Overview

Rettig ICC, short for Rettig Indoor Climate Comfort, is a European manufacturer of domestic heating systems, with household radiators forming the core of its business. The company is part of the Finnish Rettig Group and has been described as Europe's largest manufacturer of domestic heating systems. Its activities are organized around a portfolio of established heating brands and manufacturing or distribution operations in several European countries. The modern Rettig ICC organization was formed in 2003, following the expansion of the Rettig Group's heating activities through acquisitions. Earlier transactions included the purchase of Myson Radiators in the United Kingdom and Finimetal in France in 2000, followed by the acquisition of Vogel & Noot Wärmetechnik in 2002. These transactions brought together businesses with established positions in national radiator markets and created a broader European platform. The company's brand and operating portfolio has included Myson, Purmo, Vogel & Noot and Finimetal. Myson Radiators is a UK radiator manufacturer with a factory on the Team Valley estate in Gateshead and a distribution centre in County Durham. Rettig's UK activities have also included Purmo, identified in the reference material as the UK's fourth-largest radiator manufacturer, while Myson has been described as the country's second-largest radiator manufacturer. Rettig Ireland operates from Newcastle West and includes a valve factory. Rettig Germany has been associated with Vienenburg in Lower Saxony. Vogel & Noot is associated with Sankt Barbara im Mürztal in Austria, and Finimetal with Villepinte near Paris. Rettig ICC expanded beyond its traditional radiator portfolio with the acquisition of Emmeti of Italy in December 2015. Emmeti broadened the group's presence in indoor climate and heating-related products, although the available reference material does not provide a detailed breakdown of the acquired business's product lines or subsequent integration. Leadership has included Markus Lengauer, Neil MacPherson and Perttu Louhiluoto. Louhiluoto, a Finnish executive and former Metso director, became chief executive in January 2018, succeeding MacPherson. The company operates as a business within the privately held Rettig Group rather than as a separately listed public company. Detailed current financial data, a formal corporate website, exact headquarters information and a complete current executive roster are not established by the supplied sources.

History

Rettig ICC is the indoor-climate and heating business associated with the Finnish Rettig Group. Its principal activity is the manufacture and sale of domestic heating systems, especially radiators for residential and building applications. The business is presented as a major European radiator manufacturer and operates through a collection of national companies and established brands rather than through a single universally used consumer-facing name. The platform developed through a sequence of acquisitions. In 2000, Rettig bought Myson Radiators in the United Kingdom and Finimetal in France. Myson had been incorporated in the United Kingdom in March 1960 and operated a factory in Gateshead, on the Team Valley estate. It also maintained a UK distribution centre on the Drum Industrial Estate near Chester-le-Street in County Durham. The acquisition gave Rettig a significant position in the UK radiator market and brought the Myson name into its broader heating portfolio. Rettig made another important acquisition in 2002 when it bought Vogel & Noot Wärmetechnik. The business became associated with Vogel & Noot operations in Sankt Barbara im Mürztal, Austria. In 2003, Rettig ICC was formed, with the name representing Rettig Indoor Climate Comfort. The new organization brought together the group's indoor-climate and heating interests, including radiator manufacturing and related components. The company's operating footprint included Rettig Germany in Vienenburg in Lower Saxony and Rettig Ireland in Newcastle West, where the Irish operation included a valve factory. In the United Kingdom, Rettig's portfolio included both Myson and Purmo radiators. The supplied reference material identifies Myson as the second-largest radiator manufacturer in the UK market and Purmo as the fourth-largest. These descriptions indicate the importance of the group’s brands in national distribution channels, although no current market-share figures are available in the cited material. Rettig ICC continued its expansion in 2015 through the acquisition of Emmeti of Italy, completed in December. The transaction added an Italian business to the indoor-climate platform and broadened the group’s geographic and product base. The available source does not specify the purchase price, detailed transaction structure or the precise operational changes following the deal. Leadership during the documented period included Markus Lengauer, Neil MacPherson and Perttu Louhiluoto. MacPherson had previously served as chief executive after Lengauer, and Louhiluoto took over in January 2018. Louhiluoto is Finnish and had previously been a director of Metso. The company remains part of the larger Rettig Group. Because the supplied reference material is principally an encyclopedia entry, it does not establish detailed current ownership, financial performance, headquarters, website information or a complete list of present-day subsidiaries and executives.
