About Us

We produce our machines in our factory which is based 30 minutes from Prague in the Czech Republic. All our machinery parts are sourced locally ensuring only the best high quality reliable components are used in manufacture. This also means our aftermarket parts service is a fast and reliable experience when required. Our factory is based in a historic 350 year old stone and brick UNESCO protected building, which was originally used as stables for farm animals. This we have painstakingly restored and modernized not only to fulfil our manufacturing needs, but also to retain the character and historical style of the original building thus preserving its historical significance for the local area.

Bob BEST

Managing Director & Founder of BMD Bohemia

Established in 1994 in Holland, the company, under the leadership of founder and current owner Bob Best, later relocated to the Czech Republic in 2002. Bob remains actively involved, personally overseeing machinery design and manufacture to ensure a commitment to high-quality standards and cutting-edge design integrations. Bob's journey in the industry led him to  quickly establish his company whilst living in Holland where he was born. Drawing upon his extensive experience with automated machinery, he aimed to improve upon existing designs and ideas, introducing innovations that greatly enhanced productivity and capabilities. The relocation in 2002 marked a strategic move for the company. Bob's commitment to European production continued to be a driving force, allowing for short lead times with suppliers, providing complete control over production, and facilitating quick responses to customer needs. Under Bob's direction, the company's machines exemplify the seamless integration of multiple disciplines, including mechanical design, control systems, and emerging technologies, reaching the highest level of execution. Each step involves a meticulous analysis, ensuring that every part serves a necessary, functional, and efficient purpose in its designated task. The company's philosophy, shaped by Bob's leadership, prioritizes the integration of server functions into single parts. This approach, as opposed to adding more parts and gadgets, is seen as a superior solution, contributing to long-term reliability, simplicity and enhanced performance.

A Hobby becomes a reality...

After developing a taste for and interest in the brewing process of  Czech craft lager, Bob decided he would brew his own. A new hobby then quickly turned into a reality and a good sideline business which can also be enjoyed by our visiting customers, who coming to meet us and see the factory.

Why did we start brewing beer?

We were enchanted by our new spaces in the Czech Republic and as lovers of not only cycling, but also beer (don't drink and ride), we thought that a brewery would also stand out beautifully in such spaces, and decided to try brewing our own beer.

Take a look at the brewery website.
