Change in Management at IMA

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.

The professional industry portal TZB-info has published an article titled “Mobile phones under lock and key: smart lockers as a quiet helper for schools”, focusing on the upcoming changes related to mobile phone use in schools and practical ways to ensure their safe storage during the school day.

Effective October 1, 2026, Ing. Ondřej Marek has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of IMA.

We have successfully delivered and commissioned a system of 250 smart locker locks powered by imaLOCKER at the new building of ZŠ Bílá School in Prague 6.

Instead of using traditional keys, students unlock their lockers with the same identification credential they use to enter the school building. This eliminates issues related to lost keys, replacement locks, and key administration.

Electronic imaLOCKER OSL.03-L locks now support smartphone access via NFC. In addition to RFID cards and tags, users can conveniently unlock lockers using their mobile phones.
