Amati-Denak is a Czech manufacturer of wind and percussion instruments, owned by Geneva Instruments. Before World War II, the town of Kraslice was mostly German-speaking, like the rest of Sudetenland. It was also known in German as Graslitz. Kraslice housed 59 musical instrument manufacturers before WWII, among them Hüller & Co, Bohland & Fuchs, A.K. Hüttl, and Julius Keilwerth. During the war, much of the manufacturing capacity was converted to war-time use, and others had to halt production. After the war, the newly restored government of President Beneš aimed to make the Czechoslovak state entirely Slavic, and initiated a large scale expulsion of ethnic Germans. Most of the German-speaking population of Graslitz was expelled to Germany. Some of the expelled instrument makers would continue their business in other places, like the Musikwinkel of Germany.
