What Elwo Engineering does

Elwo Engineering Sp. z o.o. is a Polish private limited company specializing in industrial filtration and flue gas cleaning systems, established in 2017 as a wholly-owned member of the Czech-headquartered ZVVZ GROUP, a.s. The company designs, engineers, and supplies electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), pulse-jet bag filters, dust transport systems (mechanical and pneumatic), and integrated multi-pollutant flue gas treatment systems targeting compliance with EU Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) and Best Available Techniques (BAT) conclusions. Its technology portfolio achieves up to 99.9% particulate collection efficiency on ESPs and emissions below 5 mg/Nm³ on bag filter installations, with modular architectures enabling adaptation to specific process conditions and online maintenance capability.

The company operates an enterprise field sales motion targeting power generation, district heating, metallurgy, cement, waste-to-energy, and chemical industries, with documented projects at major Polish utilities including Tauron Ciepło, PGE Energia Ciepła, PGE El Rybnik, PGNiG Termika, and ArcelorMittal Katowice. Revenue is generated through six streams: equipment supply and manufacturing (one-time project contracts), turnkey project delivery covering engineering through commissioning (professional services), feasibility studies and technical expertise assessments (professional services), on-site technical measurements including emission verification (professional services), assembly supervision and ongoing service (professional services), and spare parts supply (hardware sales). Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed, with sales conducted through direct technical engagement.

Elwo functions as a lean 7-person engineering boutique within the ZVVZ GROUP holding structure, leveraging parent-group entities for manufacturing scale, technical measurement services, pneumatic transport solutions, and assembly/erection works through the Ostrava branch. This structure enables the company to deliver turnkey multi-million EUR industrial BAT-compliance modernizations without carrying large in-house production headcount. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified (2024-2027) and registered in Poland (NIP: 6381830427), led by Chairman Andrzej Stróżik and Board Member Marcela Škutchanová.
