History and present of the guilt

After the change of the social-economic system in 1989 freedom of undertaking was again allowed. In 1990 first goldsmith companies were established.

 

After first years of building workshops, shops, studios the goldsmiths-entrepreneurs had to be supported in their activity. Based on the initiative of the mayor of the Trade community Bratislava, professor Anton Raška, based on Law No. 83/1900 S. Guilt statutes and Proposal for registration of the civil association entitled Guild of goldsmiths and jewelers of Bratislava and its surroundings were prepared. The proposal was submitted to the Ministry of Interior of the SR by the preparatory committee, composed of: Ing. Jozef Koleň, Attila Nemeš, Anton Wendl and Igor Slezák. After approval and registration on 5. May 1995, the first class organization of its kind in the SR was established. The preparatory committee called the establishing assembly on 1. June 1995, attended by 30 representatives of 25 companies. The assembly elected the organizational committee, which called the first constituent assembly on 28. October 1995. It was attended by 23 registered members. Ing. Jozef Koleň was elected the head of the guilt.

 

During the years physical persons and legal entities all throughout the SR were interested in membership. The fact was the impulse to submit a proposal to the guilt assembly to change the original name to: Guilt of goldsmiths and jewelers of Slovakia. The proposal was unanimously adopted and approved on the guilt assembly on 21. March 2004.

 

Guilt is a class organization uniting based on volunteering citizens of the Slovak republic dealing especially with the manufacturing of jewelry and processing of precious metals. The main mission of the guilt is building class pride, which should develop based on the quality of the products, professional approach, correct action and upholding the codex of good behavior.
