HISTORY
Termobrasa was founded in 1970 under the name Eusébio Ribeiro & Costa Lda., in a small facility located in Devesas, Vila Nova de Gaia. Although its initial goal was to manufacture gutters and metallic kitchen furniture, the company soon shifted its focus to the production electric water heaters (“cylinders”) made from copper sheet.
In the 1980s, due to an unprecedented rise in copper prices, Termobrasa restructured its production and became the first Portuguese company to manufacture water heaters using carbon steel sheets – a significantly more cost-effective solution.
The company’s growth led to the relocation to new facilities in Avintes, still in Vila Nova de Gaia, where significant investment was made in acquiring equipment to enable the production of stainless-steel products: autoclaves and water heaters.
A continuous focus on innovation and the development of sustainable water heating solutions led, in the early 2000s, to the development of the first thermodynamic DHW heat pumps, which quickly became Termobrasa’s main product and the foundation of its growth over the last decade.
In 2024, Termobrasa completed the largest investment in its history with the modernization of its Avintes industrial unit, equipping it with new machinery and expanding its global area to 3,000 m² – fully prepared to meet the new challenges of sustainable growth and international expansion.
