What O.K. SERVIS BioPro does

O.K. SERVIS BioPro is a Czech family-owned company founded in 1990, headquartered in Prague, operating as a specialized distributor and integrator of laboratory instruments, diagnostic kits, food-processing ingredients, and production technologies for the Czech and Slovak markets. The company serves vertical-specific customer bases across agriculture and grain processing, milling and baking, winemaking and fruit processing, dairy, brewing and beverage, veterinary and clinical diagnostics, and education/research, with a hybrid go-to-market combining regional technical-sales consultants and five specialized e-commerce storefronts (biopro.cz, evino.biopro.cz, kultury.biopro.cz, diagnostika.biopro.cz, proximos.cz).

The company's technology stack combines distributed international brands (Perten NIR analyzers, Stable Micro Systems texture analyzers, Ankom fiber analyzers, Don Whitley Scientific anaerobic workstations, DSM-Firmenich dairy cultures, bioMérieux microbiology, Randox biochips, Technibag Bag-in-Box fillers, TEWS microwave moisture analyzers) with a portfolio of own-manufactured proprietary products: VV06 / VV06 FIX / GRASYX automatic grain samplers with Touch Control automation, the RODE 2 rotary sample divider, the BioPro Rabies ELISA Ab diagnostic kit, the PROXIMOS on-line environmental monitoring system (including ProXistick IoT variant), and the Laboratorní kniha proprietary software for instrument data collection and statistical processing.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of instruments, ingredients, and technologies, supplemented by recurring service revenue from the NIR SERVIS calibration and application support network, which services approximately 300 NIR analyzers with tens of thousands of active calibrations across CZ and SK. The company operates with ~30 employees across its Prague headquarters, Slovak subsidiary O.K. SERVIS BioPro SK, s.r.o. (Bratislava), and group subsidiary SIOT Trade s.r.o., with AA creditworthiness from Creditreform and consecutive Dun & Bradstreet Registry of Solvent Companies certifications. Recent expansion signals include a first grain sampler installation in Germany in 2024, an EU Next Generation EU-funded marketing/SEO project in 2025, and continued investment in the proprietary hardware and software product line.

Broad incumbents

• DSM-Firmenich: Supplier of dairy cultures, enzymes, and rennets (Maxilact, DelvoFresh, Dairy Safe) that O.K.

SERVIS BioPro distributes and supports via NIR SERVIS — directly comparable as a supplier of the same analytical instrument category to the same agricultural and food-processing customers, but operating globally at much larger scale.

Direct peers

• Don Whitley Scientific: Manufacturer of anaerobic workstations and microbiology equipment that O.K. SERVIS BioPro distributes — directly comparable as a supplier of clinical and food microbiology instrumentation, though Don Whitley is the OEM and BioPro is the regional channel.
• Stable Micro Systems: Manufacturer of texture analyzers that O.K. SERVIS BioPro distributes in CZ/SK — directly comparable as a supplier of physical-property analytical instruments to the same food research and quality control customers, though operating as the OEM rather than the regional integrator.
• Romer Labs (part of Eurofins): Specialist in mycotoxin and food safety diagnostics with a portfolio of lateral flow tests, readers, and analytical services — directly comparable to O.K. SERVIS BioPro's food safety testing and grain quality offering, with similar end customers (mills, grain handlers, food manufacturers).
