Miklos Lakatos and his wife Andrea of Kecskemet, Hungary, have always been courageous in their business endeavors. Starting a power equipment business 16 years ago in communist-dominated Hungary was just one example of their courage.
Their courage in starting Mikroprofit Ltd. has paid off. Now Hungary is independent of communist rule, and the Lakatos family independently runs their power equipment business, employs nine people, and handles seven lines of consumer products and fun carts. They now distribute the Walker mower for Hungary and are prepared to be pioneers one more time. "We know that we can sell Walkers here," explains Miklos. "But we know it takes time for people to understand about productivity."
Being a family-run business is one thing Miklos and Andrea say keeps them strong. "Our business gives us a chance to work hard together," explains Andrea. "It also allows us to have a lot of fun together." Working together with two of their three children, Attila (their second son) and Zsuzsanna (their daughter), each family member takes on different jobs in the business to make it work.
Mikroprofit Ltd. has recently finished a new showroom in Kecskemet complete with larger repair facilities and a larger showroom.
