For more than 12 years, we have been developing a unique microwave technology that is changing the way asphalt surfaces are maintained
Streamline road maintenance with our unique microwave technology
We are a team of more than 20 Czech experts who, together with researchers from the Czech Technical University and the Academy of Sciences, are working on a unique device for heating asphalt surfaces and packaged mixtures for road pothole repairs.
Our development team consists of experts in microwaves, electrothermal technology, electrical engineering, electronics, imaging, software, mechanics, asphalt materials. The microwave repair procedures and the repair equipment that we develop and use are protected by patents and utility models.
Jiří Rušikvas
CEO and Board Chairman
Jiri founded FUTTEC in 2011 to enable the innovative research of Czech experts in the field of microwave technology. He graduated from the Faculty of Law at Masaryk University in Brno. After many years of working in the state administration, he headed a company dealing with information technology protection. A tireless sportsman and father of a big family.
Dan Ťok
Board Vice-Chairman
Dan is a prominent Czech manager, former Minister of Transport for many years. After graduating from the Brno University of Technology, he started working as a designer at the First Brno Engineering Works, where he eventually became the director. For many years he managed the Czech activities of large multinational companies (ABB, ALSTOM, Jihomoravská plynárenská – RWE, KKCG and Skanska). As a long-standing member of the Board, he was chairing the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) for a year.
Dobroslav Rak
Senior R&D Advisor
Dobroslav is an experienced engineering executive with international experience in product design, program and project management. After graduating from Czech Technical University, he worked in design and management positions in a number of leading Czech companies involved in aerospace and transport technology, where he introduced modern product development processes and new methods of value innovation.
Ondřej Rušikvas
Chief Commercial Officer
As a sociology graduate at Charles University, Ondrej joined an insurance company, where within 20 years he became a Board member responsible for commerce. He then led the sales and marketing activities of one of the largest Czech tour operators. A few years ago, he decided to use his rich experience for the commercial development of his brother’s business. An indomitable cyclist and occasional stickler.

We are transforming the way asphalt surfaces are maintained
At FUTTEC, we have been developing unique microwave technology since 2011. We are thus continuing the work of the almost forgotten Czech professor Augustin Žáček, who invented the cavity magnetron at the beginning of the 20th century.
Our work has resulted in a number of microwave technical solutions that are now recommended by the Czech Ministry of Transport under TP-264/2023. We are one of the first to be granted a European patent by the European Patent Office, valid uniformly in 17 EU countries, and we also pursue patent proceedings in non-European countries.
We are convinced that road repairs can be done quickly, efficiently, cheaply and sustainably. In fact, timely and preventive microwave repairs prevent inconvenient traffic closures and save maintenance costs.
2011
We started the development of microwave technology
2013
We obtained a patent for a method of heating asphalt mixtures using microwave radiation
2017
We received a subsidy of EUR 1.8 million from the European Commission's HORIZON 2020 programme
2020
Using the prototype of the FT-3 patcher, we carried out the first repairs for the Road and Motorway Directorate, Prague and other Czech cities
2022
We started small-batch production of the FT-3 microwave road patcher and the FF-9 furnace
2023
We launched the improved FT-3 and FF-9 devices on the market
Microwave technology became a certified road maintenance method
