All Braude products are produced in Heatrod's modern factory in Bolton.

Heatrod is a member of The Backer Group and part of the global NIBE Element Group, one of the world market leaders in the design and manufacture of components and solutions for intelligent heating and control. Says Simon Ellam, Managing Director: “When I joined the company in 2013 I sat down with the team from the head office in Sweden and we set out a very specific strategy to target the industrial market and grow this area of the business. We have already made huge strides in this direction, but our new premises provide us with a fantastic base from where we can develop even further.”
