Electrical Floor Heating
DEVI's History

Electric Heating since 1942!

DEVI -  an abbreviation of Dansk El-Varme Industri - was established in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1942. 

At the beginning DEVI manufactured heating elements for industrial purposes. In the early sixties DEVI starts to take an interest in electric heating cables and the oldest heating cable installations are from the early sixties.

From Copenhagen to Vejle
As is the case with many other Danish companies DEVI chooses to move its activities from Copenhagen to the provinces during the seventies and in the early eighties. DEVI settles in Vejle where the communications such as motorway and railway are good and which is close to an international airport. But first of all the industry has easy access to motivated and qualified manpower.

The modern DEVI starts in 1985 
Over the sixties and seventies the industrial heating elements were still the far most important product group but in the early eighties a considerable export of heating cables begin, - to begin with to Finland.The first subsidiary companies in Germany, Sweden and Norway are established in the mid eighties and the export adventure starts to take shape. Throughout the nineties things start speeding up and a number of subsidiary companies are established, among other places in the previous East bloc countries.

European Market Leader
Since the beginning in Copenhagen in 1942 things have accelerated. Today DEVI is Europe’s leading company within the industry with a considerable market share.

Outside Europe DEVI is - amongst others - represented in Canada, China and South Africa.
