Petr Volejník is the company owner, general and production manager, designer and test pilot.[3]

The company was formed in 1992 as a manufacturer of aircraft parts under sub-contract. The first aircraft built was the composite fuselage wood and fabric-wing Zephyr in 1996. The design was developed into the smaller, single-seat ATEC 212 Solo made entirely from carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer. The ATEC 321 Faeta was introduced in 2003 and improves on the Zephyr in that it is also made from carbon fibre.[1][2][3]

The Faeta has been accepted by the US Federal Aviation Administration as a light-sport aircraft.[1][4]
