Tulikivi signed an agreement with the Hagos cooperative on the distribution of the Kermansavi collection in Germany and Austria. As part of its growth strategy, Tulikivi has updated its ceramic Kermansavi collection to meet the requirements of the Central European export markets. The ceramic fireplaces, made of 80% recycled material, now meet the requirements of Central European consumers regarding design and usage habits and the emission and efficiency requirements of the new Ecodesign Directive.

The agreement is strategically important because it opens an export channel for Tulikivi's ceramic products to one of the most important European fireplace markets. The German fireplace market is expected to develop favourably in the coming years due to legislation requiring that old fireplaces be replaced with new ones that meet the new emissions regulations.
