It was all started by two German businessmen. Wilhelm Ernst Haas senior and Wilhelm Ernst Haas junior. In 1854, the father and son bought a foundry. Business went well and, before long, the first wood and oil stoves began making their way out of the factory in Neuhoffnungshütten.
A few hundred kilometres away, in 1992, the halls of the Czech state-owned enterprise Rukov were given hope of a new lease of life. From strain gauges to furniture, everything imaginable was manufactured here. The founder of the company HAAS+SOHN Rukov, Mr Václav Cintl senior, however, decided to bet everything on one card. Stoves, which have always been technologically one step ahead, began their journeys from the foothills of the Lusatian Mountains to all corners of the world.
We’ve remained a family business to this day, and strive to maintain our technological lead with every day that goes by. We have our own team of design engineers and testing facilities.
