Ing. Milouš Pour

Ing. Milouš Pour is the name associated with Slévárna ANAH Prostějov, s.r.o., a traditional Czech foundry based in Prostějov that produces grey cast iron and, additionally, nodular (ductile) cast iron castings. The company describes itself as a family firm with pure Czech capital, and its current legal form and name were established in 1994. Its roots reach back to 1878, when the company Wichterle & Prochaska, an agricultural machinery producer, was founded; cast production began in 1882 with the construction of a new factory including a foundry. Over the following decades the works passed through several corporate identities, including F. Wichterle and Wichterle & Kovářík, before taking its present shape. The foundry's annual production capacity is reported at approximately 9,000 to 12,000 tonnes of grey cast iron. Its production portfolio includes castings for the engineering, automotive, construction and consumer industries, as well as pipe fittings and valves. The company focuses on lot production but can also handle small-lot or single-part production. Its pattern shop manufactures metal, wooden or resin patterns according to customer needs. More than 60% of production is delivered to EU countries, especially Italy and Germany, with considerable exports also to Slovenia, France, Luxembourg and England. The wider group includes POUR ENERGO s.r.o., which trades in electricity and gas, and AUTO - BAYER, s.r.o., an authorized dealer and service provider for Volkswagen, Audi and Škoda cars. In recent years the company has emphasized sustainability and environmental responsibility, obtaining a Synesgy business sustainability certificate in November 2024 and renewing it in 2025, and investing in new filtration equipment for air protection. The name Ing. Milouš Pour appears in connection with this Czech company, reflecting the family ownership and management tradition of the business.

The history of the foundry now known as Slévárna ANAH Prostějov, s.r.o. begins in 1878 with the establishment of the company Wichterle & Prochaska, an agricultural machinery producer. In 1880 an independent company, F. Wichterle, was created, and in 1882 a new factory for F. Wichterle was built, including a foundry, marking the start of cast production. In 1890 a new foundry with two cupolas was constructed. In 1918 the company Wichterle & Kovářík was established, continuing the industrial tradition in Prostějov. The current form of the company was acquired in 1994, when it took its present name and reputation as an established family company with pure Czech capital. Since then it has operated as a traditional producer of grey cast iron and, additionally, nodular cast iron. Its annual production capacity has been reported at approximately 9,000 to 12,000 tonnes of grey cast iron. The production portfolio includes castings for the engineering, automotive and consumer industries, as well as pipe fittings and valves, with a focus on lot production but also capable of small-lot or single-part production. The foundry's pattern shop provides manufacturing of metal, wooden or resin patterns according to customer needs.
