Ekos Poznań

What Ekos Poznań does

Ekos Poznań (Ekos Sp. z o.o.) is a Polish environmental services company founded in 1987 and headquartered in Poznań, operating as a subsidiary of the French Saur Group (Saur SAS). The company delivers B2B field services across Poland including separator servicing, sewage and rainwater system cleaning, hazardous and non-hazardous waste processing, and accredited laboratory testing. Its commercial model is project- and contract-based, with pricing tied to the volume and classification of waste handled and the scope of lab analyses performed, serving industrial, manufacturing, municipal, and commercial customers nationwide.

The company's regulatory and technical foundation is a central feature of its positioning. It operates under an integrated permit for hazardous and non-hazardous waste processing issued by the Marshal of the Wielkopolskie Voivodeship, is registered in Poland's BDO waste database, and runs a laboratory accredited by the Polish Centre for Accreditation under number AB 1469. Management systems are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. Service delivery relies on a mobile specialized fleet for cleaning and waste handling, combined with in-house accredited laboratory capacity for waste characterization and compliance documentation.

Commercial activity is supported by a field sales model, with an EBOK electronic customer service platform in preparation to enable online order placement and tracking. The company executed an EU co-financed R&D project under the POIR 2.3.2 program (Dec 2019–Nov 2020) with total budget of 492,000 PLN and 340,000 PLN of EU co-financing. Ekos Poznań is led by Gilles Lassartesse (CEO) and Katarzyna Owczarzak (Lab Manager), with a workforce of approximately 9 employees. The Saur Group affiliation provides access to multinational water and environmental services parent resources, though no group-level revenue, capital events, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed at the Polish subsidiary level.
