Cuenod

What Cuenod does

Cuenod is an industrial burner manufacturer founded in 1899 and operating as the Burners Division of Ariston Group, with its headquarters in La Roche sur Foron, France, and additional offices in Vieux-Thann (France) and Resana (Italy). The company designs and manufactures monobloc and duobloc burners spanning a 15 kW to 80 MW power envelope across nine product series (NC PRO VIEW, PROTRON, EK EVO, NEXTRON, N, D-TRON, EK-DUO, RPD, plus biofuel variants), compatible with natural gas, domestic fuel oil, heavy fuel oil, and biofioul. Its customer base spans residential, commercial, light-industrial, and heavy-industrial heating markets, with named project references in industrial processing, food processing, logistics facilities, and municipal heating in France, Italy, and Belgium.

Cuenod's competitive positioning is anchored on proprietary combustion technology, including the patented RTC (Rapidity Total Combustion) quick-maintenance system, the FGV variable-flame-geometry system, the MDE2 microprocessor-based electronic burner control, and the ISC modular safety/control system. These support a value proposition centered on flame precision, low NOx emissions (EN676/EN267 Class 2 and Class 3), noise levels below 80 dB(A) up to 10 MW, and biofuel compatibility aligned with European energy-transition mandates. Certifications include EcoVadis Silver 2025, EN676/EN267, and ADEME producer registration (FR025472_05BCWL); industry positioning is reinforced through FF3C syndicate membership.

Commercially, Cuenod operates an indirect B2B channel model with no direct end-consumer sales. Revenue derives from hardware sales (burner equipment and spare parts), paid commissioning by certified technicians, and professional training through the Burner Academy. Distribution flows exclusively through professional distributors and installers, gated by a minimum €10,000 HT annual purchase threshold, and supported by a dedicated B2B portal (cuenod-pro.fr). With SAS social capital of €12,860,390 and 11-50 reported employees, Cuenod functions as a focused specialist unit within Ariston Group's broader thermal-solutions portfolio.
