Kolibrik has reached another significant milestone! As of January 2025, Kolibrik has officially transformed into a joint-stock company. This marks an exciting chapter in a journey that began years ago, driven by innovation, resilience, and determination. It is a story of our founder, Jiří Libra, whose passion and vision built the foundation of what Kolibrik is today. Let us briefly share this inspiring journey:
As a young boy, Jiří was captivated by the stars. Armed with basic telescopes, he and his friends would brave the winter cold on the balcony of their apartment block, marveling at the mysteries of the night sky. This curiosity blossomed into a lifelong passion for science and nature. Under his father’s guidance, Jiří began exploring electronics and programming at an early age. In adulthood, Jiří pursued his passion at Charles University's Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, where he developed software and hardware for scientific experimentation.
In 2009, this passion evolved into entrepreneurship, leading to the creation of Kolibrik. The company quickly specialized in hydrogen technologies and began attracting a dedicated team—not just employees, but friends who shared Jiří's love for nature, sustainability, and cutting-edge technology.
Kolibrik focused on developing measurement devices for hydrogen fuel cells, for example Cell Voltage Monitoring for rapid development, soon realizing a gap in the market for high-performance technology. In 2015, Kolibrik launched its first Potentiostat, opening doors to international markets and research collaborations. Despite challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, Kolibrik continued to innovate, unveiling the groundbreaking MegaEIS System in 2020. This multi-channel solution offers immense possibilities in the measurement of electrolyzers, fuel cells, and batteries by enabling simultaneous analysis of hundreds of channels at high currents.
Our journey also led to a strategic partnership with Gamry Instruments, a trusted name in the field. This collaboration expanded our reach to researchers and developers worldwide, further solidifying our commitment to advancing green energy solutions.
In January 2025 Kolibrik transformed into a joint-stock company. This is not only another milestone in our journey of growth but also a symbolic affirmation of our ambition to continually innovate and improve the company's solutions and products.
At the heart of Kolibrik's story is a young boy who once gazed at the stars, dreaming big. His values—innovation, teamwork, resilience, and respect for nature—remain the core of our company today. As we step into the future, we are more determined than ever to create technologies that make our planet better. We strive to innovate relentlessly, foster sustainability, and contribute to a world where future generations can thrive.
After all, we only have one Earth—let’s cherish and protect it together.
