What ZPA-RP does
ZPA-RP, a.s. is a Czech industrial-automation EPC and service provider founded in 2002 in Sokolov and operating as a subsidiary of the SUAS GROUP (formerly Sokolovská uhelná). The company delivers construction, reconstruction and modernization of measurement and regulation (MaR) systems, control and management systems, and high-current / low-voltage technological systems for energy, brown-coal mining, chemical, food and water-utility clients. Its core execution stack combines in-house CAD/EPLAN P8 project documentation, custom switchgear manufacturing with full FAT testing, and certified integration across the major automation OEM platforms (Siemens, GE, Honeywell, Yokogawa, METSO/Valmet, Fisher-Rosemount/Emerson) over Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus and Modbus. Field instrumentation spans Fisher-Rosemount, BD Sensors, H+B, JSP and Endress+Hauser, with FUJIKURA fiber-optic splicing capability for site communications.
The business model is project-based and service-anchored. ZPA-RP runs day-to-day maintenance, major repairs and investment-project execution for long-term customers (Sokolovská uhelná, Synthomer and ČEZ since 2002; Vršanská uhelná since 2020), supplemented by one-off modernization contracts such as the DPD belt-conveyor line B depot 1 upgrade. Revenue is generated through turnkey project delivery, ongoing maintenance and service, custom hardware manufacturing (switchboards, impulse piping, cable supports), and increasingly through renewable-energy EPC. The renewable line launched with the 2.7 MWp Solarpark Lipnice delivered in 2022 (the first FVE within SUAS GROUP) and the 7.44 MWh BESS Marie project executed with technology partner Alfen N.V., alongside photovoltaic, battery-storage and heat-pump solutions for commercial and industrial buildings supported by NZÚ and OPPIK subsidy documentation. The company is ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certified, headquartered in Sokolov with an operations-support site in Vřesová, and employs 51-100 people serving exclusively the Czech Republic market.
