What PrīmX does
PrīmX (legal entity SIA Primekss) is a Latvian-headquartered specialty construction technology company that has developed and commercialized a patented Steel Fiber Reinforced Self-Stressing Concrete (SFRSSC) system for jointless industrial floors, foundations, raft foundations, walls, and load-bearing structures. Founded in 1997 in Riga by Jānis Ošlejs (still CEO), the company operates a design-build model in which its in-house structural engineers optimize baseline designs and concrete engineers produce project-specific mix designs from locally available aggregates, validated in a LATAK-accredited R&D laboratory and at local concrete plants. The technology replaces conventional mesh reinforcement with distributed steel fibers and shrinkage-compensating additives, producing slabs claimed to be up to 60% thinner and 50% stronger than traditional concrete with up to 70% CO2 reduction.
The company's commercial offer spans the core PrīmX technology, the low-carbon PrīmX Pure variant with EPD-verified CO2e, PrīmX Composite jointless flooring systems (on ground and on piles), concrete overlays, outdoor pavements (including UltraPack), structural frames and watertight foundations, raft foundations, specialty products (gas protection, LNG tanks), and the PrīmX µ Terrazzo polishing system. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time design-build project delivery contracts for mission-critical facilities, supplemented by PrimekssLabs consultancy services and free technical training that functions as demand generation. Quality is monitored via the proprietary PrimeQuality.eu system, which measures 21 parameters per site and transmits data to Riga HQ in real time.
PrīmX serves enterprise customers in logistics and distribution (Amazon, DHL, DSV, IKEA, Walmart, Prologis, Panattoni, CTP, Logicor), industrial manufacturing (BMW, Volvo, Audi, Continental, Northvolt, Novo Nordisk, Thule), and automation and robotics (AutoStore, Daifuku, SSI Schaefer, ABB). The company holds four ISO certifications, is a WIPO IP award recipient (2016), and operates directly-owned subsidiaries in 10 countries with active project presence in 29 countries across four continents, including a North America office in Shakopee, Minnesota.
