Elmatic has been acquired by NIBE Industrier AB
Cardiff – CFI is pleased to announce that it existed as lead financial advisor to the shareholders of Elmatic on its sale to NIBE Industrier AB.
Elmatic is one of the UK’s longest-established manufacturers of industrial electric heating elements. Founded in 1949, Elmatic has operated as a family-run business dedicated to producing custom-built, high-quality heating solutions for diverse industries.

They produce domestic stoves, air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, as well as other heating and climate control equipment. The company head office is in Markaryd.

I would like to thank the exceptional team of employees, who will continue their work in very capable hands.”
