About Baufa
Baufa Wärmekörper GmbH in Menden (Sauerland) is a metalworking company founded in 1911 and specialized in the manufacture of high-quality, durable flat-panel radiators. Radiators have been produced in various versions for around 50 years, in particular the Monoplan series in the Normal, Versa, Comfort, Elegance and Vertical versions as well as the fully smooth Allplan radiator for the highest hygienic requirements. Production is carried out on a customer-specific, order-by-order basis, including custom designs, mounting brackets and casings, using modern production technologies such as laser welding machines and welding robots, along with an in-house toolmaking department and a development department. The products are accident-safe (GUV) and approved for public buildings, and are used in schools, sports facilities, exhibition halls, airports, hospitals, nursing homes, barracks, industry, administration, residential construction as well as shipbuilding and rail transport (boats, locomotives). In addition, the company offers complete solutions, planning documents, just-in-time delivery to the construction site and nationwide support by specialists. The company is managed by Dr.-Ing. Jörg Etteldorf and Bernd Klisch.
