What Elgór + Hansen S.A does

Elgór + Hansen S.A. is a Polish electrical engineering and industrial automation company headquartered in Chorzów, founded in 1994 as a joint venture between Polish and German partners and now operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grenevia S.A. The company designs, manufactures, and services power distribution equipment (medium and low voltage switchgear, transformer stations, vacuum contactors, frequency converters), ATEX-certified explosion-proof devices for hazardous mining environments, and proprietary software platforms (EH-SmartMine, EH-SmartView, EH-HeadControl3D) that combine SCADA, HMI, and MES functionality for remote process monitoring and control. It also offers contract electronics manufacturing services (EMS) compliant with IPC-A-610 class 2 and 3 standards.

The company's customer base is concentrated in the Polish mining sector, including JSW, Bogdanka, KGHM, PGG, and Węglokoks, with adjacent engagements in energy (PGE, Tauron), industrial OEMs (FAMUR, Komatsu), and selective general-industry projects such as food processing (Kampol Fruit) and metalworking (Kuźnia Jawor). Projects are delivered turnkey from design through production, commissioning, and 24/7 service. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed; engagements are multi-year enterprise contracts.

Elgór + Hansen is pursuing a deliberate diversification from its historical coal-mining core into the renewable energy sector via its EH FUTURA containerized transformer station line for PV and wind farms, complemented by international project execution (e.g., MDPA potash mine in France) and ongoing R&D investment, including a 2025 co-financing agreement with Poland's National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR). The Grenevia Group parent provides cross-selling reach into the broader Polish mining-equipment ecosystem.
