Engineering, People, and Space: Why Poly Systems Chose Versum

How a team with an engineering mindset and a human approach found a workplace that reflects their values and supports their growth.

Poly Systems deals with something people rarely think about, yet no building can function without it: moisture protection. The company works on sites where water can cause problems — such as roofs after rainfall, terraces, foundations of newly constructed buildings and industrial premises — addressing a key issue: how to make spaces safe.

The working environment for this type of activity needs to be both clear and functional. At some point it became evident that they needed a format that would bring the office, warehouse, and technical facilities together under one roof. That’s how Poly Systems arrived at the stock-office concept, and Versum became the natural choice — a business complex that matches their workflow and makes everyday processes simpler.

Who Poly Systems Are

Poly Systems is a Latvian company that has spent more than 11 years providing waterproofing solutions for private, industrial, and infrastructure projects across the country. They work in places where reliability is critical: from roofs and terraces to swimming pools, sports fields, foundations, and road structures.

Poly Systems is the official representative of ALCHIMICA S.A. and among the first suppliers of Hyperdesmo materials in Latvia. These solutions have long been established on the European market and are used across numerous projects — with over 495,000 m² of waterproofing already installed.

When working with clients, the team starts by understanding the real conditions on-site. They visit the property, examine how the structures behave, propose the right solution, carry out the work, and, when needed, provides additional technical support.

The task at hand for the team is not the applying of a product, but assessing what is happening at the site, uncovering why moisture appears in the first place and how to ensure the result endures. This mindset brings together engineering-level precision with calm, transparent communication.

Why Poly Systems Chose Versum

For years, Poly Systems has worked on a wide range of sites — private homes, industrial areas, infrastructure projects. And as the geography expanded and tasks became more complex, having a place where the whole team can meet, analyse projects and meet with partners.

The goal was not to find a “beautiful office,” but to choose a place that supported the company’s philosophy and working rhythm. That place became Versum.

Versum appealed to Poly Systems with its location, the thoughtful layout, and the ability to keep all work processes under one roof. For a team that moves between sites every day, the office became a stable point of coordination and a convenient place for meetings.

Poly Systems values office functionality and convenience for everyday work. The layout supports technical focus, meetings run more smoothly and quickly, and the space eliminates unnecessary logistics. And when you’re surrounded by specialists from related fields, the working rhythm forms naturally.

How Versum Supports Their Work

For Poly Systems, the office is the place where decisions are made. Here, various projects are analysed; complex technical details are discussed, revised documentation is reviewed, approaches are aligned, site visits are planned, and meetings with clients and partners take place.

At Versum, this process became more precise. Bright, calm spaces help the team focus on important details — small elements that determine the result in their industry. Convenient access reduces travel time, which is crucial when the team moves constantly between regions and sites.

Inside the company, they describe Versum simply: it is easier to maintain a steady workflow, making it easier to coordinate tasks and make technical decisions. Employees say that Versum is a place that encourages Poly Systems to be better.

Looking Ahead

Poly Systems is used to thinking years ahead. Good waterproofing is invisible, but it determines a building’s future: its durability, safety, and resilience. The same logic applies to workspaces — the environment should help the team stay on course and grow.

Versum has become the place where different parts of their work come together: engineering practice, analysis, meetings, planning. The company continues to expand and strengthen its position, relying on experience, technology, and a work environment where decisions come naturally.

“We at Poly Systems believe that good buildings begin with good waterproofing — but not only that. They also begin with coordinated teamwork, a healthy work environment, and a business philosophy where quality is not a compromise but a norm.” says Diana Marģeviča, Chairman of the Board.

Poly Systems look ahead with confidence: they have the team, the solutions, the technologies — and the place where those solutions are shaped every day.
