INNOVATION
MCZ has launched several innovative patents, such as Active®, an intelligent technology that allows a product to adapt to any type of pellet and to work remotely via smartphone or tablet, Comfort Air®, a ducting system that allows several rooms to be heated using a single product, and Maestro, an integrated microcomputer that dialogues with the smartphone thus further improving the performances of the pellet stove.
The latest technology developed by MCZ is Core, launched in 2020 and covered by a patented application; it is the result of extensive research aimed at optimising combustion from three points of view: aesthetics, comfort and the environment.
SUSTAINABILITY
The attention MCZ pays to the environment translates into products designed to comply with the most stringent European environmental standards.
Since 2016, for example, MCZ products are already in compliance with Ecodesign, a very strict regulation on emissions into the atmosphere which will come into force in 2022 and will certainly mark a breakthrough for the industry.
DESIGN
A strong sensibility for aesthetics and design has allowed MCZ to set itself apart from its competitors, introducing a minimal look typical of Nordic tradition in the field of pellet and wood heating.
In 2011, the Toba stove by MCZ received the IF Design Award, a major recognition that shows that the company pays attention to increasingly demanding consumers who expect products to have a distinctive touch, even those intended for heating. Moreover, 2019 marked the start of the collaboration with important names in international design, such as Patricia Urquiola, Paola Navone and Michael Geldmacher, who were able to offer an alternative and original way of
interpreting the fire theme.
As for pellet technology, in the end, MCZ strives to achieve a more pleasant and natural flame that closely resembles a wood fire and capable of offering the same magic and heat.
