Riello Urzadzenia Grzewcze SA of Torun is one of Poland’s predominant manufacturing plants. It is a part of Riello Group, the worldwide leader in the production of burners and one of the major European players offering products and services in the heating and air-conditioning market. Beretta boilers and heaters, manufactured in the factory at Torun, are Riello’s ‘flagship’ brand.

Riello Group, an Italian historical brand present on the national market since the 1920s, is now a world leader in combustion technology, which offers systems and technology for the heating and air-conditioning of all environments. The group’s main aim is transforming nature’s natural energy into power, which fuels life, in every condition and expression.

The company’s mission is to optimise comfort where people live and work, by proposing projects and solutions able to create the perfect harmony of climate, thanks to the integrated systems and services, which are always focused on the impact on the environment. Among the factors distinguishing Rug Riello from the competition are: the quality of the products, flexible response to the market demand, technological support of customers and product innovation.

The group offers a wide range of products: from large powerful burners to produce heat in commercial and industrial applications to the smaller burners for residential applications; from wall-hung and floor-standing boilers to water heaters, air-conditioners, system accessories, to solar heating, photo-voltaic, geo-thermal and cogeneration. While continually paying attention to energy saving and its impact on the environment, Riello Group has focused on cogenera-

tion and the use of renewable energies, including solar panels. In fact, today the company offers state-of-the-art technologies for the most sophisticated heating and air-conditioning systems, where it is working to set new standards in terms of efficiency, reduction of energy consumption and protection of the environment.

Riello is a complex industrial group that considers the entire world as its playground. This awareness has been consolidated and strengthened over time, leading the company to gradually expand its presence in international markets. After the first step in Europe and later in North America, Riello started its conquest of the Far East. The group takes pride in its 8 production sites and 5 research centres, provides employment for 8000 people (including 2000 employees and 6000 agents and independent distributors), owns 4 permanent organisations abroad, has a commercial network comprising 13 foreign subsidiaries and has thousands of customers in more than 120 markets. It owns more than 50 patents and 7 brands.

In 2015, Riello reached the primacy in Europe on monoblock premix burners at very low NOx emissions, reaching the maximum power of 1850 kW and 9 ppm NOx, with the RX 1800 SP/V model.

Torun and Wroclaw: jewels in the crown

At the turn of the century, Riello started to look at the possibility of opening a factory abroad. Finally, it decided to build a plant in Poland. The company was looking for the best place for investment in the north part of the country and found it in Torun. On August 10th, 2001, the Torun plant of 16,000m2 was opened to make Beretta products.

Beretta is one of the international brands of Riello Group, for more than 40 years expressing innovation and progress. Specialising in residential heating systems, Beretta offers traditional and condensing wallhung boilers, floor standing boilers, gas water heaters, cascade solutions for district heating, solar systems and heat pumps. The factory in Torun is focused on wall-hung boilers, and water heaters and have gained a significant position in Poland and international markets.

At the same time as Beretta was entering the Polish market, the Boren Jan Borkowski company started to operate as the official importer of Riello burners. Two years later, the Office of Technical Inspection completed factory certification. This way, Riello obtained approval for production in Poland and Riello Burners in Wroclaw was created. The company is fully owned by the Italian company Riello SA and is the number 1 producer of burners sold in Poland.

only reliable partners

No success comes by itself. In addition to the company’s own resources, structures and processes there are always the relevant partners needed, who support the company in meeting the challenges posed by its customers. RUG Riello cooperates with very well-known suppliers of materials, including such internationally recognised companies as Grundfos Operations A/S, Alfaplast SpAand Raccordi Speciali Srl. These partners contribute to an ongoing strengthening of the image and innovative character of the company, which in turn translates into successes and business opportunities for all partners taking part in the cooperation.

The company’s sales network is based on direct collaboration with leading manufacturers of heating and technological equipment; the service network is built through service and installation companies. RUG Riello offers its partners comprehensive support. Each year, the company conducts more than 30 training sessions for about 300 technicians. The Research Centre has a training centre with lecture rooms and four test boilers, where technicians are trained. The training area is used for many intensive courses and presentations of new products. The company runs a special Ateneo program dedicated to the Beretta authorised installers and service technicians. The programme includes qualification training, technical training, sales, service and authorisation training. Ateneo has access to Riello’s laboratory, technical support as well as the ability to test Beretta products before their official launch. n
