Specialty chemicals and mining solutions producer modernizing legacy systems
Draslovka operates across three industrial segments—specialty chemicals, mining solutions, and agricultural chemicals—with deep expertise in cyanide-based products and fumigation. The tech stack reveals a transitional organization: legacy enterprise systems (SAP R/3, Pascal, C) mixed with modern web layers (Python, TypeScript, PostgreSQL), and active engineering hiring targeting modernization projects. Pain points cluster around legacy code, supply chain efficiency, and scaling lab processes to production—typical friction points for century-old manufacturers automating operations.
Czech-based chemical manufacturer founded in 1906, now operating as a mid-sized specialty chemicals producer with 501–1,000 employees. The company has three main business divisions: Specialty Chemicals (cyanide-family products, fumigants, biocides), Mining Solutions (gold leaching, metallurgical flowsheets), and Agricultural Solutions (quarantine chemicals, crop protection). Operations span multiple continents, with active hiring across the United States, Mexico, Australia, South Africa, and Czechia. Current focus includes deploying new digital platforms, optimizing supply chains, and scaling production technologies from lab to commercial scale.
Primary stack: Python, C, TypeScript, JavaScript, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Linux, and SAP (R/3 and S/4HANA). Also uses Pascal and Bash for legacy systems and embedded Linux for on-site operations.
Active projects: modernizing legacy code, deploying the Metoptima solution, supply chain optimization, scaling gold leaching technologies, designing metallurgical flowsheets, and implementing digital tools for workflow automation.
