NIBE of Sweden
Living in harmony with nature
The Swedes have a long and impressive track record of clever,
money-saving innovations that use resources sparingly. The sim-
ple reason for this is that Sweden was historically a poor agrar-
ian country. A harsh winter climate made food scarce for many
months, necessitating careful forward planning.
Today, Sweden is a technologically advanced country with a suc-
cessful economy, so this is no longer necessary. However, the
mindset continues to be manifested in the form of fabulous, cost
saving innovations.
NIBE is a perfect example of the economical Swedish mind at
work!
The company was founded by Nils Bernerup in 1952, after a particu-
larly cold winter. And over the last 60 years it has become Sweden’s
leading supplier of domestic heating products, continually driving
the development of ever-more efficient heating methods.
Early products included water heaters and pressure vessels. In the
1970s these were supplemented by electric boilers. Heat pumps
and a wide range of other heating products that meet the needs
of the European markets were later added to the mix.
Nowadays, NIBE is a leading player in both heating and cooling so-
lutions around Europe. We strive to offer innovative solutions that
not only save energy but which also reduce CO
2
emissions.
Together with our customers, we’re working towards a more sus-
tainable future, one home at a time.
