Penta Investments

Penta is a Central Europe investment group founded in 1994 in Slovakia by Czech Marek Dospiva and Slovaks Jaroslav Haščák, Martin Kúšik, Jozef Špirko and Jozef Oravkin.

Today, the Group actively develops companies and projects, primarily in healthcare, financial services, retail, manufacturing and real estate. Having grown from a local to international company, Penta operates in more than 10 markets across Europe, providing more than 30,000 jobs through investee companies. Penta owns assets of EUR 6.5 billion. In 2013 Penta achieved a consolidated net profit of EUR 100 mil.

The name Penta is a tribute to the original five founding partners, all schoolmates during their studies in Moscow and Czechoslovakia.

Penta Investments group and its co-owner Jaroslav Haščák have been associated with the Gorilla scandal, a corruption affair that erupted in Slovakia in 2012. The company has been denying the allegations and interpreted the "Gorilla" file as fabricated.

For several years Penta's chief advisor was Alojz Lorenc, the former Head of the Communist Era Czechoslovak Secret Police (StB).

    Numeral or number prefixes are prefixes derived from numerals or occasionally other numbers. In English and other European languages, they are used to coin numerous series of words, such as unicycle – bicycle – tricycle, dyad – triad – decade, biped – quadruped, September – October – November – December, decimal – hexadecimal, sexagenarian – octogenarian, centipede – millipede, etc. There are two principal systems, taken from Latin and Greek, each with several subsystems; in addition, Sanskrit occupies a marginal position. There is also an international set of metric prefixes, which are used in the metric system, and which for the most part are either distorted from the forms below or not based on actual number words.

    Table of number prefixes in English

    In the following prefixes, a final vowel is normally dropped before a root that begins with a vowel, with the exceptions of bi-, which is bis- before a vowel, and of the other monosyllables, du-, di-, dvi-, tri-, which are invariable.
