What Frapol Sp. z o.o. does

Frapol Sp. z o.o. is a Polish manufacturer of standard and specialized air conditioning, ventilation, heat recovery and fire-protection HVAC systems, headquartered and produced at a single campus in Kraków, Poland, and operating as a subsidiary of Grupa Kapitałowa INSTAL-Kraków since its 1990 founding as a Polish-Austrian joint venture. The product portfolio spans modular and compact air handling units (AF series and Zenith), the OnyX family of high-efficiency heat recovery ventilators (Compact, Sky, Pride, Passiv, Premium), the Frapol Prime monoblock R290 heat pump, the Framedic integrated cleanroom air conditioning system, and a complete fire ventilation line (FR-TZS, Franec RC pressure differential, PD steel smoke ducts, fire dampers). Underlying technology rests on a patented periodic heat exchanger in the Premium series, proprietary enthalpic polymer membrane humidity recovery, EC fan-based Zenith units, and TÜV-certified compliance with DIN 1946-4, VDI 6022-1, PN-EN 12101-7, PN-EN 13053 and PN-EN 1886.

Revenue is generated through three streams: custom-quoted sale of engineered HVAC and fire-ventilation equipment on multi-year project contracts; design and engineering services bundled into project delivery; and after-sales service and warranty contracts (24-month standard, extendable to 60 months). The company sells through segment-organized technical-commercial advisors (Investments/Designers and OnyX wholesale), a B2B portal at b2b.frapol.com.pl, an online ordering channel routed to production planning, and a dealer/distributor network for OnyX residential units, with selected-standard pricing for OnyX and quote-based pricing for the AF, Zenith, Framedic and fire-ventilation lines. Customer base spans Polish hospitals (Wielkopolskie Centrum Zdrowia Dziecka, Szpital Uniwersytecki Kraków-Prokocim, Centrum Medyczne HCP Poznań, Wojewódzki Szpital Zespolony Toruń), landmark venues (PGE Narodowy, TAURON Arena Kraków, Spodek Katowice), BREEAM-certified office developments (Podium Park, Generation Park, The Park Warsaw), Galeria Katowicka, the Canadian Embassy in Warsaw, Metro Warszawa, Wawel SA warehouses, and Park Wodny Bania Terma Białka Tatrzańska, with export presence in 17 named countries (claim of 35) across Central, Eastern, Northern, Southern Europe and the Middle East. Non-dilutive growth capital has included a 2017 European Regional Development Fund grant of 6,567,251.78 PLN (project value 13,921,601.81 PLN) for nZEB microclimate R&D.
