A passion for sauna.

The founder of Harvia Ltd., Tapani Harvia (1920–1998), was a purposeful man and passionate about his sauna. In the army, he was always the one who dictated the pace of throwing water on the sauna stones. At the request of those who became impatient with Tapani Harvia’s style of sauna bathing, he was actually granted his own private sauna shift. Tapani Harvia’s youth left him with a particularly strong memory of the deliciously soft sauna bath given off by a continuously heated stove furniture forged by a village blacksmith. Over the years, this memory was refi ned into a business idea, and fi nally resulted in a successful product.As a result of Tapani Harvia’s hard work, professional skill and innovative style, Harvia sauna heaters were the start of a huge success story. Harvia Ltd. was founded in 1950. Today, the company is the world’s leading manufacturer of sauna heaters and the market leader in the Finnish sauna heater sector. In addition to heaters, Harvia produces saunas as well as infrared cabins, steam generators and sauna accessories.
