The management of industrial companies is currently facing new challenges that may determine their competitive advantage and remain in the business market. One of the new challenges is the implementation of the age management concept. The main aim of the article is to present the results of the extent of age management implementation in industrial enterprises in Slovakia (N = 285 companies). The research identified three research questions, the evaluation of which yielded important findings. The pillar “Satisfied life” is considered from the point of view of industrial management to be the most important of all eight pillars of the age management concept. The most frequently applied pillar of age management in large industrial companies is the fifth pillar (“Ensuring good workability and motivation”). All findings can be used in sustainable human resource management as well as in designing the implementation of the age management concept.
