Vaillant Taking Care of Our World for The Next Generation

Did you know Vaillant is still a family business they have always put service and quality first

 

The Vaillant history stretches back to the year 1874 when the company was founded by Johann Vaillant in Remscheid, Germany. Ever since then, Vaillant has been a market leader in the heating and ventilation technology industry.

 

Vaillant as a rich heritage

 

1874

 

Establishment of Vaillant as a craft workshop for installation work. A 23-year-old tailor's son declares in the newspaper in Remscheid that he has 'established himself as a coppersmith and pump manufacturer'.

 

1894

 

Patent for gas bath boiler 'closed system'. This boiler permits heating water in a hygienic way for the first time, without the combustion gases condensing into the a water. The temperature of the water can also be controlled. This is a groundbreaking innovation in the field of heating technology

 

1899

 

Johann Vaillant adopts the 'Easter bunny in an egg' as the trademark for Vaillant. This makes him one of the pioneers in the field of branded products in the German consumer goods industry. The Vaillant bunny is today the most familiar heating technology trademark in Europe.

 

1905

 

Wall-hung version of the Vaillant gas bath boiler 'Geyser' conquers the world. There is enough space in virtually any room for the convenient hot water preparation system. An innovation which survives to the present day.

 

1924

 

Vaillant develops a central heating boiler. It was previously necessary to have an oven or fireplace in each room and this innovation allows heating of all the rooms in a house from a central location. It is now only necessary to have radiators in the rooms.

 

1960

 

Vaillant introduces another innovation onto the marketplace under the name of 'Circo-Geyser MAG-C 20'. The first wall-hung gas fired circulation water heater.

 

1967

 

The 'Combi-Geyser VCW 20' combines, for the first time, heating and hot water supply in a single unit. An innovation which the sector continues to use today. The unit also impresses with short heating times and the heat output is matched to the demand.

 

1978

 

Vaillant offers the first room-air independent wall-hung boiler with a fan. The room where the boiler is hanging no longer needs continuous positive ventilation. The oxygen required for combustion is drawn in from outside. New application technologies are possible.

 

1983

 

Introduction of the Termoblock range with stainless steel heat-exchanger, continuous modulation (40-100%) and electronic ignition. These innovations result in longer working life, reduced consumption and comfortable operation of the equipment.

 

1991

 

Vaillant sets new standards with the introduction of the low toxcitiy Thermoblock. Thi is the first fully mixing atmospheric burner with water cooling in the world.

 

1997

 

Completion of the product range by solar thermal systems for heating drinking water. An initial important step in the expansion of the range of systems based on renewable energy sources

 

2001

 

The launch of the Vaillant Compact Unit range. The system combines the heating boiler and domestic hot water cylinder in a compact optimally-matched component group. This ensures efficient operation and simple installation.

 

2002

 

Vaillant is the first company to start a Europe wide field testing programme for fuel-cell boilers called the 'Virtual Fuel Cell Power Plant'. 10 European partners participate in the project and it has a value of 8.6 million euros.

 

2003

 

Vaillant sets the standard for remote monitoring and control of boilers, heat pumps and solar systems with the online communication system vrnetDialog. For the first time, it is possible to monitor and adjust a heating system from afar.

 

 

2006

 

Introduction of the oil-fired condensing boiler icoVIT with optimum energy utilisation and low toxicity combustion. This generation of equipment makes oil a real alternative to gas condensing technology from the point of view of emissions.

 

 

2007

 

The production of their own air-water heat pumps means that Vaillant is extending the product range of systems for renewable energies. The Vaillant heat pump achieves winner status in consumer goods tests (Stiftung Warentest)

 

 

2008
