Statements

"For us, hybrid heat is the combination of highly efficient fireplaces with the CO²-neutral burning of wood combined with the power of the sun (solar) and an electric support for the transition months. We are using the WORLD OF FIREPLACES to present this combination and looking forward to meeting our customers."

Kai Wolbeck
Managing Partner, Kleining GmbH & Co. KG

"We’re looking forward to exhibit at the World of Fireplaces to engage in dialogue with national and international distributors/trade partners about the future of the fireplace industry. As a global leader in the industry of electric fires we want to take you on a journey in the transition to a more sustainable world."

René IJdema
CEO, Glen Dimplex Flame Europe

"Wodtke focuses on hybrid heating systems. As a pellet pioneer and one of the leading manufacturers of innovative pellet and wood-burning stoves, we offer forward-looking solutions for heating and cosy warmth in the living space.
Heat and the heating of the future require the interaction of different energies for sustainable heat supply systems. An ideal combination: the heat pump and a wodtke water+ pellet stove with water heat exchanger for connection to the central heating system. In this hybrid heating system, both heat generators complement each other optimally and, in view of the supply shortage, the domestic energy source wood is to be seen as an essential part of the overall solution.

As part of the WORLD OF FIREPLACES in Leipzig, we will be showing - in cooperation with Buderus - the dream pair "wodtke water+ pellet stove and heat pump" at the Hybrid Heat Systems special show."

 

Christiane Wodtke
Managing Director, wodtke GmbH

"An international trade fair for fireplaces is not only important for the industry to present new products and to engage in dialogue with distributors, the trade and service providers, but also as a platform for political lobbying. We are very much looking forward to the exchange with all market participants about current trends and developments that will be decisive for the future of our industry. In this context, we are also focusing our attention on the area of "Hybrid Heat" within the context of the special show. Here we recommend water-bearing fireplaces, which can be combined with heat pumps".
