Our Story 

(And the reason why we develop the Adventure Boil-Grill)

Why do we exist?

The survival of other species in the environment brings many benefits to humans. However, in recent decades, we - the homo sapiens have been described as a dangerous species that exploited natural resources and destroyed other species’ lives to satisfy our needs.

We believe that we don’t need to sacrifice the environment for our convenience. There are many ways that enable people to live comfortably and happily while creating benefits for the environment's well-being. For that belief, we develop and supply to the market sustainable energy equipment that are convenient, easy to use, energy-efficient, durable, and at the same time good for the environment. We believe in a future where everyone, regardless of their economic status, can afford useful equipment that helps nurture their surroundings while they are enjoying their moment of happiness. At EnergiTek, we don't claim to be a successful manufacturer or trader. We define ourselves as the energy-keepers for people's joyful gathering moment. Our success should be the frequency of happy moments occurring in our customers' lives. Though it is hard to measure, we believe that the Adventure Boil-Grill, and its upcoming sisters, will bring that feeling to more and more people, making our world a happier place to live.

We also believe that Kindness is the most powerful and wonderful source of motivation to promote human development, and at the same time make this planet a better place to live. So, in addition to focusing on product development, we strive to build a good organization where Kindness is the root value for all decisions and acts. That will be a place, where:

- All individuals care for and support each other; 

- Only creativity is encouraged to break all the limits, while other resources are limited within the “enough” benchmark. In other words, the company avoids all kinds of waste: natural resources waste, excessive fuel consumption, waste of human resources in unessential tasks, etc.

- Every person in the company has the opportunity and motivation to learn every day;

- The business and its employees are always honest with customers.

We believe that to spread kindness and happiness, we will have the motivation to develop new products as well as have the faith to overcome tough times.

Why did we start with a BBQ grill?

The happy moment of customers is what we care about the most. But the “moment of happiness” itself is something that we cannot produce, nor sell. True happiness must originate from within each person: soul, thinking, and true feelings. However, people can build happiness by giving and receiving love, care, and connection. When people connect, they can create happiness together. We started with the BBQ grill product with a quite simple thought that a little warmth and delicious food will make it easier for people to come together, thereby making it easier for them to feel more connected to each other and create happy moments together. Therefore, we design a compact, portable, easy-to-use, and nature-friendly grill (the by-product of the grill can also be used as a soil amendment to nurture plants), so that our users can together create happy moments, anywhere, anytime.

Why did we name the product Adventure Boil-Grill?

The Adventure Boil-Grill is named after the founder's personal story. 

Dated back in 2017, Mr. Minh Hai Nguyen was granted an invitation from the Danish Business Authority to come to Denmark and to open a new start-up under the Start-up Denmark Scheme. It was a wonderful opportunity for him, but also a hard decision. The invitation came at the same time as his first child was born. His wife had a decent job as a Project Manager for international development projects, which she loved doing every day and was always proud of. His Vietnam-based company, where he worked with an excellent team, had many potential opportunities for further development in the renewable energy sector. However, with a strong learning attitude and a great aspiration to make sustainable energy accessible in everyone's daily life, he decided to grab the chance and to take a new adventure with his family. It was almost four years since their first steps on this beautiful adventure. Thanks to it, they have learned a lot, developed into better people, and opened their minds to many interesting insights. Most of all, they have received valuable support from many new friends and partners in Denmark: both good advice and new knowledge, both financially and psychologically. 

They could not be that far without the help from other people, who lifted them up in the most critical times, gave them great encouragement, trusted them enough to give them opportunities, and believed in their potential. 

They might not have realized their product without the great support from their family and teams in Vietnam. Developing a physical product is challenging in terms of equipment, capital, and countless experiments. After having registered the first patent in Denmark, it took their team a year to nail a commercial version for the Danish grill market. Without the support from his close team in Vietnam, Hai must have encountered much more difficulties in developing his idea, especially under the pressure of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Last but not the least, the adventure could not be that fast without the financial support from the Danish Innovation Fund and other supportive service providers. 

They realized that the Adventure Boil-Grill is not only to make fire for cooking, but it also gathers people, connects them, and strengthens their relationships. At the end of the day, everyone is on his/her own adventure in life, where he/she needs people around, needs friends, family, and colleagues. Therefore, they named their grill "Adventure Boil-Grill" to remind people any time they go on a picnic or grill with their beloved ones that: "Enjoy this adventure together".

We, who have worked hard in the Adventure Boil-Grill team, discovered our happiness along our journey and in the moments without the presence of money. During the hardest days and the most critical times, we sat together by the fire, cooked some food, told each other about our dreams, and promised not to give up. We believe that people can live comfortably while taking care of the environment without having to spend too much money. And we were determined to make that happen. We realized that the life we ​​are going through is an exciting adventure, with no maps, no markers, and no predecessors. That adventure leads us from discovery to discovery about ourselves, people, life, and so many new things. We hope that the Adventure Boil-Grill product can also help other people create moments of complete happiness with their companions in their adventure. For the EnergiTek team, Adventure Boil-Grill is therefore a milestone as well as a representative of their vibe: Happiness is here, when we are together!
