The Danish design radiator WE WERE HERE YESTERDAY Hudevad Radiatorfabrik was established in 1936 in a small town danish town Hudevad but was founded as a blacksmith way back in 1897. Our Plan radiator was produced for the very first time in 1938 and has been one of the building blocks for all future Hudevad radiators. The sturdy feel and the unmistakable Hudevad look have not changed much over the years and is a sign of the proud and dedicated craftsmanship that has always been a part of who we are. In 2005, Hudevad was bought by Denmark’s largest radiator manufacturer - Ribe Jernindustri - and moved from Hudevad to Ribe. Hudevad continued as a separate design brand under Ribe Jernindustri. WE ARE HERE TODAY Ribe Jernindustri closed in 2018 and Hudevad was sold to British Stelrad Radiator Group. Focus on profitability, streamlining and production optimization is a main concern to Stelrad Radiator Group and therefore new production facilities and new production methods was introduced in 2020. Today the majority of Hudevad radiators are produced in Great Britain. In October 2020 Hudevad Radiator Design moved from Ribe to Kolding, where new offices, a large warehouse and a custom Hudevad production was inaugurated. WE ARE HERE TOMORROW The move of our production meant rethinking the old Hudevad designs to ensure that Hudevad still meets tomorrows heating demands and that quality, form and function and the special Hudevad ”feel” is still there. It is important that the feel and the overall expression of the Hudevad radiator remains the same even though production methods change, and some models get a slightly different look. The large investments in production, warehouse and offices are part of the Hudevad journey going forward and ensures that our design radiators will also be here tomorrow. Webpages: www.hudevad.com
