What Ekor does

EKOR, s.r.o. is a regional waste management utility headquartered in Kyjov, Czech Republic, providing municipal and commercial waste services across 46 municipalities in the South Moravia Kyjov region. The company operates a vertically integrated waste handling platform spanning collection, separation, transport, recycling, composting, and landfill disposal. Its infrastructure includes seven IVECO collection vehicles (with three ADR-qualified for hazardous cargo), a fleet of 5–18 m³ containers, a sorting line (dotřiďovací linka), the modern Krechtová composting facility at the Těmice Waste Processing Center, the Těmice landfill accepting non-hazardous waste and ETERNIT, five collection yards (Kyjov, Vracov, Dubňany, Svatobořice-Mistřín, Čejč), and a RE-USE center at the Kyjov collection yard. In the last reported year the company processed approximately 11,500 tons of total waste, sorted 4,502 tons of glass and 6,156 tons of plastics.

Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring municipal service contracts (waste and BIO collection across 46 municipalities), transaction-based landfill disposal fees, container rental and transport fees for business entities, sale of certified compost sold under the Kompekor brand plus aggregates (gravel, sand), and sale of waste containers at the Kyjov yard. The company is 100% owned by the Dobrovolný svazek obcí Severovýchod (DSO Severovýchod), a voluntary association of Kyjov-region municipalities, with stated basic capital of 21,600,000 CZK. Headcount is reported as 112 employees on the homepage with 76 core employees as of January 2025. Pricing for municipal contracts is negotiated per municipality on multi-year terms; disposal is pay-as-you-go; and consumer compost products are unit-priced (e.g., Bio 150L container at 599 CZK).

Regional players

• Technické služby města Brna: Municipal technical services company owned by the city of Brno providing waste collection and cleaning services. Comparable to Ekor as a publicly-owned municipal waste operator, though anchored to a different South Moravian territory than Kyjov.

Broad incumbents

• FCC Česká republika / FCC Environment CEE: Subsidiary of a major European waste management group providing municipal and commercial waste collection, treatment, and disposal across Czech Republic and CEE. Broader incumbent operating in the same space with wider geographic and service portfolio; competes for the same municipal tenders.
• Veolia Česká republika: Czech arm of global environmental services giant Veolia, providing waste collection, treatment, energy recovery, and circular economy services nationally. Broad incumbent in the same waste services space across all customer segments.

Direct peers

• Pražské služby a.s. Prague's municipal waste services company providing collection, street cleaning, and waste processing to the capital city. Comparable to Ekor as a municipally-owned, vertically integrated waste services operator, though at substantially larger scale.
• Marius Pedersen a.s. One of the largest Czech and Central European waste management companies operating collection, transport, recycling, and disposal services across multiple regions. Directly comparable on business model (commercial + municipal collection, separation, recycling) and on regional multi-municipality contract structure.
• SAKO Brno: Municipal waste management company serving the city of Brno and surrounding area, providing collection, sorting, and disposal services through its own fleet and infrastructure. Directly comparable to Ekor's municipal-owned model serving a defined Czech regional catchment.
• Rumpold s.r.o. Austrian/Czech family-run waste management and recycling group active across CEE, offering collection, sorting, and recycling services. Directly comparable in regional collection-and-sorting operations and in serving municipal/commercial customers in the Czech market.
