VISION
Imagine the Future of Plumbing: Embracing Change and Technology.
We’re amidst an extraordinary technological era, witnessing rapid advancements in every aspect of our lives. Our younger generation, like my daughters, aged between 16 and 18, are remarkably tech-savvy. They think differently, seeking efficiency and even a bit of fun in everything they do. They’re foreseeing a future flooded with more technology, where robotics will revolutionize our daily tasks.
Considering this, do you believe future plumbers will stick to age-old methods of the past 50 or 60 years? I highly doubt it. Many traditional techniques need an overhaul! The HAP System is the answer, a starting point to transform various aspects of building. It embodies speed, quality, and brings a sense of joy, much like a Lego system for piping security. Picture it as a modern approach, with easy installation requiring minimal tools—a step towards simplicity for our generation.
The upcoming Poseidon Distribution Panel, following the HAP System, aims to empower our new generation further. We want to ignite their interest, demonstrating that plumbing installations can be not only easy and enjoyable but also exhibit a new level of professionalism.

HAP TEAM
CEO, Research, Product & Business Development, Engineering, Patents.
Tom’s mind is always buzzing with ideas, particularly when it comes to inventions.
His journey began as a technician in the Calculation & Regulation Pollution Control Department at a technology company in the Czech Republic, where the focus was on installing ultrasonic level controllers for fluids. It was during this time that Tom realized the power of on-the-job ideas in driving innovation and enhancing product quality.
Upon establishing his own plumbing company in the United States, Tom was determined to find a better way to tackle plumbing installations. The existing methods were plagued by the complexity of numerous components and tools, resulting in time-consuming installations fraught with issues, not to mention the risk of injuries to his plumbers due to sharp materials.
In response to these challenges, Tom conceived the idea for the HAP System. His innovation aimed to revolutionize plumbing and construction projects by introducing a product designed to securely hold and protect conduit piping, streamlining the entire process.
Today, HAP System offers an array of pipe hanger products, making it a comprehensive solution for contractors, builders, and DIY enthusiasts alike. Tom firmly believes that HAP will significantly enhance contractors’ capacity to complete their projects swiftly and successfully.
Throughout his life, Tom has learned the importance of empathizing with others and understanding their perspectives. This empathy has fueled his drive to continually seek better, easier, and faster ways of doing things. He encourages people to embrace innovation and not be afraid to explore new approaches.
