What Haas + Sohn does

Haas + Sohn (legal entity: Haas+Sohn Fűtőkészülékgyártó és Kereskedő Kft.) is a privately held Hungarian manufacturer of heating appliances headquartered and operating from a production facility in Pápa, Hungary. Founded in 1854, the company has produced heating equipment for over 160 years and self-describes as the most successful fireplace stove and stove manufacturer in Europe. Its product portfolio spans ten categories: conventional fireplace stoves (kandallókályhák), pellet stoves with smartphone-app control (pelletkályhák), water-jacketed/water-bearing fireplace stoves for integration with central heating systems, built-in fireplaces, fireplace inserts (including an 11kW water-heating insert), kitchen stoves that combine cooking and heating functions, oil-burning stoves, long-burning coal stoves, Dimplex-branded electric heat storage heaters that exploit off-peak nighttime electricity tariffs, and accessories such as glass plates and draft regulators.

The underlying technology combines combustion engineering with proprietary features including patented heating technology, Easy Control automatic air regulation, independent external air connections certified to standards, long-burning coal combustion, and water-jacketed hydronic systems. Manufacturing is supported by in-house industrial metalworking capability using Trumpf laser cutting and stamping equipment and TrumpmaBend/Durma press brakes, which is also commercialized as a separate B2B industrial services offering (laser cutting, stamping, bending, metal structure fabrication). The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 3834-2:2006 welding certifications and operates a nationwide service network in Hungary with distribution partnerships extending into Austria and Germany.

The business model is sales-led hardware manufacturing and distribution. Revenue is generated from unit sales of heating appliances through dealer/partner networks across Hungary, Austria, and Germany, supplemented by direct sales relationships managed through a sales director, accessory sales, and custom industrial metal fabrication services. End customers are primarily residential consumers seeking economical and convenient space heating for homes, apartments, offices, shops, and schools, with a secondary segment of industrial clients requiring custom metal processing. Pricing follows catalog/indicative list pricing with regional tariffs, and product information is distributed through downloadable catalogs, trade show participation (e.g., HUNGEXPO OTTHON Design), social media (#haas+sohn), and a dedicated mobile application for pellet stove control.
