ProVITA

What ProVITA does

ProVITA (ООО Научно-производственная компания «Провита») is a privately held Russian research-and-production company founded in 1991 and headquartered in Saint Petersburg. The company designs, manufactures, and commissions air separation and gas separation equipment based primarily on short-cycle non-heated adsorption (PSA) and vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) technology using zeolite molecular sieves in dual-adsorber configurations. Its product portfolio spans adsorption and membrane nitrogen generators (purity 95% to 99.9999%, capacity 1.8 to 10,000 m³/h), industrial and medical oxygen generators (purity 90% to 99.5%, capacity 1 to 5,000 m³/h), mobile cylinder-filling stations, block-container skid solutions, hydrogen electrolysis units, biogas and associated petroleum gas systems, adsorption air dryers, and shell-and-tube heat exchangers. ProVITA claims to be the sole manufacturer of VPSA oxygen units in the Russian Federation, an exclusivity that supports its positioning in higher-capacity oxygen applications.

The company sells through a direct enterprise field-sales motion into more than 1,100 named industrial and healthcare customers across Russia and CIS, delivering turnkey projects that include technical consultation, custom engineering, factory testing, logistics to any location in Russia and CIS, on-site commissioning, and after-sales service via an in-house service department. Pricing is quote-based, varied by equipment composition, capacity, and purity, with multi-year contract cadence typical for industrial capital equipment. Customers are diversified across vertical segments including healthcare (e.g., Military Medical Academy, Lakhta Clinic, BSMP hospital), oil and gas (LUKOIL-Nizhnevolzhskneft, Pskovneft-Terminal), mining (DONSKOY YANTAR, gold mining operators), food and dairy (Sibirskoe Moloko, Alekseevsky Dairy Plant), pharmaceuticals (Polysan since 2005, Synthesis), metalworking/laser cutting, manufacturing (Tyumen Battery Plant, automotive plant using N1200U unit), and battery and electronics manufacturing.

The business is founder-controlled, with General Director Arkadiy Klavdievich Akulov as the named executive; no external private equity, venture, or institutional ownership is disclosed. Operating geographies are restricted to Russia and CIS, with a Spanish-language website signaling nascent export intent. Cumulative scale metrics include 2,460 implemented projects, 1,250+ deployed units, and a 10,000 m² owned production facility. Headcount falls in the 101-250 employee band, and revenue is not publicly disclosed. ProVITA operates an in-house R&D function staffed with PhD-level engineers, which serves as the technical foundation for its custom-engineering offering.
