Lemitor

Founded during Poland’s transformative shift to a market economy in the early 1990s, Lemitor is one of the nation’s first private companies devoted to environmental protection. Established in Wrocław by Mr. and Mrs. Lewicki, the family-owned business has evolved from a local operation to a recognised leader in environmental sustainability across Europe.

Initially, Lemitor focused on air protection, providing air quality measurements and assisting companies with environmental permit applications. Over time, its services expanded to include noise assessments, wastewater analysis, laboratory testing and comprehensive environmental impact studies.

“We operate through two core divisions—an ISO-accredited laboratory and a consulting arm certified under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. These dual capabilities allow us to deliver precision and reliability across diverse client needs,” says Przemyslaw Lewicki, managing director.

Initially serving clients within Poland, Lemitor extended its expertise across Europe, overcoming the challenges of aligning with differing national certifications while adhering to harmonised EU regulations. Its international work includes impactful projects such as motorway noise mapping in Serbia, strategic noise maps in Croatia and environmental action plans in the Czech Republic. This expansion reflects Lemitor’s adaptability and ability to navigate complex regulatory environments while delivering tailored solutions to clients across borders.

At the heart of Lemitor’s operations is a strong customer-centric approach. The company emphasises personalised solutions, working closely with private and public clients to address their unique challenges. For example, Lemitor’s tailored due diligence processes ensure businesses can confidently navigate environmental requirements, while its consulting services guide public entities through complex regulatory landscapes. This adaptability and focus on specific client needs underpin its reputation as a reliable and innovative partner. Innovation has always been central to Lemitor’s growth.

A standout example is the company’s collaboration with the Technical University of Wrocław on an EU-funded initiative to develop a dynamic noise and air contamination map. This project integrated real-time measurements with AI-driven predictions, enabling accurate monitoring in regions lacking physical monitoring infrastructure. Embracing advanced technology, Lemitor demonstrated its ability to address complex environmental challenges while exploring new opportunities to enhance sustainability. Covering every stage of the project lifecycle, Lemitor offers comprehensive services designed to meet the needs of both private businesses and public sector organisations.

For private companies, particularly in manufacturing and large-scale production, it conducts detailed environmental due diligence to assess land suitability and identify risks. Its accredited laboratory analyses soil, water and air samples with precision, delivering actionable insights that guide decision-making. By establishing baseline reports, the company helps businesses distinguish existing contamination from future activities, effectively mitigating liability. On the consulting side, Lemitor ensures smooth navigation of complex permitting processes like securing integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC) permits and updating them to align with evolving regulations.

For public sector clients, Lemitor creates comprehensive environmental programs and action plans. These include noise action strategies, air protection frameworks and climate change adaptation initiatives. Helping public bodies achieve sustainable development goals, it diagnoses current environmental conditions, sets improvement targets and outlines clear timelines. The company’s extensive collaboration with governments has given it a unique perspective, allowing Lemitor to balance regulatory compliance with practical, on-the-ground realities.

Lemitor’s expertise in supporting public and private initiatives has been tested and proven in international projects. In Romania, the company conducted environmental assessments for national road authorities, while in Malta, it worked with the Environmental Resource Authority (ERA) on initiatives such as noise barriers and photovoltaic installations. It also performed noise surveys for military airfields in the Czech Republic and delivered strategic noise maps for urban areas. Across Poland, Lemitor assisted multinational corporations with complex projects, such as helping Intel secure critical environmental permits for a planned production facility near Wrocław. These achievements underscore Lemitor’s ability to overcome significant challenges, such as aligning with diverse certifications and navigating cross-border regulations, while delivering seamless solutions tailored to each client’s needs.

Beyond its technical services, Lemitor is actively aligning its capabilities with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) frameworks. Recognising the growing importance of ESG, the company is focused on delivering solutions that address the intersection of industrial activities and their environmental and social impacts. This strategic alignment positions Lemitor as a forward-thinking partner for organisations striving to meet modern sustainability standards.

Looking ahead, the company is committed to embracing further technological innovations and exploring new markets to broaden its impact and drive progress in environmental stewardship. A strong focus on expanding into emerging markets and enhancing AI-driven solutions underscores its forwardthinking strategy.

With more than 30 years of experience, Lemitor remains a leader in environmental protection. Combining advanced laboratory capabilities, innovative technology and specialised consulting expertise, the company offers end-to-end solutions for industries and governments alike. Its dedication to sustainability, adaptability and compliance has cemented its reputation as a trusted partner for navigating the evolving demands of environmental stewardship.

From its roots in Wrocław to its impact across Europe, Lemitor continues to shape a cleaner, more sustainable future for all.
