Uniserv S.A.

What Uniserv S.A. does

Uniserv S.A. is a Polish specialty industrial construction and engineering contractor headquartered in Katowice with an engineering design office in Kraków, listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange under ticker UNS and operating as part of the Industry S.A. group. The company designs and delivers turnkey industrial assets — reinforced concrete, steel, and FRP industrial chimneys (single- and multi-flue); natural-draught and mechanical-draft cooling towers; reinforced concrete silos; and rotary kilns, shaft furnaces, and process lines — using proprietary methods such as slide technology for reinforced concrete shells and PENNGUARD lining systems. Complementing construction, Uniserv offers engineering services (feasibility studies, technical optimization, statutory inspections), modernization and renovation of existing installations, environmental-protection equipment (dust removal, gas purification), and a biogas/biomethane plant offering developed in partnership with Inven Tech and Biogas System S.A. with NCBR R&D funding.

The company serves enterprise clients in Polish power generation (TAURON Wytwarzanie, PGE GiEK, EDF Polska, Fortum Zabrze), petrochemicals (PKN ORLEN), metallurgy (KGHM, Boryszew), cement (Górażdże, Warta), and general industrial construction (Budimex, RAFAKO), with selected international deliveries to Lithuania, Estonia, and Ireland. Uniserv generates revenue primarily through competitive EPC tenders and consortium bidding, typically delivering large one-time industrial projects (e.g., a 67.6M PLN gross Cieplownia Kortowo modernization award, a 56M PLN TAMEH contract) plus recurring modernization, renovation, and engineering service work. It maintains ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and 27001 certifications plus EN 1090-1 and EN ISO 3834-2 welding certifications. Ownership is highly concentrated: CHK S.A. (Artur Nizioł's vehicle) holds 90.62% of shares and Artur Nizioł holds 9.38%.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Erbud: Polish construction group with industrial, commercial, and energy segments. Comparable to Uniserv in industrial construction delivery but at materially larger scale across multiple verticals.
• Bilfinger: European industrial services provider for process industries including power, chemicals, and oil & gas. Comparable to Uniserv in industrial maintenance and EPC for heavy industrial clients, but at continental scale.
• Budimex: One of Poland's largest general construction and infrastructure groups, active in energy, industrial, and civil construction. Comparable to Uniserv in industrial client base (Budimex is also a Uniserv customer) but operates at much broader scale across infrastructure.
• Unibep: Polish listed construction company with industrial construction and modular capabilities. Comparable as a Polish-listed construction firm but with broader geographic and vertical exposure than Uniserv's pure industrial focus.

Direct peers

• PBG (and subsidiaries like Rafako/Erfbud): Polish industrial construction group historically focused on oil & gas, power, and environmental EPC. Comparable to Uniserv as a Polish industrial EPC contractor with similar power and petrochemical exposures.
• Mostostal Zabrze: Polish industrial construction and EPC contractor specializing in industrial structures, power, and metallurgy projects. Directly comparable to Uniserv in scope, customer base, and workforce scale, and notably the former employer of Uniserv's current CEO.
• Polimex Mostostal: One of Poland's largest industrial construction groups with strong power, chemical, and refinery EPC capabilities. Comparable to Uniserv in industrial EPC scope but at meaningfully larger scale, serving many of the same Polish state-owned enterprise clients.
• RAFAKO: Polish EPC contractor focused on power generation and environmental protection installations (including flue gas desulfurization). RAFAKO is a listed customer of Uniserv (mechanical draft cooling towers for nitrogen plant) and a direct peer in power-sector EPC.

Others

• KGHM (ZANAM): Polish copper major that is both a Uniserv customer (KGHM Copper Works Głogów cooling tower work) and a significant in-house industrial construction arm. Included as an adjacent customer/peer with relevant industrial construction capabilities.

Emerging players

• ZUE Group: Polish listed contractor active in railway energy and power infrastructure. Partial overlap with Uniserv in power-sector civil construction and grid-side infrastructure, but more focused on traction/municipal energy.
