The company's service portfolio is organized around six core areas: (1) lubrication services covering machine lubrication, oil system flushing, microfiltration, oil dehydration, wind turbine oil changes, and transformer oil filling; (2) industrial lubricant distribution as an authorized distributor for ORLEN OIL, Nynas transformer oils, and STRUB oils and greases; (3) diagnostic services including oil/lubricant/fuel testing, transformer oil analysis, Grease Thief\u00ae grease diagnostics, ultrasound, thermography, and video endoscopy; (4) engineering consulting comprising machine-park supervision, expert consultations, and training; (5) hydrodynamic cleaning via high-pressure water jet for pipelines, heat exchangers, and tanks; and (6) chemical cleaning for pressure equipment, turbines, condensers, CIP systems, and oxygen-purity degreasing. Underlying the service stack are the proprietary Smart Ecol mobile application, the registered Grease Thief\u00ae grease diagnostic trademark, and an in-house PCA-accredited oil analysis laboratory.

Ecol operates as a B2B enterprise field-services provider, delivering directly on-site at customer industrial facilities under quote-based, scope-defined contracts. It serves eight vertical segments \u2014 conventional energy (primary), nuclear energy, chemical and refining, renewable energy/wind farms, mining/metallurgy, food processing/brewing, transport/rail/auto, and paper \u2014 with active geographic operations in Poland, the Czech Republic, Sweden, and Germany. Differentiated capabilities rest on a dense certification portfolio (ISO 9001/14001/45001/27001, T\u00dcV SCC and WHG, ICML membership, NSF H1) and on the 2024\u20132025 inorganic expansion of the Ecol Group through the acquisitions of Ad Moto (industrial services, 2025) and Proserv (design and production, 2025), plus the exclusive regional partnership with Atten[2] for intelligent maintenance management.
