Jøtul, Norwegian craftsmanship
Jøtul is the longest running producer of wood stoves in the world boasting a 160 year long history. The adventure started in Loelva in 1853 where Oluf Onsum, the son of a farmer, founded Kværner Jernstøberi. Kværner started the development of cast iron products, and leading up to 1900, the company was one of the largest wood stove foundries in Norway.
All Jøtul brand wood and gas stoves, inserts, and fireplaces sold in the North America are now manufactured in Gorham, Maine.
