What Kospel does
Kospel sp. z o.o. is a privately held Polish manufacturer of electric heating equipment, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Koszalin with close to 700 employees across three production plants (two in Koszalin plus Karlino and Damnica). The company designs and produces — in-house, from metal stamping and enameling through electronics and final assembly — a complete range of electric heating products: instantaneous and storage water heaters (PPE4, POC Inox series), electric central heating boilers (EKCO, EKD, EKP lines), inverter heat pumps from 8 to 23 kW (HPM2 series) plus a 250 L DHW heat pump (HPSW2-250), DHW heat exchangers (SWK, SW, SB, SBPS, SBPG), and buffer tanks (SVK, SV/SVW, SVH), with most products backed by an 8-year manufacturer warranty.
The business generates revenue primarily through unit hardware sales distributed via a nationwide network of authorized sales points covering all 16 Polish voivodeships, a trained Kospel PRO installer channel, and international export to 50 countries across 6 continents. Secondary revenue comes from paid after-sales services — including mandatory zero-startup commissioning of heat pumps for warranty validity, annual periodic inspections, post-warranty repairs, and spare-parts sales through the Aura Kospel service portal — and from a localized online store. Products are certified to ISO 9001:2015, VDE, and UL standards, and the portfolio is positioned around electric and hybrid heating scenarios, including integration with photovoltaic installations and dynamic electricity tariff optimization through buffer storage.
Kospel's customer base is overwhelmingly residential — homeowners seeking electric or hybrid central heating and domestic hot water solutions, frequently with subsidy support under Poland's Czyste Powietrze (Clean Air) program — served through professional installers and HVAC contractors who form the company's primary indirect sales motion. The PPE4 mobile app provides local Wi-Fi-only device control with no internet connectivity or personal data collection, and the company is currently investing in a new automated Koszalin heat-exchanger factory, an R&D center under construction, and multiple 2026 product launches while simultaneously optimizing its operational structure.
