What Litostroj Power does

Litostroj Power is a Slovenian-headquartered, privately held manufacturer of hydroelectric power generation equipment, operating from Ljubljana with 501–1,000 employees and an unbroken turbine manufacturing heritage dating to 1848. The company produces hydro turbines, pumps, valves and gates, automation systems, and other ancillary components, all manufactured in-house under a single-roof production model that supports quality control and component integration.

Litostroj delivers water-to-wire solutions across the full project lifecycle, encompassing new installations, complete hydroelectric power plant (HPP) project execution, refurbishment, modernization and upgrades, custom-engineered solutions, and internal assembly and testing services. The company sells directly to utilities and project developers globally, serving two primary customer segments: developers of new hydro installations and operators of existing facilities seeking life extension and efficiency improvements.

The business operates as a member of Wikov Group, an industrial holding company that unifies multiple hydro power equipment manufacturers under the EP-POWER brand. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of custom-quoted industrial equipment and project-based service contracts. With 1,000+ installed units, 33+ GW of installed generating capacity, 160+ TWh of annual generated output, and active projects in more than 60 countries, Litostroj operates a globally distributed industrial B2B model with long-cycle, capital-intensive contracts and no disclosed financial figures.
