The Fenix trading group was founded after the Velvet Revolution in 1990 as one of the first private companies in the Czech Republic. The founding member was the manufacturing company Fenix s.r.o., and the first products made by the company were the best-selling ECOSUN electric radiant heating panels. With the growth in market demand for these products more followed – ECOFLEX electric convectors, ECOFLOOR heating cables and mats and ECOFILM heating foils, including heating system regulation and a wide range of accessory products. Dynamic growth required the widening of the company’s structure and in order to maintain maximum flexibility the form of a holding company was chosen, with individual and independent members. Today, the holding company is composed of ten trading companies and is one of the largest European manufacturers of surface electric heating systems – exporting its products to more than 60 countries across 4 continents. Fenix has been a totally Czech company for the whole of its existence, without any form of foreign involvement, although it now incorporates six companies with headquarters outside the Czech Republic. From 1997 the FENIX s.r.o. manufacturing company has been the holder of an ISO certificate for quality management systems, which it has successfully renewed over regular three-year cycles. The last recertification audit took place in October 2015 according to the requirements of the ISO 9001:2008 norm, on the basis of which a new certificate was awarded.
