CARBOUNION SLOVAKIA

CARBOUNION SLOVAKIA is a Slovak company and part of the CARBOUNION Holding group, a Central European energy and industrial group founded in 1998 by Ing. Petr Paukner, who remains its sole owner. The holding describes itself as a group of more than 20 companies operating as a major independent trader in energy commodities — electricity, gas, biomass, emission allowances and coal — and also active in the design and construction of energy networks and substations, including the production of steel structures, as well as in rail freight transport of all types of goods. The group focuses on various energy and industrial markets in the Central European region. Within this structure, CARBOUNION SLOVAKIA represents the group's Slovak presence. The parent holding reports key financial indicators for 2025 including equity of EUR 85 million, revenues of EUR 395 million, EBITDA of EUR 20 million and 455 full-time employees. It has been ranked 18th in the Czech '100 Best' (Českých 100 nejlepších) for 2025 and 100th in the '100 Most Valuable Czech Companies' (100 nejhodnotnějších českých firem) for 2024. The group has also been developing an ESG strategy and reporting framework, which it frames as a means of shaping its future business together with stakeholders rather than merely a legal obligation. In 2025, owner Petr Paukner sold his majority stake in the football club FK Dukla Praha after nearly 12 years of ownership. The group's public profile is closely tied to Paukner, who is frequently described as a coal, gas and electricity trader.
