The founder of the company “Vailant” is considered to be Johan Wyllant. He is known for his entrepreneurial abilities. Plus, he was an excellent engineer. He lived in the small town of Remscheid, which is located in Germany. In 1874, the production of the company "Vailant" was officially launched. At the very beginning of his journey, an outstanding entrepreneur made every effort to become successful. All this made it possible to quickly bring the company to the world level.
History of gas boilers
In 1894, the first Vailant boilers were launched. Customer reviews were good. Gas boilers were a real breakthrough and went down in history as significant inventions. Their case was closed, so they weighed a lot. Further developments moved towards the invention of wall-mounted boilers. Such an apparatus was produced only in 1905 and was named the Geyser. Unlike his predecessors, he had a more modest weight and looked decent. A few years later, a floor boiler was developed and released. Soon it became very popular and was used by many for heating homes. It was only in 1960 that the first electric water heater was released, which was a flow type. It was quite modest in size and had a small capacity. A year later, the Wailant wall model with a single-function panel was developed. Further, the company was focused on the production of a more reliable two-function boiler. It was first released at the factory in 1967.
Boiler Production
To date, the company "Vailant" is considered one of the largest manufacturers of boilers. Additionally, it produces various heating devices that are known throughout the world. The feature of the Vailant products lies in their principle of operation. Some devices run on fuel, others on gas, and others on electricity.
Different boilers "Vailant" were presented on the European market. Reviews of experts confirmed information about their uniqueness. Vailant boilers are very versatile. There are models that are capable of high-quality heating of large modern homes and at the same time remain economical. Also, gas boilers can perfectly be used in old rooms where the heating system is outdated and needs to be repaired. Devices of different capacities make it possible to use them both in large enterprises and in modest summer cottages.
All equipment is thoroughly tested and verified before sale. During production, all requirements are observed, so there are no problems with the quality of the goods. Given this, boilers can be operated for a long time without any maintenance.
To date, the choice of gas devices is very large, so choosing the right option based on operating conditions is quite simple.
Not so long ago, Vailant was incorporated into the Vailant Group. The number of workers in this company is constantly increasing and as of 2010 totaled 10,000 people.
Demand for boilers
The demand for Vailant boilers is very large: more than 2 million units are sold per year, and the turnover is almost 2 billion euros. The most popular are the floor mounted boilers "Vailant".
