Following a decision by WITTE Automotive GmbH, the sole owner of IMA s.r.o., Karel Kalivoda has stepped down from his position as CEO of IMA by mutual agreement.
We would like to thank Karel Kalivoda for his many years of professionalism, dedication and contribution to IMA and its employees throughout nearly 17 years with the company.
The leadership of the company’s individual departments remains unchanged, ensuring continuity in both operations and management.
Tomáš Jindra and Jiří Bárta continue to serve as Managing Directors. Ondřej Marek, Chief Financial Officer (CFO), serves as the authorized signatory. The Sales Department is led by Michal Klega (CSO), and R&D activities continue under the leadership of Michal Kašpárek (CTO).
We look forward to our ongoing cooperation with our existing business partners, as well as to all new opportunities.
IMA was proud to be a Golden Sponsor of the ECCA Conference 2026, held in Prague from 25–27 May 2026 and hosted by the European Campus Card Association together with Czech Technical University.
For IMA, the event was a valuable opportunity to meet partners, universities and industry professionals, and to discuss how access control, digital identity and secure storage solutions can support the changing needs of modern educational institutions.
Here are some of the most crucial insights shared by our CTO, Michal Kašpárek.
As part of the WITTE Automotive Group, IMA continues to grow across borders and bring its expertise closer to customers in key European markets.
With dedicated local support for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, IMA is now even better positioned to help customers in the DACH region with smart identity, access control solutions and smart locker solutions.
