Just over 30 years have passed between the first product of our craft workshop and the cutting-edge heat boilers that are winning the European markets at present. It may be a short time but there was a lot of enthusiasm and commitment. Today, as it was on day one, we enter projects with the idea and the need to improve the experience of users of our products, not our company. It turned out that by building the trust of partners and customers, we are in fact building our company. We started as a family business and over the years we have built a family of hardworking and dedicated workers and innovators. We think of products as clients think, of technology as producers think, and of employees as people think. Our products heat facilities around the world, and in Europe alone they already account for a significant market share. The energy and environmental demands of the new age keep our business in constant need to exceed the standards and requirements of the market, and sometimes to exceed our own expectations. It’s a passion for business.

COMPANY DEVELOPMENT AND ENTREPRENEURIAL STORY
It is commonly believed that the market offers new opportunities, while in fact, it is always the people who create opportunities themselves, and they often read markets. Innovative ideas do not always have to relate to the product itself. Sometimes it is a need for a new process or a value that couldn’t be nurtured elsewhere. What has guided us in the process of creation, growth, and maturation has always been the desire for something better. Better conditions, products, or production relationships. Thinking like an entrepreneur means looking at all the aspects of success, but an entrepreneur has to base success on only one of the aspects. In our case, that aspect was the absence of compromise in respect of the product quality. This is the principal investment that always pays off in the long run. The second most important investment is in people. We have created a place where ideas are welcome and commitment pays off, by building relationships and improving the conditions in which we work and think. There is the element of luck in every business, but it is reserved only for those who work on creating opportunities. There are no success stories without many attempts, and failed attempts can be overcome only with support. First of all support from families, and also from partners and institutions who are ready to help.
CONTRIBUTION TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
Companies comprise of objects, assets, and technology – but each of them should be viewed through the eyes of the people who run companies or work in them. Our company had its ups and downs since it was established, and we think it is very fair that everyone in our company personally benefits from any improvement and progress made, and not only suffers from the difficulties the company goes through. So our company’s destiny became in part the personal destiny of our staff. We built the awareness that this kind of practice should become common practice. We are proud of the status of our staff, comprising mainly of educated men and women with highly sought-after skills and with high demands. At RADIJATOR INZINJERING we manage to maintain a good balance of gender representation in jobs required by medium and heavy industry. We keep the balance primarily by investing in technology and training. Both of these investments are visible in our Design Centre, which works on a daily basis to improve the product quality and also the quality of the production processes. Equipment, raw materials, and energy sources – together with the systems for the production and accumulation of thermal energy – are being tested and improved in our laboratory of the latest generation. All this is necessary in face of the increasingly demanding environmental requirements of the market. Our boilers are among the most energy-efficient amid the tough competition from European manufacturers. Many certificates, awards, and support from international funds to finance the purchase of our products (perceived as responsible answers to the environmental challenges) show the extent to which everything we do makes sense. For us, for our employees, for the country in which we live and the Planet on which we exist.
