Zenova Share Discussion Threads

Very unlikely that Zenova will have any demos at that event as its a decorating event and not a target audience.

Just four weeks to go to get a significant revenue target so will be hoping for a successful restarting of the Gracewood contract as that nearly meets the running costs now R&D costs have been slashed.

Of course we might yet see a distributors round up but probably at this stage not significant number but progress made

Rome wasn't built in a day, have patience PATT, nice of you to take an interest

Should be news on one of those potential contracts in the next two weeks

Very recent distribution arrivals.
Marine Scene
Fire protection
Fire dection shop
Kelkoo through amazon
Electricals online.
Also of note..a decorating show at Plymouth Argle f.c. thursday 7th november. 12pm to 6pm.
RABART our new west country distributor that has dulux centres as a partner is holding it. RABART has been training its staff up on zenova products.
Its the ideal place for a demo. Dulux already have a demo.. the ice in the half painted frying pan. It takes a long time to melt whilst the untreated turns to water very quickly.

Another distributor. Things are picking up.
Ceiling sprinkler. It attaches to the ceiling. Lots are hidden. And its not to my preference.
The flipside, i think it might only uze fx fluid. And it will do the least damage of all the sprinklers. And be the easiest to fit.

By the way Bob, are you on holiday given the time you were posting?

Hope we see a positive Gracewood update over the next couple of weeks as how often do Zenova update setbacks they usually just ignore them and hope the market forgets them but the share price does lie, the market always remembers. Even if it is an announcement that it has been discontinued due to planning permission problems it is largely in the price at this MC, a positive update should see increased volumes as well as an increasing share price.

I had heard awhile ago that Gracewood are still keen to use the product but if planning problems are overcome would need new sprayers as the old company was discharged from the contract, with the new directives on planning having been made by the new government I would hope we will hear that planning permission has been given.

A few positive updates would transform this share price

We know that no Zenova products are in the NHS as the supplier website does not include them.
We know that Gracewood contract of £200k through Drips and Sparks has not happened.
We also know that the University of Sheffield potential contract has not happened because they have a visible tendering system for all purchases above £50k.

Lots of the new distributors are great in the long term in that they are accumalative..however they will not have much impact on the rest of the remaining year. Just over one month.
Big volumes will.!! Sheffield university will have produced a much better second half. Added to albania orders and around 9k for the initial O.heap order.. there is around 110k here. The picture is getting rosier!!!!.
Zenova headcount is small and costs are being managed. The reduction in costs and the slow but rising online sales added to the larger contracts should be leading to reduced funding or not at all. Funding for growth being an exception.
Things have looked up after the gracewood setback. Any further positives should be added into the share price.
P.s. non of this includes Ecozenovs which is also growing. Orders will grow from a low base. The same as Romania and India.

patt: - Not sure you can review a product unless you have had a real accidental fire and used the product to put it out - rather than lighting some old paper or similar in a controlled situation - Therefore possibly of little value. Also if you are given something FREE highly likely you will say nice things about it.

[purchaseatthetop] 26/10/2024 12:57

Pug ugly. All 100 reviews are for free product.

[pugugly] 26/10/2024 12:49

patt- Interesting Thanks

However without opening an account virtually impossible to determine likely profitability for O Heap or our margin on sales to O Heap. .

fx500 Price £32.99 . Link for those who would like to check competition

Bobdown is very excited, still, about Zenova being at B@Q.

Actually anybody can sell on B@Q marketplace


Costs associated with selling on B&Q Marketplace

B&Q Marketplace charges sellers a standard subscription fee of £39 per month to have a presence on the platform, plus sellers will pay commission on any sales made on B&Q Marketplace.

Whilst sales commission fees for B&Q Marketplace are not published, a report from Mirakl that average marketplace commission rates for products in the DIY category are between 12% and 20%.

When it comes to shipping, sellers are responsible for arranging this and can choose their preferred courier for deliveries, this provides more control over fulfillment costs.

Fx fluid has nothing to do with what you have written.
The fx500 were the first deliveries in the middle of last year. Then the wait for full cerication began
Today was the last certification of all announced products. It looks bulky to me..they only show the nozzle end.
B and q online sales have not been announced nor the maritime chandler. Everything looks good apart from the 51k half year and gracewood the builder. Gracewood was 100k a month on average for 2 years..OUCH.!
Albania and sheffield university look to have already taken up the slack. The ceiling sprinkler, should be good in large kitchens. They can be retro fitted and look like a normal cylender..only posher. I expect they will be superiir to whats on the market. And university kitchens will not worry about the looks. It will be fire safety.
Progress..today. and more buy volume.
The demo video of the new sprinkler should be very good when it comes out. The competition will not like it..

Bobdown I do understand how significant a product this could be. Given "The sprinkler uses Zenova's industry-best fluid which addresses multiple fire causes, including cooking oil and LITHIUM BATTERIES, that ordinary water-based products cannot effectively extinguish."As I would guess Hitatchi Energy do. Especially given their Energy storage systems for storing energy from renewable sources such as solar and wind, use lithium-ion batteries "and are enshrouded by a fire protection system"For example.https://www.hitachienergy.com/news-and-events/features/2024/02/helping-to-keep-the-heat-on-in-rural-maryland"The storage system, one of two BESS projects BGE brought online in 2023, consists primarily of Hitachi Energy products and solutions, allowing for seamless connectivity. The system includes two battery containers that hold 48 racks of lithium-ion batteries, which store direct current (DC) energy and are enshrouded by a fire protection system. Adjacent to the batteries are four PS 1000 inverters, which convert DC to alternating current (AC) power. The project also includes a control system and two new distribution transformers."Not just Hitatchi Energy building Energy storage systems using lithium-ion batteries which need to be enshrouded by a fire protection system is it.ZED have just launched such a fire protection system which will comply with new EU regulations.

I think it isa Reach around….

[kemche] 25/10/2024 20:07

This is a huge non-rns.

[diku] 25/10/2024 18:00

Or the week after that...

[koti4] 25/10/2024 15:21

I understand that the original RNS was alot more bullish and promising than what was put out as the nomad went through it and toned it down, have no idea in what way it was more bullish but I will be expecting orders abit more quickly from this product than the speed that Barrier fluid orders have been received lol.

All in all a good day, now for a revenue update next week or the week after

[bobdown2] 25/10/2024 15:12

I think gracewood is contractual. What is happening at sheffield uni is anyones guess.
Does todays rns help the situaton
It might do. The rns today is understated.

[bobdown2] 25/10/2024 14:43

Volume is picking up. Maybe its a delayed response to todays news.
Read the rns it sounds promissing.

[diku] 25/10/2024 14:28

Aren't all these tests done in a controlled manner...
