What CEMS does

CEMS (Control Electro Mechanical Systems) is a privately held Romanian engineering and integration services group, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Otopeni (Bucharest area), operating through five entities: CEMS EPC SA (the primary EPC contractor), AUTOMATICA SA (industrial automation and robotics), CEMS TEHNOLOGII SRL (hazardous-area technologies), and BARTEC SAFETY ENGINEERING SRL (explosion protection). The company delivers turn-key electrical, automation, and HVAC projects for industrial and commercial clients, with deep specialization in oil & gas and petrochemical environments. Core technical offerings include medium and low voltage power installations, industrial automation (PLC programming on Siemens, Eaton, and Phoenix Contact platforms), HVAC systems (as a certified LG and Daikin integrator), industrial processes (heat tracing and process analyzers via Bartec), Building Management Systems (Schneider Electric-based), industrial communications, and low current systems. CEMS also provides maintenance and service contracts, electric motor repair (Ploiesti branch), PRAM electrical testing, design/engineering, project management, and energy efficiency consulting.

CEMS's go-to-market is enterprise B2B direct sales, anchored by long-term relationships with major Romanian oil & gas operators including Petrotel Lukoil S.A. and OMV Petrom, supplemented by civil construction projects for hotel and residential developers. The business model is project-based and professional services in nature — engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) contracts plus ongoing maintenance — with quote-based, customized pricing and no public price list. Distribution is direct, supported by referral pipelines from global technology partners (Eaton, Schneider Electric, Bartec, LG, Daikin, Phoenix Contact, Oracle, Hubbell). Competitive differentiation is built on a regulatory moat: CEMS holds TÜV Thüringen ISO 9001, ANRE (energy regulation), INSEMEX (explosive atmospheres), fire safety, and police alarm licensing, in addition to certified system integrator status with multiple global OEMs. Revenue, ownership percentages, and headcount trends are not publicly disclosed.
