What Licon does
Licon s.r.o. is a Czech private limited company headquartered in Stráž nad Nisou that manufactures heating convectors and ventilation heat-recovery units. Founded in 1966 and operating with 51–100 employees, the company sells a structured product portfolio under sub-brands including KORAFLEX (trench heaters), KORALINE (freestanding convectors), KORAWALL (wall-mounted convectors, including the Therm-V variant with smart controls), KORABASE (heat exchangers), KORASPACE (facade convectors), and VENTBOX (centralized and decentralized heat-recovery units with firmware-updatable controls). Its core technology is precision-engineered convector manufacturing and energy-recovery ventilation hardware, complemented by regulation systems and replacement filters as aftermarket revenue.
The company reaches customers through a direct sales and export department, six-language regional websites (Czech, English, German, French, Russian, Polish), industry trade show participation including the upcoming CMPX 2026 in Toronto, and integration of selected product lines into the MagiCAD Cloud BIM platform for Revit specification. Revenue is generated almost entirely through hardware sales of convectors and heat-recovery units, plus accessories and spare parts, with quote-based project pricing rather than disclosed list prices. Customer segments span architects and building designers, HVAC contractors and installers, residential and commercial end users, and BIM design professionals, with positioning around manufacturing quality, technical precision, long service life, short delivery times, and customized special designs for project-specific requirements.

Licon competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Jaga: Belgian manufacturer of design radiators, trench heaters, and low-H2O convectors with strong architectural-specification positioning across Europe. Highly comparable to Licon across product category (convectors/trench heaters), target customer (architects/HVAC contractors), and distribution model.
- Kampmann: German HVAC equipment manufacturer specializing in trench heaters, convector units, and heat recovery/air-handling systems for commercial and residential buildings. Direct overlap with Licon's convector and recuperation product lines and similar specification-driven go-to-market.
- Vasco: Belgian/Dutch manufacturer of design radiators, towel radiators, and convectors with European distribution. Comparable to Licon in convector focus, architectural integration, and multi-country sales coverage, though typically larger scale.
- Cordivari: Italian designer and manufacturer of radiators, towel warmers, and related heating products including design convectors. Comparable to Licon in product category, design-led positioning, and project specification selling.
- Blauberg: European manufacturer of ventilation equipment including energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) and heat recovery units sold under multiple brands. Closely comparable to Licon's recuperation unit business, particularly the VENTBOX and centralized/decentralized HRU range.
Broad incumbents
- Zehnder Group: Swiss-listed manufacturer of design radiators, ventilation, and indoor climate systems with pan-European presence. Competes with Licon in both convector and heat recovery ventilation categories but operates at materially larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
- Rettig (Purmo Group): Finnish-owned pan-European radiator and underfloor heating manufacturer under the Purmo brand. Competes with Licon in hydronic heating distribution and benefits from larger scale, multi-country sales, and broader product portfolio.
- Stelrad: UK-listed designer and manufacturer of radiators and heating solutions, primarily serving the UK and European markets. Comparable to Licon in heating product manufacturing but with larger scale and a UK-centric distribution focus.
- Viessmann: German manufacturer of heating, industrial, and refrigeration systems with broad portfolio including heat pumps, boilers, and ventilation. Competes with Licon indirectly through heat recovery and hydronic distribution categories at substantially larger scale.
Others
- KORADO a.s. Czech heating products manufacturer that appears as a related brand within Licon's corporate history. Comparable as a regional Central European manufacturer of convectors and radiators with overlap in product category and Czech/European market.
