A family firm from the Czech Republic will provide nearly 10,000 hockey pucks to the Winter Olympic Games in South Korea. The company GUFEX, located in Kateřinice in north Moravia, began producing pucks in 1994.

Since then, they have been used at all significant tournaments of the International Ice Hockey Federation, Winter Olympic Games, World Championship and other international tournaments. The company currently produces around 1.2 million pucks a year.
