Rovico Tallinn OÜ

What Rovico Tallinn OÜ does

Rovico Tallinn OÜ is an Estonian privately-held company, founded in 1992, that manufactures, distributes, and services breathalyzers under the Alcoscan® brand through two entities — Rovico OÜ (retail) and Rovico Büroo OÜ (production, import, wholesale, e-commerce). It is the only breathalyzer manufacturer in Estonia and claims the largest market share domestically, with roughly one in five Estonian drivers using its devices; it also operates in Latvia via Rovico Latvia with retail stores in Riga. The product portfolio spans Class A/B/C accuracy tiers, from €5.20 single-use testers and €69–€390 personal units to €690–€889 police-grade Alcovisor devices with platinum electrochemical sensors, alongside professional workplace testing, access control, and bar-category systems.

The company's technology rests on electrochemical fuel-cell and RIST/MEMS/SnO2/KAIST semiconductor oxide sensors, combined with proprietary in-lab finalization and a traceable database of every unit sold. Both entities are ISO9001 certified by Bureau Veritas; the Riga lab is accredited to ISO17020, and Estonian calibration labs are recognized by EAML-I. The business sells through its trilingual e-commerce platform alkomeeter.com (Estonian, Russian, Latvian), three Estonian offices (Tallinn HQ, Tartu, Rakvere), Latvian retail locations, and an Omniva parcel locker service loop for maintenance returns.

Revenue is generated from one-time hardware sales (consumer and professional), recurring calibration and adjustment services (€25.90 semiconductor, €33.90 electrochemical), prepaid calibration coupons, an 18-month extended warranty for semiconductor sensors (€15), and consumables such as mouthpieces (€0.75 each). Pricing is supported by installment and deferred-payment options. Customer segments include individual consumers, enterprises (workplace testing, access control), law enforcement, and hospitality (bars and restaurants). The company holds an AA credit rating from AS Krediidiinfo and reports no venture or institutional investment.
