What Geokart-International does

Geokart-International Sp. z o.o. is a Polish surveying, cartography, and infrastructure services company headquartered in Rzeszów, founded in 1989 by Łucjan Pietluch. The firm operates seven service divisions: Geodesy (including EGiB, BDOT500, GESUT database modernization and cadastral surveys), Cartography (topographic maps, Vmap Level 2 NATO-standard products, BDOT databases, city and road maps), Photogrammetry and UAV (using senseFly eBee X and Aeromapper Talon drones with RTK/PPK GPS), Infrastructure Design (sanitary and storm sewers, water supply, roads, bridges, wastewater treatment), Investment Support (geodetic services for road, rail, and tunnel construction), Investment Supervision (oversight of geodetic works), and an offset/digital printing facility (Drukarnia) operational since 2000 in Krasne. Technology assets include GNSS receivers, electronic tachymeters, digital levels, georadar, terrestrial laser scanners, and digital photogrammetric stations (Image Station by Intergraph, LPS by Leica-Geosystems), with proprietary in-house software developed for specialized geodetic processing.

The company operates as a B2B/B2G service provider, generating revenue almost exclusively through public procurement tenders (handled by a dedicated Bid and Quotation Department) and direct contracting. Customers are predominantly Polish central and regional government agencies - GUGiK, ARiMR, GDDKiA, PKP PLK, marshal offices, poviat starostw, and gminas - supplemented by cultural institutions (museums, universities, Ministry of Justice) for printing services. The firm holds an accredited classified information office (Kancelaria Niejawna) enabling work on defense and security-sensitive mapping projects, with employees holding Tajne and Poufne security clearances. It maintains an 85% majority stake in Okręgowe Przedsiębiorstwo Geodezyjno-Kartograficzne w Lublinie Sp. z o.o., acquired in January 2011. As of end-2021, the company employed 100 full-time staff, with management having transitioned from founder Łucjan Pietluch to Sebastian Skalski in December 2020.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves13 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• senseFly (Parrot SA): Swiss fixed-wing UAV manufacturer whose eBee X drone is explicitly operated by Geokart for VLOS aerial surveying. Direct adjacency in the drone-based mapping ecosystem.
• DroneDeploy: US-based cloud platform for UAV-based mapping and asset inspection, used widely by surveying firms. Comparable in the photogrammetry/UAV-data-processing niche Geokart addresses, though as a software provider rather than a service company.
• Pix4D: Swiss photogrammetry-software company specializing in processing drone and UAV imagery into orthophotos, point clouds, and 3D models — overlapping with Geokart's Fotogrametria and UAV service lines.

Broad incumbents

• Fugro N.V. Dutch geospatial and asset-integrity services firm with global aerial-surveying, hydrographic, and infrastructure-monitoring operations. Comparable in surveying/mapping service delivery but at vastly larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Woolpert: US-headquartered architecture, engineering, and geospatial-services firm offering aerial LiDAR, surveying, and mapping services. Comparable as a multi-discipline surveying/mapping service provider, though at US scale.
• Topcon Positioning Systems: Japanese surveying and positioning-equipment manufacturer serving global geodesy and construction markets. Comparable as a hardware-and-software incumbent whose tools underpin Geokart's daily survey operations.
• Esri: US-based GIS-software leader whose ArcGIS platform is explicitly used by Geokart (per technology stack). Comparable as a geospatial-information platform vendor addressing cartographic and database-modernization use cases across government verticals.
• Trimble Inc. US-headquartered positioning and mapping technology company offering GNSS, total stations, and geospatial software used by Geokart. Comparable in serving surveying/cartography workflows but at global enterprise scale across hardware, software, and services.
• Hexagon AB (Leica Geosystems): Sweden/Switzerland-based geospatial-technology conglomerate whose Leica Geosystems division is a global leader in surveying instruments, sensors, and software. Operates broadly across the same workflow as Geokart but as an equipment/software incumbent rather than a regional service provider.

Direct peers

• MGGP Aero: Polish aerial-surveying and photogrammetry firm specializing in UAV-based mapping, orthophotomaps, and GIS deliverables for infrastructure and government clients — directly comparable in core geodesy/cartography/photogrammetry service lines and Polish public-sector customer profile.
