What ECOLOS R&P Corp. LLC does

ECOLOS R&P Corp. LLC (Russian: ГК «Эколос») is a Samara-headquartered, full-cycle Russian engineering company that designs and manufactures wastewater treatment and pumping equipment for municipal and industrial customers. Founded in 1991 by Sergey Valerievich Stepanov, a Doctor of Technical Sciences, the group operates five production facilities across Russia (Samara, Novosibirsk, Ussuriysk, Saint Petersburg) and Kazakhstan (Almaty) totaling 34,000 m² of manufacturing floor space, and employs over 2,000 specialists. Treatment-system capacity spans 10 to 50,000 m³/day, and the company has delivered 550+ projects over the past ten years with annual output of approximately 140 equipment units.

The technology stack rests on proprietary engineering methods including the "Potentsial" dynamic modeling software built on the ASM-2d activated-sludge framework, four registered patents, and in-house manufacturing across five plants supporting a 100% import-substitution claim. The business model combines direct engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) project delivery to municipal administrations and industrial enterprises, equipment sales through exclusive distribution partnerships (notably SL PUMPS from 2023), and CIS export projects. Revenue is anchored to municipal tenders under Russian national projects such as "Ecology" and "Volga Recovery," supplemented by industrial-infrastructure contracts in oil & gas, food processing, mining, and rail, and by a growing Central Asian footprint following the 2022 Uzbekistan cooperation agreement and the 2023 Almaty plant opening.
