Kiturami Co., Ltd. (CEO Kim Hak-soo) announced on the 29th that Kiturami Boiler ranked No. 1 in the Residential Boiler category for the 10th consecutive year in the “2026 Korea Brand Recommendation Index (KBRI)” survey conducted by the Korea Management Association Consulting (KMAC).

The Korea Brand Recommendation Index (KBRI) is an award program that designates the No. 1 brand for each industry category based on surveys of consumers’ interest in major products and services and willingness to recommend them. This year, the survey targeted 255 brands from a total of 64 industries in Korea.

The Comprehensive Recommendation Index is calculated by adding the “Customer Index”—which measures consumers’ willingness to recommend a brand through 1-on-1 face-to-face interviews—and the “Social Index,” which analyzes positive and negative indicators from online sources such as social media and online communities. Kiturami Boiler outperformed the No. 2 (44.9 points) and No. 3 (36.7 points) brands with a score of 57.8 points, maintaining its position as the most recommended brand in the Residential Boiler category for the 10th consecutive year.

Kiturami is enhancing the overall user experience with residential boilers through new products that integrate artificial intelligence (AI) with its 60 years of heating technology as well as maintenance services that extend beyond installation.

“We will help Korean households enjoy a warm, comfortable everyday life by living up to the expectations of various customers and evolving lifestyles based on 60 years of heating technology,” a representative of Kiturami Boiler said.
