1989, the enterprise was expropriated from the state, succeeded by the newly established joint-stock company which completed its privatization in 1995.
