The History of Variotherm
Heating. Cooling. Feeling good. For a lifetime.
Variotherm is an Austrian family business that has been involved in the production and distribution of ecological and economical surface heating and cooling systems since 1979. In the manufacturing of the products, we place the greatest importance on the use of natural materials. Dive with us into the success story of Variotherm:
40 years of Variotherm
Four decades ago, visionary Wilhelm Watzek founded the company and introduced the Skirting Heating System to Austria. His son Alexander took over Variotherm from his father 20 years ago and continued the success story with many other Low Temperature Systems for heating and cooling.
Variotherm continues to grow.
An extension of 650 m² to the company headquarters creates space: new offices, a consulting and training center including a demonstration room, an area for research & development, and a VarioCafé. All equipped with the most modern Variotherm technology, which can be experienced up close here.
New production facility
From February to April 2003, the new, fully automated production facility for expansion panels with integrated heating pipes was established at our Leobersdorf headquarters. It allows these to be manufactured significantly more cost-effectively, as well as faster and more flexibly than before.
The System Wall Heating and the VarioKlima Pipe
As the team at Variotherm is fascinated by the idea of large-scale Radiant Heat, they build the first System-Wall Heatings in 1987/88, which are patented in 1990/91 and later certified for building biology. In 1996, the "Varioklima Pipe" is developed for Wall and Underfloor Heatings.
Awarding of the Austria Quality Seal
In recognition of the tested quality of the products, Variotherm is awarded the Austria Quality Seal three years after the company's founding. Over the following years, the company increasingly becomes a specialist in heating systems that generate biologically healthy radiant heat.
The success story begins.
In the fall of 1979, the success story of Variotherm begins in a small shop in the 10th district of Vienna. The goal: to optimally utilize the production patent of the then completely novel Skirting Heating System. Low-temperature Skirting Heating that, compared to all other models on the market, guarantees a significant improvement in efficiency.
