Stûv resulted from the meeting in 1983 of two men with a common passion for beautiful objects : Benoît Lafontaine and Gérard Pitance.
Together, they finalised the first wood stove designed by Gérard Pitance, the current Stûv 60. Component manufacture was entrusted to sub-contractors and the two associates, with a light infrastructure, took care of the assembly and installation. Their early days were laborious but encouraging.
Progressively, Stûv acquired production tools and developed new models but also diversifies its activities in other sectors as a consultancy office for various industrial partners.
Today, Stûv can boast a state of the art production site with some 132 staff and a yearly production of some 18000 stoves. They continually develop new concepts of wood stoves.
The progression of the Company is mainly down to the quality of its products ; this quality is the result of an innovative spirit and a permanent quest to improve technical performance, customer satisfaction and enhance aesthetic quality.
