Centrometal

What Centrometal does

Centrometal d.o.o. is a Croatian privately-held manufacturer of heating and cooling equipment headquartered in Macinec, Croatia, founded in 1965 as a heating-installation workshop by Karlo Zidarić and incorporated as Centrometal d.o.o. in 1990. The company employs over 270 people at its Macinec production facility, which is equipped with modern CNC laser-cutting and sheet-metal-bending equipment and supplemented by an in-house testing station, a 350 kW rooftop solar plant, and a School and Examination Center for installer training. Its product portfolio spans steel hot-water boilers (pellet, wood-chip, combined, gas/oil, electric), pellet air-heating stoves, monoblock R290 heat pumps (6-40 kW), solar collectors and pump groups, buffer and domestic-hot-water tanks, hydronic pressure vessels (hydrophores), and pre-fabricated container boiler rooms, differentiated by proprietary combustion technology (e.g., PelTec II Lambda, PelTec-Compact) and a unified smart-control ecosystem (CMNET cascade manager, CSK-Touch, HPCU360iCMP with web portal). Wholly-owned sales-and-service subsidiaries operate in Germany (Centrometal GmbH, Kiefersfelden), Italy (Centrometal Italia S.r.l., Torrebelvicino), and Latvia (SIA Centrometal), and Centrometal GmbH/Italy are extended across approximately 30 European countries via authorized distributors and authorized service providers, with own service departments in five markets. The business model is B2B hardware sales exclusively via the distributor channel (wholesalers and HVAC equipment retailers); revenues are unlisted, ISO 9001/14001 and FSB conformity-certified, and the firm holds a 2024 AAA Credit Quality Certificate. The company appears family-controlled (Davor Zidarić as current Director), with no disclosed external private equity, venture capital, or institutional shareholders, and integrates R&D with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture in Zagreb.
