Second Slovak Gold Medal for Korad radiator
Last week was especially successful for the Korad plus radiator produced by U. S. Steel Kosice. Right after this product was shown at the 13th edition of the annual international trade fair for central heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, measuring, regulating, sanitary and ecological equipment AQUA-THERM in Prague, catching the attention of the assessment committee from the Design Center of the Czech Republic, who nominated the panel radiator for the Outstanding Product of 2007 award, it then so impressed the notoriously strict committee from the Slovak Gold Foundation that they awarded it the Slovak Gold Medal and Certificate. This is the second time this panel radiator made at the Secondary Metallurgical Products Division has gained this prestigious award. On the same occasion, the Slovak Gold Exclusive Certificate was awarded to Kosice-Saca a.s. 1st Private Hospital, making it the first health-care institution in Slovakia to gain this Certificate.
