30 Years of Successful Work

ROMOTOP, Leading European Manufacturer

of Fireplace Stoves and Inserts

Over a million homes around the world have Romotop products in them, which serves proof of

the company’s hard work and dedication. Romotop’s history dates 30 years back to 1992. Its

headquarters and manufacturing facility are located in the Czech Republic - in the Moravian-Sileasian

town of Suchdol nad Odrou. Their fireplace stoves and inserts attract customers through their

alluring design, high build quality and innovative solutions of wood burning.

The founder’s original vision

The purely bred Czech company

ROMOTOP, spol. s.r.o. was founded in

the summer of 1992 thanks to the vision

and courage of a man named Josef Hein,

who sensed a great potential in the field

of fireplace stoves. He got to work right

away with a group comprised of other

enthusiasts. It was a time when the

modern conception of fireplace stoves was

only starting to blossom. From the very

beginning Romotop focused itself on

the western market. Soon enough their

fireplace stove designs began to gain

traction in the Czech Republic, then

Slovakia, followed by Poland and many

others. Currently, the company supplies

their products to over 50 countries globally.

‘We love technology and

“innovation,

and, at this

point, since we are among our

market’s leaders in the European

market, we always try to push

our field of fireplace stoves and

inserts to the next level,’ Ing.

Josef Hein, founder and owner

of Romotop, said.

European leader

The quaint workshop in Suchdol nad

Odrou with a limited production capacity

quickly developed into a business that

makes use of modern technologies, and

has great construction and business

potential. The company also maintains

a strong ethic of constantly perfecting

their products and providing them at

acceptable prices. Products that leave the

facility therefore have an excellent quality

to price to performance ratio, which

the customers are very fond of. Romotop

is now among the leaders in its field in

the European market.

“

Our customers mainly expect

to be able to rely on their

fireplace or stove whenever

they need it, no matter what.

”

Romotop as an innovator

Over the years, an innovative focused

team was formed within the company,

and it was their job to come up with

new practical solutions. They focus

on designing combustion chambers,

subsequent

gas

outlets,

burning

management

systems,

and

other

important functional components of the

fireplace stoves. All of their designs aim

to stand above the competition while still

meeting strict ecological limits. Customers

of the modern day not only look for

products that are aesthetically pleasing,

but also ones that are highly functional

and provide them with the certainty that,

no matter what happens, their fireplace or

stove can always be relied on.

“

Ecology is more than

just a topic to discuss for

producers in the Moravian-Silesian Region, for us, it is

a commitment. The stoves

and fireplaces made by

Romotop meet all of the strict

environmental guidelines

and norms set by the EU.

By doing this, they help

with the preservation of

our environment and aid in

the promotion and usage of

natural energy sources.

”

Well earned awards

Romotop fireplace stoves received

a series of significant awards. One of

their biggest achievements was receiving

the platinum award in the USA based

ADEX competition. Another one of their

accomplishments was earning second place

in the prestigious Product – technologies of

the year 2012 competition for their design

and the technologies they made use of.

Romotop also holds the Czech Superbrands

award for the years of 2016, 2019 and 2020.

Establishment of traditional ceramic tile

production

The company’s development eventually

led to their expansion towards providing

fireplace stoves featuring ceramic tiles.

Soon after that the company got the idea

to establish their own traditional brand of

ceramic tiles, under the name HEIN. Ever

since then, all Romotop fireplace stoves

that feature a ceramic lining make use of

tiles made by their own sister company.

The Heipark Tošovice sports resort

Ing. Josef Hein is a passionate skier, and

opening his own ski slope that would be

close to his house was a dream of his for

a long time. Mr. Hein therefore eventually

decided to go through with this dream

and began constructing a small ski resort

near his place of residence. The originally

modest plan, however, soon developed

into an entire winter sports resort. Due

to a constant influx of new ideas and

nonstop development, Heipark now also

features sports activities, entertainment

and relaxation options for any season.

The resort is nestled in a valley among the

hilltops of Odry, which further adds to the

experience making it a perfect place for

families with children, school trips, as well

as company and private events.
