The shape of the portfolio
A named list of holdings does not appear here. Where a company of the group trades under its own brand and its results are public, it is named in the relevant section; registry data is otherwise available to partners directly.
The group's role
In some of the companies the group holds a majority and runs the management; in others it is a minority participant with no operating role. The holding itself trades in none of them.
Project vehicles
Two of the active companies are special purpose vehicles set up for specific investment projects, each with its own capital structure and a defined circle of partners. Further vehicles and mandates that are subject to confidentiality agreements do not appear in this overview.
Selected completed projects
The projects below are named because they were publicly presented — at international trade fairs, in the press, or as finished buildings. Part of the group's work cannot be presented this way; it appears at the end of the list as a type of assignment, without the counterparty and without the location.
Two special purpose vehicles — BIOELEKTRA Horovce, a. s. and BIOELEKTRA Martin a.s. — established to build and operate advanced material recovery facilities for non-hazardous waste in the Košice and Žilina regions. Both rest on the non-combustion RotoSTERIL technology: waste is sterilised in steam autoclaves, which halts biological decomposition and methane release, and the dried material is then sorted automatically, recovering substantially more secondary raw material than conventional sorting.
OutcomeEach facility sits in its own special purpose vehicle with its own capital structure and a defined circle of partners.
Cross-border cooperation between the Slovak and Polish defence industries on a self-propelled gun howitzer. The project married the Slovak 155 mm 52 calibre ZUZANA 2 weapon system to the Polish UPG-NG universal tracked chassis. The group's task was to establish relations between representatives of both industries, lead multidisciplinary teams and keep communication running between them throughout.
OutcomeThe howitzer was presented at the MSPO 2015 international defence exhibition. The cooperation set a precedent for further Slovak-Polish projects.
Joint development of an 8×8 wheeled armoured personnel carrier based on the Polish KTO Rosomak with the Slovak TURRA 30 remotely controlled weapon station — a component of the armoured personnel carrier modernisation programme of the Ministry of Defence of the Slovak Republic.
OutcomeThe vehicle was presented at the IDET 2015 and MSPO 2015 exhibitions.
Two residential buildings in Prešov, including 68 parking spaces in underground garages. The first high-rise residential project with underground garages in the city in roughly twenty years.
OutcomeCompleted and handed over. The project was covered by regional and trade press.
Preparation of a new residential site in Prešov. It required securing a change to the zoning plan in cooperation with the municipality, an environmental impact assessment, and the construction of complete technical infrastructure — water supply, sewerage, electricity and telecommunications.
OutcomeThe site was made ready for construction and the plots handed over to buyers.
Acquisition and return to service of decommissioned electric locomotives built between 1963 and 1965. The project covered sourcing and acquiring the machines, main overhauls including traction motors and electrical equipment, modifications to meet current safety and operating standards, obtaining permits for a foreign market, and delivery logistics.
OutcomeThe locomotives returned to heavy freight service with operators on the Polish market. The operators are not named.
Assessment of the options for introducing a secured track-and-trace system for products subject to excise duty. The solution rests on authentication and traceability of the product from manufacture to retail sale through secure labelling and data recording, with the aim of improving excise collection and curbing illicit trade.
OutcomeThe assignment is subject to confidentiality. The type of task is stated, not the counterparty or the country.
Representation of landowners in preparing and executing a large acquisition of prime land in the High Tatras by foreign buyers. The mandate covered finding and vetting the buyers, legal and environmental due diligence, conducting negotiations and preparing the documentation.
OutcomeThe transfer was completed. The parties to the transaction are not named.
A significant part of the group's work is subject to confidentiality agreements and is not a matter for public presentation. What is stated here is what can be stated.
