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 out of Copenhagen during the seventies and in the early eighties. DEVI settles in Vejle where the infrastructure such as motorway and railway are good and is close to an international airport. But first of all the industry has easy access to motivated and qualified employees.
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 began, - to begin with to Finland.The first subsidiary companies in Germany, Sweden and Norway was established in the mid eighties. Throughout the nineties things start speeding up and a number of subsidiary companies are established, among other places in the previous Eastern European 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.
