The shareholders of Vemex are:
Securing Energy for Europe GmbH (Germany) - 67%

Vemex has around 10–12% of the Czech gas market. The major clients are the Prague gas utility Pražská plynárenská, the Spolana chemical producer, and the steel manufacturer Vitkovice.
In 2007, Vemex signed a five-year contract with Gazprom for annual deliveries up to 500 million cubic metres of gas. Together with the Czech natural gas producer MND, a shareholder of Vemex itself, the company plans to build a natural gas storage facility in the eastern part of the Czech Republic. As of 2013 the plat is still active.
In 2010, the company announced its plan to enter the Slovak market through its subsidiary Vemex Energo, s.r.o. In September 2009, the company announced it would like to lease a part of Ukrainian underground storage capacities.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Vemex”, the useful work is to connect “company in the Czech Republic” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7919489. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2007, 2013, 2010 and 2009.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
