History

PAKOLE Kft. was established in 1991 by three engineers with the aim of manufacturing, importing and trading gas-operated heating appliances suitable to be used mainly in industrial spaces that offer over 20% of energy savings in comparison to traditional heating systems for Hungarian customers.

PAKOLE Kft. started its business activity in Székesfehérvár, Hungary, under the address Széchenyi u. 19, then after the millennium the company purchased premises in an industrial zone in Székesfehérvár, at Börgöndi út 8-10, where the company was set up to manufacture, import, trade and service heating appliances.

Before the company was founded, the owners of PAKOLE Kft. had gained considerable experience in the manufacturing and trading of gas-operated infrared heaters, and on the basis of this knowledge they developed their own heating appliance, which they named GH and which has been traded continuously and successfully since then.

They realized that another important and widely used device, the tube radiant heater, also has the potential to gain substantial market share in the field of industrial heating technologies. For this reason, they started the launching of these products in the Hungarian market. Initially, the domestic demand was supplied by importing the devices from the French company Gaz Industrie.

In the course of the trading of heating appliances and the assistance provided for their installation, the lack of professional gas industry construction elements in the Hungarian market became more and more apparent, leading to a period in the company’s life when the level of import significantly increased. Noticing the demand for professional accessories, the leaders of the Kft. set the aim of finding the European manufacturing companies that offered products integrable within their scope of activity of that time (liquid gas supply and related fittings, pressure reducers, coupling elements, wall-mounted boilers, stock-farming technologies, heating systems for livestock farms, etc.).

As a result of this networking activity, the company became the Hungarian distributor or the exclusive representative of several Western-European manufacturers. This import activity was extended during the years and a domestic wholesale network was developed, which grew to a size that justified its separation from the mother company. Thus, PAKOLE Gáztech Kft. was established in 1999 which is still one of the most important suppliers of Hungarian retail trade stores today.

Meanwhile, PAKOLE Kft. continued its manufacturing and trading activities in the field of industrial heating technology, where they were able to achieve constant improvement. This improvement brought forth the idea to widen the product range and develop devices which had been supplied from import before. The first self-made tube radiant heater was thus developed, integrating the many years’ experience gathered in the area of servicing and installing. It was first named as OMEGA and later renamed as ZENIT. In addition, an air heater device (LH) was developed for the agricultural sector, which is perfectly suitable to be used for the heating of livestock farm buildings and greenhouses.

Due to the prolonged and thoughtful market development and the excellent quality of products, these devices of the Kft. are really popular with the Hungarian market, making the company the market leader in this field within a short time.

The management of the company decided that they start trading the company’s products in the determining foreign markets in parallel with the trading activity in Hungary. In connection with this, they set the target to find foreign partners with whom long-term relationship based on mutual confidence could be established. Such business relationships were formed with companies in many European countries as well as the member states of the Community of Independent States (CIS), as a consequence of which the products of PAKOLE Kft. are available in 16 countries by today.

  • Switzerland
  • Germany
  • Austria
  • Finland
  • Slovenia
  • Czech Republic
  • Slovakia
  • Poland
  • Croatia
  • Serbia
  • Romania
  • Bulgaria
  • Russia
  • Belarus
  • Ukraine
  • Kazakhstan

However, development did not come to a halt at this point, and further considerable efforts have been made in the improvement of products and manufacturing technologies, as a result of which PAKOLE Kft. can be proud of the following achievements by today:

  • Five self-developed standard device types
    • ZENIT (tube radiant heater systems)
    • VARIANT (suction type tube radiant heaters)
    • GH (ceramic heaters)
    • LH (direct operation air heaters)
    • GTV (forced convection air heaters)
  • Import of other heating solutions used in industrial heating technology:
    • Hot water-operated wall-mounted air heaters
    • Standing solution block burner air heaters
    • Air curtains
    • Ceiling-mounted blow-off ventilators
    • Air conditioning techniques components
  • All of the company’s products have CE certification in accordance with the regulations.
  • In addition, the products have Russian, Belorussian, Ukrainian, Romanian, Serbian and Croatian licences.
  • The ISO system has been continuously developed since its introduction in 1997, as a consequence of which the company now has ISO 9001:2009 certification.
  • The Kft. constantly improves its product structure and the development of new products is in progress as well.
  • Moreover, new market opportunities are being persistently sought.

As time passed, the size of the company and the need for good arrangement made it necessary to change the form of enterprise and thus a complete reorganization was carried out in 2009, where PAKOLE Kft. was transformed into a parent company and reallocated the scopes of the subsidiaries’ duties:

  • PAKOLE Trade Kft. (Manufacturing, importing and trading of industrial heating appliances)
  • PAKOLE Gáztech Kft. (Importing and wholesale trade of gas industrial and other accessories and heating units)
  • PAKOLE RUS (subsidiary in Russia)
  • PAKOLE UKR (subsidiary in Ukraine)
  • PAKOLE ROM (subsidiary in Romania)

The future aim of the venture is to continue with the improvements and still remain one of the determining characters and market leaders in the field of industrial heating technology both in Hungary and Europe.
