IS - Industry Solutions

What IS - Industry Solutions does

IS - Industry Solutions a.s. is a Žilina-headquartered industrial electrical engineering and automation contractor operating as a general contractor for design, implementation, and maintenance projects. The firm originated from a Siemens unit that began activity in 1993 and was spun off into an independent Slovak joint-stock company in 2013. It employs roughly 300 personnel split across approximately 60 engineers, 30 implementation specialists, and 200 installation technicians, supported by its own switchboard production facilities and warehousing.

The company's productized offering sits on top of its contracting base and includes the LightNET lighting management platform, EMIS, LIA/PASPORT systems, battery energy storage solutions (BESS, including a 55 MWh installation described as the largest in Slovakia at the time), and the EC Module — an energy community device co-developed with Synerwatt whose first commercial order came from a Czech concrete company in 2026. ISO certifications (9001, 14001, 27001, 45001, 50001) plus mining-sector qualifications qualify the firm for regulated industrial and mining tenders.

Revenue is generated primarily via large industrial, energy, municipal, and mining project contracts, supplemented by the recently launched IS Plus energy-sharing service that introduces a recurring-revenue mechanism. Active geographies are Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Ukraine, with 2026 expansion signals including a 55 MWh utility-scale BESS, the EUR 4M+ City of Martin lighting modernization, an underground substation built at 70 m depth, and an EU-funded SmartData research partnership with exe, a.s. and the Technical University in Košice focused on AI/ML application to traffic data.
