It started with a toolbox...

    What does both the professional and the DIYer need? A toolbox full of quality tools of course. Dávid Hrončok, the manager of the online store Pro-Tech shop, realized this years ago . And it was the toolbox with tools that gave him the idea of his own e-shop.

    Our history begins with 2013, which was challenging and unique for the e-shop at the same time. Year after year, step by step, we built the e-shop into its present form. We listened to our customers - we listened to you and responded to your inquiry. Our intention was to offer everything in one place that would facilitate work around the house, in the garden, and in the household. We gradually added construction and garden equipment, small and large appliances, electronics, kitchen utensils, household equipment, drugstore and toys to our offer.

    The year 2022 became a turning point, when we opened a new dispensary for you in Zvolen. Thus, we replaced the brick-and-mortar store with a warehouse with a dispensary room for personal collection. We decided to implement this sales concept for several reasons. The first was the effort to provide the best customer service, the second is a large amount of goods, often oversized. The assortment has grown to 22 000 items, and we are currently continuously expanding our offer.
