What Mipel does

Mipel spol. s r.o. is a Czech private limited company headquartered in Brno, founded in 1991 and operating as an authorized distributor for the Spanish EPELSA GROUP since 1994. The company supplies commercial weighing scales, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, custom software, and ancillary security systems (CCTV and electronic security systems) to retail, wholesale, hospitality, and small-business customers within the Czech Republic.

The core product offering centers on EPELSA-manufactured commercial scales marketed under sub-brands including Jupiter, EuroScale, OpenScale, and Mars, covering labeling scales, ticket scales, hanging scales, self-service scales, and check-out systems. Hardware specifications vary by tier — entry-level Jupiter and EuroScale models use legacy Intel 386 microprocessors with 2MB RAM and support 8,200 programmable PLUs and networks of up to 60 interconnected scales via RS232 and Ethernet, while the OpenScale series integrates a 15-inch TFT touchscreen, a 9-inch customer-facing display, an Intel Celeron quad-core CPU, and Windows POS Ready. POS hardware sourced from Pioneer POS Solution Inc. (T3, S-Line II, PiPO X9/X10) complements the weighing portfolio. The company also delivers custom software development for business-system integration and provides technical services covering EZS and CCTV.

Mipel operates a direct-sales model with two primary channels — enterprise direct sales through its business and software department, and SMB/sole-trader sales through listed sales contacts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and quotes are issued on request. Revenue mechanics consist of hardware sales (scales and POS terminals) supplemented by professional services revenue from custom software development and technical/security-system installation. The company is wholly owned within the EPELSA GROUP corporate structure; no independent ownership, investors, or funding rounds are disclosed.
