PROTHERM

Production

Protherm Production produces a wide range of boilers and hot water heating equipment. These include suspended and stationary, condensing and non-condensing boilers, electric boilers, electric water heaters for hot water preparation and indoor units of heat pumps. Products of the following brands are produced at the plant in Skalica:

The most modern electronic work processes are used in Protherm Production, which makes it relatively easy to assemble heating equipment on the production lines. The work process on LCD screens guides employees through the entire assembly process, in both text and visual form. This intelligent electronic system makes production easier and helps avoid errors. In the case of incorrect use of components, it alerts us and stops the assembly of the product on the line.

The production halls of the plant in Skalica are bright, clean and quiet spaces. The goal of Protherm Production is to become a green production facility, so it invests significant financial resources into ecological solutions, innovations and focuses on energy saving.

One of the most modern research and development centres in Europe is part of Protherm Production. The company can boast of a top-class research and development centre with powerful workstations, a modern laboratory and high-quality equipment. Members of the development team primarily contribute to innovations in current boilers and the introduction of new, more powerful modules. Ideas for new, more efficient products are born here, the design is optimised to improve quality while maintaining or reducing the price, taking into account new technologies and their implementation. In addition, existing boilers are further refined within the entire Vaillant group.

The main tasks of the research and development centre of the Protherm Production plant are the development of hydraulic modules for boilers, gas condensing and non-condensing boilers and electric boilers. We also find here the team of sustainable engineering (Sustaining Engineering) and the team of project and product management. The final form of the product is created thanks to the close cooperation of the development staff of the Protherm Production company with the developers from other companies in the group.

Recently, new departments have also been created within the research and development centre. One of them is the Intellectual Property Department, whose task is to register new patents. We have also expanded the group of simulation engineers, who are experts in CAE simulations.

The research and development centre currently has 63 employees. It also includes an expanded prototype workshop and a modern testing centre. What our developers design is assembled in the prototype workshop, tested in the laboratory and finally introduced into mass production.
