Description of Business
The genesis of Zenova Group Plc (the “Company”) was founded in January 2020, bringing cutting edge innovation to the world of fire safety and insulation. Aimed at revolutionizing a sector stagnant for over fifty years, the technical team devised the initial concepts for Zenova's innovative product line, starting with Zenova FP fire paint and Zenova FX fire extinguishing fluid. These products, characterized by their effectiveness, ease of use, eco-friendliness, and non-toxicity, laid the foundation for the Zenova brand.
The first two ground-breaking fire protection products caught the attention of Dr Etrur Albani. Realising the far-reaching benefits of the innovation behind the Zenova products, he joined the company and helped it to expand into the insulation space, leading to the development of the insulating paint and render, Zenova IP and Zenova IR.
The growing need for the Zenova products in the fire protection and insulation industry was immediately apparent. With the ever-increasing scrutiny facing the fire prevention sector, certification was crucial to meet this interest from the highly regulated world of building safety and so in December 2020, Zenova began the process of gaining global certification for its products via independent accredited lab testing.
Zenova has grown into a company with the latest technology available in fire safety and thermal insulation, offering products that save on many levels – life, property, & energy.
