This plant is located in Rybnik, Silesia in South Western Poland . With the opening of the forth high speed panel lines in May 2008, the Rybnik plant is now achieving an average output of 10,000 radiators per day and is not just the largest contributor to the Rettig 33mm platform but has become the single largest plant within Rettig ICC. The manufacturing site itself covers 75,000 sq. meters of terrain including 40,000 sq. meters of production halls, warehouses and administration buildings. Today, there are four welding lines, two painting and packaging lines in Rybnik. Another production hall is home to the manufacture of insulation for underfloor heating. But it was not always like this in Rybnik. Production of panel radiators began here at the beginning of 1970 in another political and historical era. Radiator manufacturing was effectively a “department” of a large steel company founded in the middle of XVIII century. In 1993 this “department” was bought by Oy Rettig Ab who transferred the plant to the Rettig Heating division and production of Purmo radiators was able to start one year later . Of course investments have grown substantially over the years with the addition of new capacity and faster lines. The last investment program included the forth LEAS lines and was partly covered by grants received from the European Union. Today, the Rybnik plant exports product to all corners of Eastern and Western Europe together with the biggest Asian markets such as China. The product range manufactured is one of the broadest and covers compact, integrated and flat-fronted Purmo panel radiators together with underfloor heating. Quality remains the highest priority at all times within the production and distribution process. This requirement covers the quality of selected materials, process technologies and detailed testing procedures. Maintenance of the highest quality standards has enabled certification to ISO 9001 and ISO14001 and also males possible a 10 year guarantee for Purmo products. In fact, the quality, reliability and efficiency of the Rybnik plant provided a backbone to the development of the steel panel market in Poland, whereby the Purmo brand has not just become the market leader in Poland but also a leading force throughout the whole of Eastern Europe. In 2010, manufacturing will once again be extended Rybnik with the planned in-house production of certain components for Purmo radiators.
