Home page › About Elsta › History
Elsta Sp. z o.o. was founded in 1988 as a company specializing in electrical assembly and measurement works. Initially, it mainly served the mining sector, but over time it expanded its offer to include projects in the field of industrial automation, design and production of electrical devices. In 2002, it was transformed into a limited liability company and began implementing large projects, such as comprehensive electrical installation works in the energy sector. Currently, the company operates on the international market, offering advanced solutions in the field of electrical and industrial automation, including low and medium voltage switchboards, container stations and energy storage for various industries.

Tax Office
– How dare you rob the homeland and create a private initiative, when the state paid for your engineering education?!

Company logo and name
The inspiration for the company name was… the series “Czterdziestolatek”, in which the Stefbud company operated. Elsta is nothing more than a combination of two words “elektryka” and “Stankiewicz”. The logo, in turn, was designed by the President’s wife, Mrs. Małgorzata Stankiewicz.
