Our History

A history of innovation.

From the founding of the company in 1731 to the present day: Buderus started by manufacturing hobs and stove plates. This was followed by sophisticated ovens and the company then incorporated the use of new technologies, such as condensing technology. Today, Buderus is a system expert and is dedicated to the development of innovative system solutions in heating and HVAC technology.
