What Merops does
MEROPS spol. s r. o. is a privately held Czech limited liability company founded in 2003 in Český Těšín that manufactures and installs custom PVC windows and doors under its DECCO brand (DECCO 71, DECCO 83), aluminum windows, doors, and HS lift-and-slide portals using ALUPROF and ALIPLAST profile systems (MB-45 through MB-104 Passive), and solar energy systems delivered through a separate solar division established in 2007 covering solar thermal (EFEKTIV and StratoSOL DUO product lines built around SunWing T4 collectors) and photovoltaic installations (using panels from Kyocera, SolarWorld, and others, with SMA/Fronius/Kostal/Kaco inverters). The company complements its core fabrication business with MACO and GU SECURY hardware, STADUR/PVC sandwich door panels, blinds and insect screens, and full turnkey service including on-site measurement, removal of old windows, installation, and post-warranty service backed by a 5-year warranty and free delivery within a 100 km radius.
The firm operates a sales-led, quote-based go-to-market targeting three customer segments: residential family houses (the primary segment for both windows/doors and solar), apartment and prefab-panel buildings (where solar systems supplement central heating hot water supply), and broader construction and renovation projects. Beyond direct field sales out of its Český Těšín headquarters and production facility, the company maintains a solar division office in Havířov–Životice and commercial representation in Prague via a partnership with Triocolor s.r.o., with the sister company Alfest producing higher-end Aliplast aluminum elements. Geographic coverage is exclusively the Czech Republic.
MEROPS holds an unusually strong compliance and certification footprint for an SME of its size, including SOLAR KEYMARK and EN 12975 certifications for thermal collectors, ISO 9001 quality management, PHI Darmstadt passive-house certification for the MB-104 aluminum profile, and RC2/RC3 burglary-resistance ratings on selected doors. In 2022 it secured EU NextGenerationEU co-financing for an on-site photovoltaic installation. The business is founder/owner-operated with no institutional investors, no funding rounds disclosed, and no acquisition activity, positioning MEROPS as a stable, organically grown SME rather than a venture-backed growth platform.
