Zenova SEE Commences Production of Zenova CS Fire Suppression Units in Albania

Zenova Group PLC (AIM: ZED), a leading provider of innovative fire safety and heat management solutions, is pleased to announce that its joint venture, Zenova SEE Sh.p.k ("Zenova SEE"), as previously announced on 14 April 2025 and 13 May 2025, has commenced full-scale production and initial sales of the Zenova CS ceiling-mounted fire suppression unit at its newly commissioned manufacturing facility in Albania.

This milestone marks a significant step forward in Zenova's strategy to establish localised manufacturing across the EMEA region, leveraging strategic partnerships to meet the growing demand for its advanced fire safety technologies. It also highlights the rapid pace at which the Group has brought the new facility online and into production to fulfil both existing orders and increasing demand.

The facility, operated under Zenova SEE-a joint venture between Zenova and local partners in South-Eastern Europe-will serve as a regional hub, supplying Zenova CS units across the Balkans and wider European markets. Initial production is fully aligned with Zenova's stringent quality assurance protocols, with first deliveries expected in Q3 2025.

The Zenova CS is a self-contained, ceiling-mounted fire suppression unit designed to detect and extinguish fires automatically. It utilises Zenova's proprietary, non-toxic fire suppression agent, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial settings where passive fire protection is essential.

Thomas Melchior, CEO of Zenova Group PLC, commented:

"Commencing production in Albania through Zenova SEE is an important step in scaling our manufacturing footprint while aligning with our strategy of embedding Zenova solutions in high-growth regions. This initiative enables faster deployment and lower logistics costs while empowering regional stakeholders to promote fire safety innovation."

About Zenova Group PLC

Zenova Group PLC specializes in the development and supply of advanced fire safety and temperature management technologies for industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. Its product portfolio includes the Zenova FP fire protection paint, Zenova IP thermal insulation paint, and the Zenova FX series of fire extinguishers, all engineered to meet the highest safety and efficiency standards in the industry. The product range is applicable to industrial, commercial, and residential markets.

Zenova FP, fire protection paint

A water based, fire protection paint (also known as a 'thermofoaming' or 'intumescent' paint), which can be used on any surface and colour matched to any colour. When exposed to heat or flames, the paint expands and creates a solid foam-like crust which will not burn and insulates the surface it is painted on. This prevents surfaces from catching fire and stops fire spreading. It has been tested by global fire industry experts and complies with UK building regulations and the latest UK and European fire safety standards.

Zenova IP, thermal insulation paint

A thermal insulation paint embeds the most modern insulating technology in a thermos-like ultra-thin layer. It saves energy by increasing the thermal insulation level in commercial and residential buildings. Solar heat can increase the temperature within a building by 75% to 90%. Zenova IP has been independently tested and validated to deflect, absorb and dissipate up to 75% of this heat, thereby reducing the inside temperature by up to 45%. Suitable for both exterior and interior, on any type of surface

Zenova IR, thermal insulation render

Zenova IR is a ready mixed insulation render that can be applied to internal and external walls in commercial and residential buildings to provide immediate insulation benefits and can be colour matched to any colour.

Zenova FX, fire extinguishers

A fire extinguisher like no other. It puts out class A, B, F and electrical fires fully tested against European EN3 as well as British standards. Available in 6 and 9 litre sizes.

Zenova FX500, aerosol fire extinguisher

The Zenova FX500 is a high-performance handheld fire extinguisher that is tested by independent experts and adheres to the highest industry standards. Safe for use on any type of fire the Zenova FX500 reduces the risk of reignition. The Zenova FX 500 is quick, easy and safe to operated and has been tested to BS6165 standard.

Zenova CS, automatic ceiling sprinklers

The Zenova CS provides ceiling-mounted fire protection for new builds and can be easily retrofitted into any existing environment to address all types of fire risks

Zenova WB, wildfire barrier

A wildfire barrier fluid (applied via spray wands or aerial drops), which provides a virtual barrier where fire simply will not burn. Repeated tests on a variety of extremely dry wildfire fuels (grasses, hays, brush) demonstrates the incredible fire resistance Zenova WB provides, while remaining viable after application for30+ days in dry conditions.
