LM TEK will operate as an independent company, focusing on the development, production and sales of EK products. The reorganization is aimed at creating a more efficient business structure, which will allow the company to respond faster to market demands and develop new liquid cooling technologies in a more targeted manner. EK emphasizes that nothing will change for customers and partners: all warranties, service and support for products already sold will remain in full.
The restructuring will also help EK strengthen its position in the competitive environment. The company will continue to develop liquid cooling solutions for PCs, servers and workstations. In recent years, EK has established itself as a leader in this field, supplying both individual components for enthusiasts and complete cooling systems for businesses. The updated structure is designed to maintain EK’s leading position in the industry and accelerate the development of new technologies.
Last year, EK Water Blocks (EKWB) faced serious financial difficulties. According to employees and partners of the company, which were later confirmed by the head of EKWB, Edvard König, the manufacturer had accumulated months of debt and delays in salaries to staff and payments to suppliers. The root of the problems, apparently, was the excessively wide range of EKWB products. The high cost and large stocks of the latter created significant difficulties in their implementation. Several top managers left the company, and later it came under investigation and the blocking of bank accounts.
However, the changes in the company are not only related to strategic development, but also to the financial difficulties that EKWB faced last year. According to employees and partners of the company, and later its founder Edward König, the manufacturer had accumulated months of debt to staff and suppliers. The key reason for the crisis is said to be an excessively wide range of products: high costs and large warehouse stocks led to problems with their implementation. Several top managers left the company, and later EKWB faced the blocking of bank accounts and an investigation into its financial activities.
