History UK

Hoval Ltd is the UK arm of the international Hoval Group based in Liechtenstein.  The Hoval brand name was registered in 1945 and is privately owned by members of the original family.  It has subsidiaries in Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Croatia, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, China and the UK.  The Company has agencies and licensees in other countries and has an international reputation for high quality, high efficiency and environmentally advanced products.

Hoval Ltd designs and manufactures commercial heating systems including steel shell and pre-mix gas condensing boilers, heat pumps, solar thermal systems, calorifiers, pressure vessels as well as a wide range of diverse ventilation and air heat recovery technologies. The Group is recognised as a leading European pioneer and innovator in environmentally friendly heating and cooling systems.

Hoval originally entered the UK in 1958 and purchased the Farrar boiler works in Newark in 1961.  It is from the same site that the UK business is still run today with additional heavy manufacturing facilities in the nearby city of Lincoln.  The original Farrar boiler works was established in Newark in 1887.  The works then supplied boilers and heating equipment to the extremities of the British Empire for 80 years prior to Hoval acquisition - surviving near misses from bombing raids of the Second World War as well as manufacturing military ordnance during both world wars.

Consequently, as a company steeped in engineering tradition, Hoval Ltd today enjoys the enviable position as one of the nation's leading suppliers of heating equipment to the Building Services Industry.  The Company has installed boilers and related equipment for a wide spectrum of clients in many walks of life including hospitals, prisons, sports stadia, schools, commercial office developments, hotels, museums and many other buildings of size and note.

Additionally, as supplier to Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle Hoval Ltd is proud to hold the Royal Warrant to Her Majesty the Queen as Boiler Manufacturers and Engineers.
