About CEPS

Company profile

CEPS, a joint-stock company, was established on January 1, 1999 by merging of Český plynárenský servis, and SEPS.

CEPS acquired this way a strong technical and engineering background that makes possible not only to provide pipeline services on highest quality level but also to efficiently help to its customers to assess reliability of their pipeline systems and maintain its high level in a highly qualified manner.

At present time, CEPS continues to cooperate closely with top scientific and R & D institutions.

Petr Crha

Both parent companies had been active in the field of pipeline services and integrity of  high pressure pipelines for many years before the merge and therefore many employees have a track record of more than 30 years in pipeline services and pipeline systems reliability.

ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001

Maximum satisfaction of customers’ needs, high level of safety and minimum negative impact on the environment are the main CEPS goals.
