What Investeko does

Investeko S.A. is a Poland-based, publicly listed (Warsaw Stock Exchange NewConnect, 2014) environmental protection and consulting firm operating from Świętochłowice, with a continuous consulting practice dating to 2001 and a founder-led operating history since 1999. The company delivers environmental consulting 360°, spanning environmental impact assessments, integrated and sectoral permits, environmental audits, ESG and BREEAM-oriented outsourcing, contaminated land reclamation, waste-to-energy consulting, and climate adaptation services. Primary customers are Polish municipalities and local government units accessed through public procurement, supplemented by industrial and infrastructure operators (notably Katowice Airport, a multi-decade client since 2006) and private enterprises seeking ESG/CSRD compliance support.

The firm's differentiator is its science-business integration: an in-house R&D Center hosts proprietary technologies — LIFECogeneration.pl for waste and sewage-sludge gasification, the PLC (PlasticLifeCycle) mixed-plastic recycling system, LIFEtec industrial waste gasification, and Nature-Based Solutions for climate adaptation — developed through four EU LIFE-funded projects (LIFE COGENERATION.PL 2013-2018, LIFE Archiclima 2021+, plasticLIFEcycle 2022+, and LIFE DREAM CITIES 2025-2029). These technologies are described as having no direct equivalents in the Polish market and feed both the consulting practice and the capital group's operating subsidiaries (IVE Polymers, EkoPartner Silesia, Investeko Serwis) and the IVE Labs additive-manufacturing spin-off.

Revenue is generated through three streams: project-based professional services fees (the dominant stream), transaction-fee-based plastic recycling and regranulation via IVE Polymers, and potential licensing royalties from the proprietary technology portfolio, supplemented by EU co-funding that subsidizes R&D. The go-to-market is direct B2B/B2G sales in Poland, with a public-procurement tender channel for government clients; there is no public pricing. Ownership is concentrated, with founder/CEO Arkadiusz Primus holding 67.64% of capital and 77.78% of voting rights through a dual-class share structure.

Services are delivered on a project-by-project basis, typically through direct sales and public procurement.
2. Plastic Recycling Operations: Revenue from plastic recycling operations including regranulation, plastic milling, and 3D printing of furniture from recycled plastics, conducted through the subsidiary IVE Polymers. Services include plastic waste collection, recycling, and production of quality regranulates.
3. R&D and Technology Licensing: Potential revenue from licensing proprietary technologies (LIFECogeneration, PLC, LIFEtec) developed at the R&D center, as well as from EU co-funded research projects that subsidize technology development costs.
