Ariston Group

Thank you, Mr. Francesco Merloni! Mr. Francesco Merloni, Honorary Chairman of Ariston Group, passed away on October 1st, at the age of ninety-nine in his home in Fabriano, surrounded by his loved ones. An entrepreneur and recipient of the Italian Order of Merit for Labour, Francesco Merloni was a central figure in Italian industry. Building upon the legacy of his father, he dedicated his life to the international expansion of the family business. With his visionary leadership and unwavering belief in the future, he championed a business model that blended global competitiveness, local commitment, and social responsibility. In addition to his business achievements, Francesco Merloni had a distinguished political career. He served as a member of the Italian Parliament for seven terms, from 1972 to 2001, and held the position of Minister of Public Works in the Amato and Ciampi governments from 1992 to 1994. His vision, dedication and passion left an indelible mark. Everyone at Ariston Group will deeply feel his absence, and their thoughts are with his son Paolo, Ariston Group Executive Chairman, and the rest of his family.

#Heatpumps are confirmed as a key lever in Europe's strategy to decarbonize #buildings, and Ariston Group is focusing on research and development to stay at the forefront of industry evolution. We have pioneered the use of #naturalrefrigerants, and our solutions stand out not only for their superior #performance but also for their exceptional #quietness. How do we achieve this? In our laboratories, highly skilled professionals leverage advanced technical infrastructure, including semi-anechoic rooms for precise measurement of noise levels and sound quality produced by heat pumps. We also analyze sound direction, emitted vibrations, and the characteristics of various materials. Thanks to our talented #people and robust #resources, we aim to exceed our customers' expectations for comfort while actively contributing to the global energy transition. #SustainableComfortForEveryone #OurSolutions #ResearchAndDevelopment

In line with our commitment to consolidating our #globaloperations, we are excited to announce that our new logistics center in Siegenburg, Germany, has officially opened its doors. Located near our Mainburg facility, the new site spans an area of 52,000 square meters, with 24,000 square meters of covered space. It leverages an advanced warehouse management system and a new transport planning tool, further enhancing process transparency and ensuring the best possible service for our customers. While the center has been up and running since August, it is expected to reach full capacity by mid-2025. Cheers to another key milestone on our journey to strengthen our operations across the entire #valuechain! #sustainablecomfortforeveryone #ouroperations #ourcustomers

Ariston Group operates in Mexico through #Calorex, a leading brand in the local water heating market for over 75 years. At the Expo Nacional Ferretera 2024 in Guadalajara, Calorex showcased its range of high-quality, energy-efficient solutions and services designed for Mexican families. Our brand is renowned for its extensive portfolio, product durability, and robust after-sales network.

In our R&D laboratories, we work relentlessly to strengthen our portfolio of solutions. As renewable heating technologies are critical for achieving #buildingdecarbonization, we have focused on innovating and expanding our #heatpump range in line with medium- and long-term projections. We leverage climatic chambers to analyze performance under various indoor and outdoor conditions, including air temperature, relative humidity, and water temperature, ensuring our products meet the highest standards of #performance and #reliability. Additionally, we are equipped with a snow room that allows heat pump testing in extreme climatic conditions, with outdoor air temperatures as low as -20°C and humidity levels up to 100%. This facility can recreate heavy snowfall and fog, simulating real-world installation scenarios. Committed to #excellence, we continue to advance our #productroadmap.

We are thrilled to announce that our new Customers Satisfaction Program is live! #Feedback is key to enhancing our ability to exceed our #customers expectations. Building on this conviction, we capitalize on feedback from our stakeholders – including installers, service centers, planners, and end-users – to enhance customer proximity and deliver excellent, tailored solutions and services. We leverage both relational surveys – measuring and tracking key KPIs over time, such as NPS, CES, and CSAT – as well as transactional surveys – following up on technical support calls, training sessions, or after-sales extraordinary maintenance interventions – to timely intercept our customers’ level of satisfaction and effectively turn their opinions into action. Customer proximity will continue to be a pillar of our #sustainabledevelopment strategy. As the pilot program was launched in Italy, the international roll-out is set for 2025. #sustainablecomfortforeveryone #ourcustomers #beyondcustomerproximity #roadto100
