What Mercus Logistyka sp. z o.o. does

Mercus Logistyka sp. z o.o. is a Polish diversified logistics and trading company headquartered in Polkowice, Lower Silesia, operating since 1991 as a subsidiary of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. capital group. The company runs four core business lines: freight and passenger logistics (including regional bus transport), electromechanical manufacturing through its ZPEM Sobin plant producing wiring harnesses and hydraulic pipes for mining and industrial machinery, retail and wholesale of construction materials and power tools, and trading. Headcount stands at approximately 104 employees, with safety and quality systems certified to ISO 9001 (held continuously since 1998, recertified in 2024) and ISO 37001 anti-bribery (September 2024).

The business model is that of an in-group multi-service platform: logistics and passenger transport serve KGHM and regional public-sector routes, while ZPEM Sobin supplies electromechanical subassemblies (wiring harnesses, hydraulic piping) used in mining and heavy industrial equipment, predominantly for KGHM-affiliated demand. The retail/wholesale division sells construction materials and tools (including MAKITA power tools) to external professional and consumer buyers through branded showrooms and the Galeria Gwiezdna commercial asset. Revenue mechanics mix recurring transport contracts, industrial component orders, and transactional retail/wholesale margin — with the KGHM Capital Group as the anchor counterparty for the first two streams.

Recent activity signals a portfolio refocus: non-core retail furniture has been wound down, retail real estate in Jelenia Góra and Głogów was divested in August 2024, and capital has been redeployed into fleet expansion (nine Iveco Crossway buses in 2025), a broadened MAKITA product line, and conversion of Galeria Gwiezdna into a multi-use service center. A new President was appointed in May 2024 and the firm obtained ISO 37001 anti-bribery certification in September 2024, indicating governance upgrades alongside the operational reshuffle.
