Caframo is a Canadian manufacturing company in Ontario, Canada.[1][2][3][4]

Background

Founded in 1955 by Hans Heidolph,[5] Caframo is privately owned and manufactures products including laboratory overhead stirrers, specialty fans, heaters, thermoelectric fans, and thermoelectric lighting.[6][7] The company name originally evolved from the development of Canadian Fractional Motors and the products that use them.[8][9] In 1996, General Manager Tony Solecki purchased the company.[10][11]

Currently, the company is organized into two divisions.[12] Caframo Lifestyle Solutions focuses on consumer products including the Ecofan, JOI Lamp, specialty marine fans,[13] and heaters while Caframo Laboratory Solutions focuses on laboratory stirrers[14] and accessories.[15]

In 2018, Caframo was named Business of the Year by Owen Sound and District Chamber of Commerce[16] and was presented with the Community Conservation Award from the Owen Sound Field Naturalists.[17] In 2019, the Caframo True North Heater was named as the Best Overall Electric Heater for RVs by The Drive magazine.[18]

Ecofan

Ecofan is the very first heat powered stove fan to market.[19] Since the original Ecofan’s debut, Caframo has introduced several new Ecofan models including the low-temperature BelAir Model 806, patented UltrAir 810, and AirMax 812, all of which are sold to consumers in North America, United Kingdom, Europe, New Zealand, and Japan.[20]

The company has been awarded two Vesta Awards from Hearth & Home magazine, in 2007 for the low-temperature BelAir model and in 2019 for the 8200 Series.[21]
