Celebrating the Kanthal story

What would modern society be like without electric heating technology? Looking back at 90 years in the heating business, we feel proud that our products and solutions have been part in shaping the industry and the society as we know it today. Join us on a tour through the past and into the future!

The stunning development we have seen since the 1930s would not have happened without new ideas, research and innovative products and solutions. Kanthal was first built on the innovative Kanthal® FeCrAl alloy that changed how electric heating could be used. Since then, we have continued to launch new materials and solutions for heating and heat treatment to the market.
