What Metroprojekt sp. z o.o. does

Metroprojekt sp. z o.o. is a Warsaw-based engineering design firm founded on December 14, 1950, by Polish Government Resolution specifically to provide design services for the Warsaw Metro. With 62 employees and 70+ years of continuous operation, the company offers comprehensive project services across eight core disciplines: railway traffic control systems (including station-dependent systems, linear block systems, level crossings, and ERTMS/ETCS L1 and L2), metro and rapid transit systems (including ATC/ATO and CBTC at GoA2/GoA3 automation levels), rail and road infrastructure, transport planning, water and sewage networks, building and engineering structures, electrical power networks and industrial automation (including BMS), and investor representation with technical expertise.

The company delivers project-based B2B engineering design services to four primary customer segments: investors requiring end-to-end investment handling from analysis through supervision, construction contractors needing detailed technical designs, other design offices seeking collaborative capacity, and universities/scientific institutes for joint R&D. Metroprojekt designed nearly the entire Warsaw Metro Line 1 (16 of 21 stations and 19 of 21 tunnels), establishing deep institutional knowledge of Polish rail and metro infrastructure.

The business operates on a project-based fee model with no publicly disclosed pricing or revenue figures. It is a privately held Polish limited liability company (sp. z o.o.) with registered share capital of 2,244,000 PLN, having transformed from a state-owned bureau to an LLC on July 1, 1991, and rebranded to its current name on September 1, 2023. No parent company, venture capital, or private equity ownership has been disclosed. The firm has been recognized with three Polish government awards, including the 1996 Medal "IV Wieki Stołeczności Warszawy" for its contribution to the development of Warsaw.
