What Korado, A.s. does
KORADO, a.s. is a privately held Czech joint-stock company founded in 1965 and headquartered in Česká Třebová, Czech Republic (Company ID No. 25255843). It designs and manufactures steel panel radiators, towel rail radiators, design radiators, convectors, and local ventilation / heat recovery units under sub-brands Radik, Koralux, Koratherm, Ventbox, Koraflex, Koraline, and Korawall. Technical depth includes high-variant product families (over 460 SKUs per major line), VKM8 universal bottom connections, RADIK HYGIENE designs that eliminate convection fins for healthcare-grade installations, and the 2025-launched RADIK V-POWER line of fan-assisted radiators that boost heat output by up to 60% and are engineered for low-temperature heat-pump compatibility. Electric heating elements (ERA, ERH, ECO) extend the portfolio into combined and standalone electric heating, with the ERA line offering Bluetooth/868 MHz NEX APP control for weekly programming and consumption monitoring.
The company's revenue model is hardware-only, based on unit sales of radiators, convectors, ventilation units, electric elements, and mounting accessories, with surcharges of 30% for KORADO color finishes and 40% for RAL colors beyond standard white (RAL 9016). Go-to-market is product-led via online configurators and software tools, with commercial representation across 23 countries and dedicated localized websites serving Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, France, Poland, Greece, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Russia, and US/CAN (eleven language sites in total). Distribution flows through wholesalers and a B2B partner eshop; pricing is quote-based. Customer segments span end homeowners (especially heat-pump retrofits and bathroom renovations), professionals (architects, designers, plumbers), wholesalers and project-driven institutional buyers (healthcare, education). Quality positioning rests on ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, RAL, GOST, Ukraine certification, and 2025 EPD registration enabling qualification under BVB, DGNB, LEED, BREEAM, Nordic Swan, and SBToolCZ sustainable-building schemes.

Korado, A.s. competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Henrad: Dutch manufacturer of steel panel radiators (part of Rettig Group). Direct peer in entry-to-mid segment panel radiators with overlapping Benelux and broader EU distribution.
- Stelrad Radiator Group: UK-based manufacturer of steel panel radiators, publicly listed on AIM. Closest direct peer — same core product category (RADIK-style steel panel radiators), same European specifier/wholesaler channel, and similar multi-country footprint.
- Zehnder Group: Swiss manufacturer of decorative radiators, towel rails, heating and ventilation/heat recovery. Direct peer across multiple KORADO sub-brands (design, towel rail, Ventbox ventilation), with strong European specification and project presence.
- IRSAP: Italian manufacturer of radiators and towel warmers with established European distribution. Comparable in product breadth (panel, design, electric, towel rail) and in Mediterranean and broader EU market presence to KORADO.
- Vasco: Dutch manufacturer of design radiators, towel rails and ventilation. Direct peer in design and bathroom radiator categories (overlapping with KORADO's Koralux and Koratherm sub-brands) and in European architectural/specifier channels.
- Jaga: Belgian manufacturer of steel radiators, convectors and dynamic heating/cooling solutions. Direct peer in steel panel and design radiators with comparable European specification presence and growing heat-pump-compatible product lines.
- Rettig Group (Purmo): Finnish-owned pan-European manufacturer of panel radiators and underfloor heating. Direct peer in product (steel panel radiators) and multi-country wholesale distribution, with broader HVAC portfolio including underfloor and climate systems.
- Radson: Belgian manufacturer of steel panel radiators (part of Rettig Group). Direct peer in panel radiators (competing directly with RADIK) across Belgium, France and broader EU wholesale channels.
Broad incumbents
- Viessmann: German manufacturer of full heating systems (boilers, heat pumps, radiators). Larger incumbent offering overlapping radiator products as part of a much broader climate and heat-pump portfolio — sets competitive context on heat-pump integration.
- Glen Dimplex: Irish manufacturer of electric heating, heat pumps and renewable heating solutions. Broader incumbent competing with KORADO's ERA/ERH/ECO electric heating elements and with growing presence in low-temperature heat-pump-compatible heating.
