MEPS

What MEPS does

MEPS, s.r.o. is a Slovak private limited company headquartered in Malá Ida (Zlaté Pole 67/17, 044 20) that provides metallurgical production support, materials supply, and waste recovery services to industrial customers. The firm was founded in 2010 and operates across six Central and Southern European markets — Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Austria, and Italy — serving enterprise steel producers and metalworking companies. Named customers include U.S. Steel Košice, ArcelorMittal, Vítkovice Steel, Evraz, Liberty Steel Group, Vitkovice Heavy Machinery, Hesteel Serbia, Eurocast, Silbitz Group, and the Kovohuty foundries. Headcount is reported at 1–10 employees, with staff carrying 25+ years of experience in metal scrap purchasing, processing, brokering, and selling.

The company's core offering is a proprietary portfolio of metallurgical materials designed to reduce steel production costs and improve process yields: TC Mag 88 / MEMAG 88 (non-sulphur sintered material for oxide control and refractory protection), the FEMAG 90 family (90, 90L with ladle inhibitor, and 90B briquetted form), ECODEZOX (97% aluminum eco-friendly deoxidation material), STEELSKIM BP102 and DESLAGIT (desulphurization and slag skimming reagents), and the MEPSAND ladle insulating filling sand family. MEPS also holds a granted patent for zinc, lead, and cadmium removal from steelmaking dusts and sludges using rotary kiln technology, achieving 95–100% dezincification with input from Czech and Austrian investigators. Secondary lines include strategic raw materials trading (coal, metallurgical coke, Fe-pellets, iron ore) and metal scrap brokerage with chemistry and radioactivity control consulting.

MEPS generates revenue through one-time sales of metallurgical materials, transactional fees on raw materials and scrap trading, licensing royalties on the Zn/Pb/Cd removal patent, professional-services fees for non-hazardous waste consulting, and exclusive distribution of EnviroVital s.r.o. products (DUOZON 100 L water disinfectant, IODIS iodine concentrate). The firm holds ISO 9001:2016 certification, is GDPR compliant, and runs two EU R&D projects in collaboration with the Technical University of Košice covering zero-emission biomass conversion and an innovation voucher for eco-friendly deoxidation. An integrated e-shop on meps-slovakia.com supplements the direct B2B sales motion. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
