29. 1. 2025

The company EP Corporate Group, a.s., which managed the strategic investments of Daniel Křetínský and the EPH management team, has changed its name to EP Group, a.s. after securing the necessary trademark. EP Group holds equity stakes in the following companies:

  • Energeticky a průmyslový holding (EPH)
  • EP Energy Transition (focused on mining and electricity production in Germany, driving the sector’s transformation towards a zero-emission future)
  • EC Investments (with equity interests in Heureka, FAST, and Košík.cz)
  • EP Real Estate (real estate)
  • Czech Media Invest (a media company with assets in the Czech Republic, France, and Romania)
  • EP Global Commerce (owns shares in Metro AG, a leading international wholesale and food retailer)
  • EP HoldCo (controls a 50% stake in SUPRATUC 2000, a joint venture formed with the Eroski retail group, a prominent player in the Spanish retail market)

From the perspective of consolidated revenues, EP Group is the largest company headquartered in the Czech Republic.

Daniel Křetínský serves as the Chairman of the Board and CEO of EP Group. Other executive board members include:

  • Marek Spurný (Legal and Compliance),
  • Jan Špringl (responsible for the Energy segment),
  • Pavel Horský (Chief Financial Officer).

A leadership change has occurred at EPH (Energetický a průmyslový holding), where Daniel Křetínský has been succeeded as CEO by Jan Špringl. Křetínský will remain at EPH as Chairman of the Board, responsible for the group’s strategy. Other board members include: Vice-Chairmen Jan Špringl (CEO), Marek Spurný (Legal and Compliance), and Pavel Horský (Finance).

New regular members of EPH’s Board of Directors are:
