Tradition & Modernity

The stove-fitting tradition has been cultivated in Steyr, Upper Austria, since 1491. To this day, it is still worked according to the original production steps, even if these are now supported by the latest technologies. Each tile is individually cast, finished, glazed and fired within 26 long hours. A future built on the strong foundation of long-standing tradition.
