What APS does

APS is an Italian engineering services firm founded in 1997 in Rome, providing integrated engineering solutions across the full project lifecycle — from feasibility studies and FEED through detailed engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPC/EPCM) — for clients in oil & gas, petrochemicals, and sustainable energy. The company operates through four core service lines (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Project Management) and three primary business areas: Green Process (eco-fuels, bio-polymers, biorefineries, biomethane, plastic recycling), Petrochemical (Synthetic Rubber / SBR plants), and Oil & Gas (refining, gas compression, treatment, storage). Its delivery model is project-based, B2B, and enterprise-oriented, with revenue generated primarily through lump-sum turnkey EPC contracts, FEED studies, PMC engagements, and EPCM services negotiated bilaterally with major industrial clients.

APS traces its technical lineage to CTIP, Italy's first engineering and contracting company (founded 1934), and has built a multidisciplinary team across chemical, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumental, and civil engineering disciplines. Notable commercial milestones include the world's first bio-refinery conversion from a traditional refinery with Eni (launched 2014, APS participating since 2012), a $624 million SACE-guaranteed EP contract for Tüpraş Refinery in Turkey (2011), and entry into Synthetic Rubber plant design in 2013. In 2022 the company reorganized under APS Evolution Group, coordinating APS Designing Energy (Italy) and KTI Poland, and in 2024 was 100% acquired by KT – Kinetics Technology, a subsidiary of MAIRE S.p.A. (listed on the Milan Stock Exchange, ~10,800 employees, operations in ~50 countries). APS operates from Rome with a Polish engineering footprint and reports 251–500 employees; no standalone revenue figure is disclosed in the available data.
