Philosophy

Philosophy

Our need for fire and warmth is as old as humanity itself - over the millennia, all human cultures have treated fire as a central element in their communal lives. We want to preserve this tradition, adapting it to the way we live today.
We always develop our products with an eye towards sustainability and towards increasing safety and comfort for our customers. Only when they feel comfortable with our products can we fulfil our promise: live warmer with wodtke (wodtke wärmer wohnen).

wodtke pellet stove technology

wodtke is the pioneer in the area of pellet stove technology for residential heating in Europe. The inception of this new development dates back to 1989. Numerous tributes and awards underscore the outstanding, innovative quality if its technology and design. In 2003 wodtke becomes the first German company to receive the "Blue Angel" environmental label for residential wood pellet firing installations.

Design prizes and awards

wodtke products have frequently been awarded in the last years by leading design juries – awards that fulfill us with proud and that we accept with good grace, because they show us that striving towards a good shape is not only honoured by our customers.

Creating the Future through Innovation

From Pellet Pioneer to Solution Provider

We are all responsible for working towards new and forward­thinking energy systems. CO2-neutral heating with wood and wood pellets has become an extremely efficient alternative to fossil fuel sources. This is a fact well worth noting, in our era of ever scarcer natural res­ources. Sustainability and the environment are the focus of everything we do.
