PRESS RELEASE FERNOX: 50 YEARS OF INNOVATION Fernox turns 50 in 2014 and will be marking its five decades as a pioneering force in the heating industry with a year-long campaign; celebrating the valuable contribution it has made to shaping the sector and educating the market on the importance of chemical water treatment. Fernox was the world’s first chemical water treatment company and was born from a light bulb

moment by German engineer Peter Muetzel. Since then, the company’s on-going commitment

to research and development has seen it grow to become a global leader in water treatment

products and equipment, with a worldwide network of the industry’s largest, purpose built

facilities and a team of 58 dedicated scientists from different disciplines ranging from chemistry

to mechanical engineering - the majority of whom are PhD qualified and experts in their field.

It is this breath of knowledge that has enabled Fernox to bring to

market game-changing products, such as Central Heating Protector

MB-1, first launched in 1983 and still extremely popular today.

Furthermore, Fernox has been first to market with innovative products

such as concentrated products, superconcentrate gels and

powerflushing machines to the first magnetic filter - the Fernox Boiler

Buddy. The success of which led to the development of the award -

winning TF1 Total Filter, which uses hydrocyclonic and magnetic action

to remove contaminants from central heating system water. The 15%

fuel saving and carbon saving benefits of its Fernox Cleaner F3 and Protector F1 products have

even been verified by the Carbon Trust since 2011.

As well as traditional systems, Fernox has developed a whole new generation of chemical water

treatments for renewable technologies as well as environmentally friendly formulations.

In its 50th anniversary year, 2014 is shaping up to be more exciting than ever for Fernox, with

the company planning a host of promotions, competitions and events including a grand prize

draw to win £50,000 worth of heating products (subject to usual terms and conditions). This is

the largest ever promotional prize offered in the plumbing and heating sector.

“We are delighted to be celebrating our 50 year anniversary” commented Ernie McDonald,

Director at Fernox. “We are already looking to the future, with an ambitious programme of

product development centered on an increased focus on energy saving, to ensure our trusted

brand remains the market leader for the next 50 years. 2014 will be a year of celebration and

innovation.”
