Quartz sands from the area of Provodín have been extracted since 1913. Our company continues the tradition of "Prvni severocesky zavod na vyrobu sklarskych pisku a piskovcovych cihel Wilhelm Schulz".
After 1946, the company traded under the name of "Severoceské piskovny" but was changed several times. In 1992, the company was transformed into a joint-stock company named "Provodínské písky, a.s.", and has become a member of the Quarzwerke Group.
