25 FACTS

The 90’s are considered by many to be 'the crazy 90’s'. Catching breath after the previous economic system was a time of great opportunities in Poland. It took courage and vision to operate in this new system. We had both. We delivered autogas installations to garages, and let drivers save and enjoy their own "4 wheels". But what about the LPG installation when there is nowhere to refuel? We found a way - we dealt with gas distribution! We built refueling stations and supplied fuel to them. In the 90’s you could meet the tanks with our logo on the Polish roads!

Although today our company is located in Radom, we took our first steps in Antoniówka. A large part of our staff came from these regions and they have been working with us to this day. Let us add that "the company in Antoniówka" is a piece of our history. We will surprise you by saying that many people still say about us - "Ah yes, you are THAT company from Antoniówka!"?

How long have you been coming up with a name for your company? What were the circumstances of establishing your company? Several years ago, when we introduced our own brand of installations, we wanted to create a name that is easy to remember, easy to associate and, at the same time, universal, which will be adopted in every country the installation reaches. The name ZENIT was chosen. It was extremely quick and unanimous choice, it came up during a casual conversation.
- Commercial Director: Boss, what about ZENIT? It sounds good in Polish and English and is positively associated with watches ...
- The company owner: Why not? It will be ZENIT.
This is how our ZENIT was created. A simple, true and quite distant story now…

Can you hear this voice in navigation? In 2003, we saw this goal only on a paper map, because navigation was a luxury - such times. But most of all, we just… felt this goal. Bydgoszcz lies 370 km north-west of Antoniówka. It was the city where we opened our first branch in order to efficiently and quickly meet the needs of customers from this part of Poland. LPG fuel was becoming more and more popular among drivers, the autogas industry was developing dynamically, and we set ourselves next goals...The number of our representative offices and branches is gradually increasing on the map. We develop cooperation with distributors. Cities such as Częstochowa, Kielce, Kraków, Łódź, Olsztyn, Piotrków Trybunalski, Poznań, Rzeszów, Sosnowiec, Wrocław and Zielona Góra invariably play a particularly important role in building our position as a reliable business partner on the autogas market.

It is 2008. The popularity of autogas continues to grow, we have more and more orders, the team is getting bigger, we already have representative offices and branches in Poland. Small office and warehouse in Antoniówka ... are definitely not enough for us. In order to develop and meet your expectations - our customers - the owner of the company decides to build a new headquarters. Despite the global crisis starting in 2008, we look to the future with the belief that our products will help drivers survive difficult times and the autogas industry will gain new markets.

Jokingly speaking - of course the commander in chief - the owner. And who and with what length of service occupies an impressive second position? Ex aequo: the warehouse manager - Mirek and accountant - Ania. They have been with us since 1998. 23 years of work experience in one company is a rarity today! Such gems only at AG Centrum!

For that time, it has already been a cult car that can still be found on the road, but much more often at vintage car rallies. The first in our fleet was Polonez TRUCK. Its task was to transport gas tanks all over Poland, which is why we equipped it with a spacious trailer. And of course obilgatory with gas installation!

When creating the company, we knew that Poland is a very important market for us. At the same time, we made a vision of international cooperation and export of our products. We have built a well-coordinated team of the export department. We have crossed the border. Figuratively - it is an important and bold step in the company operation. Literally - we made the first sale outside Poland, to Ukraine. The Ukrainian market and trade relations with the distributor in this region are invariably strategic for us.

To begin with, let us aussume that the longest side of the box is 20 cm and this is the value we use for calculations. Keep in mind that the circumference of the Earth is 40 075 km. Hence, we need to line up over 200 mln of boxes one by one so as they could meet around the circumference! 200 375 000 pcs to be precise… We've probably just set a new goal. Will you help with the realization?

All car enthusiasts know it. It has been leading the way in Poland for years. Editors are known and appreciated in the world of automotive tests. There are no barriers for them, they are perfectly suited for editorial special missions, cars are their passion, they know almost everything about them. They conduct the tests independently, impartially and substantively. They do not give in to pressure, they write objectively - they work is not an advertising section! They are automotive journalists of the Auto Świat weekly magazine. Our ZENIT Direct installation was tested by Maciej Brzeziński, a long-time co-creator of the magazine. Until the last moment, we did not know how he assessed ZENIT. We waited for the Monday paper edition with bated breath. We breathed a sigh of relief only when we read in black and white the independent review and evaluation. ZENIT Direct got the highest score, that is 5+! The test result, later converted into the online edition, you can find here:

It is not Fiat Doblo. Not Fiat Ducato. Not Renault Master. Even though these are well known to you from our visits. ... A category B or C of a driving license was not enough to take this vehicle on a business trip. But with a C + E driving license - the road was open! Do you remember 2013? Year of diesel gas. It was the time when a powerful tractor unit joined our fleet. Many wanted to, but only a few lucky ones with required permissions could drive our Scania and do a slalom around the square in front of the warehouse.

The ZENIT Autogas installation is available in various parts of the world. These are more obvious and geographically closer to Poland, such as Bulgaria, Romania, Russia or Ukraine. But we are proud that ZENIT also pleases drivers in such distant places like Alaska, Australia, Mongolia and South Africa. Do not be surprised when you visit Alaska and find our ZENIT installation under the hood of a car!

Did you know that the people living in Radom had the opportunity to use ecological public transport thanks to our installation? ZENIT controller is the commander-in-chief of selected city buses powered by CNG fuel.

It was 7 years ago when you could have received such a SMS from us. By introducing our own brand of injectors to the offer, we wanted to convey their power and precision. Of course, in this important contemporary „clash of the titans” - Heracles and Hercules - the English-sounding Hercules won. He has been with us for over 7 years and still surprises with strength and endurance.

Before we officially introduced our own brand of injectors to the offer, they were a subject of of many demanding tests. We have equipped our own car fleet with them - from passenger cars to delivery ones. Of course, as many drivers, as many ways to treat a car. Such variable conditions of use were invaluable in validating the results of performance and endurance of the injectors. 12 months of tests on 10 vehicles, each of which reached an average of 5 000 km per month, gave us in total 600 000 km of comfortable and trouble-free ride. It is no wonder then that Hercules is a wise choice of thousands of drivers and installers.

Do you remember the program "Two drivers"? A close-knit duo of Kuba Bielak and Tomek Kuchar. Liked and popular in Poland among recipients. These two strong personalities decided to cooperate not only with TVN, but also with us. Both men tested the ZENIT installation, which does not escape the attention of drivers looking for the best LPG installation for their car. Kuba Bielak – an automotive journalist and founder of his own "Safe Driving Academy", checked how the ZENIT Blue Box works in the popular Toyota Avensis. Tomek Kuchar, an automotive journalist, rally and rallycross driver, including the Polish Rallycross Champion, tested the ZENIT Direct installation in Skoda Superb with direct gasoline injection. Both tests are available on our YT channel: ZENIT Blue Box installation test and ZENIT Direct installation test

The iconic Ford Crown Victoria was tested for compliance of our installation with the requirements of the EPA norm. How did the tests go? Let’s just add that the tests had positive results. Plus for ZENIT!

Short and to the point:

• Ferrari F430, 4.3 engine
• Bentley Continental (GTC), 6.0 engine
• Maserati Spyder, 4.2 engine

They move on Belgian roads and they are exemplary. The TOP3 presented by us was installed by our distributor in Belgium, "AGS Auto Gas Systemen". What is your TOP3?

Before the pandemic, technical and product stationary trainings enjoyed great popularity. We conducted them in various cities around the world. In training rooms, restaurants, garages, sometimes even outdoors. Trainers from the technical department, when asked about the most interesting and comfortable place where they shared their knowledge about autogas and the ZENIT installation, unanimously stated that it was the "PGE Narodowy" National Stadium in Warsaw.

How high is the Eiffel Tower? Google suggests: 324 m.

How high is the Twister filter? The product card on our website www.agcentrum.pl/img/pl-karta-produktu-twister.pdf suggests: 10 cm

Math suggests: 1 meter = 10 Twisters. 10 Twisters x 324 meters = 3 240 pcs. A few ? A lot? Decide yourself. Who knows ... maybe at the next training, in a joint group, we will build a TWISTER Tower? We only suggest that the construction should be placed horizontally, not vertically;)!

… This is a product that you know very well. It is a product from the "electronics" category, selected in the pandemic 2020 year by nearly 20 000 drivers. The number 1 in sale was the ZENIT Blue Box. The choice of both drivers and you, the installers. And we want to add that it is simply a GOOD CHOICE!

When we think of a taxi, we often think of a gas-powered car, because. There are two schools. One says that the wealthy don't count money. The second argues the opposite - that the rich are wealthy precisely because they count money. We are closer to the second. We will even add that they can count very well and invest wisely. An example is the owner of the Radom company TAXI - Soowa TAXI. He chose hybrid cars for a fleet - by definition they are economical. When planning the company's development, he knew the scale of savings he would achieve by installing an LPG installation in his fleet. What brand of installation he chose and what financial savings he generated (not to mention ecological ones...) after driving the first million of kilometers, you will find out from an interview on the ZACHAR OFF YouTube channel.

We believe that even small actions of companies are important for the surrounding world. Therefore, over the years, we undertake various initiatives aimed at caring for the environment and the planet. As a manufacturer of ecological automotive LPG & CNG autogas installations, we provide globally an opportunity for easy care for the environment to drivers from all over the world. Being aware of the number of installations we distribute - domestically and abroad - in 2017 we went a step further. We decided unanimously to change the packaging of our brands to more ECO. Gray cardboard in combination with black paint is definitely more Earth-friendly than colorful versions of packaging that finally end up in the trash anyway…. This is not the end. Successively, we changed the heating of the office and warehouse from coal to gas. In addition, we resigned from purchasing water in plastic bottles. Instead, we modified the water installation by using appropriate filters, thanks to which we drink tap water without fear and with taste. We are convinced that changes start from ourselves, therefore we remain open to being an environmentally friendly and socially responsible company.

Those that accompany us include openness to people, which is why we support many social initiatives in various aspects. One of the examples is The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity – we funded installation components for assembly. Another one is Noble Gift – we provided our cars to help in delivery of packages with gifts to families. Next, The Children's Cancer Foundation – we bought Christmas cards. My Future Foundation – we shared business experience and created motivation of young people. An orphanage in Radom, we contributed to the collection of food and basic necessities. This is only part of our activities. We will add that #ZENITTeam is a group of people who is mindful of others in their everyday lives. And how much kindness and helpfulness each employee of our team shows towards other people, only they know….

Probably the first thing you thought when you saw '2046' was 'how old will I be then?' The last of the curiosities is, in fact, a place for reflection. Where will we be in 5, 10 or the next 25 years? What is the future of autogas in Poland and in the world? The pandemic has shown that not everything can be planned and predicted. That is why we focus on taking care of our mutual relations and we make every effort to ensure long lasting and satisfactory cooperation between us. Thank you for being with us!
