THE ORIGINAL SINCE 1921
Our founder Christian Backer patented the modern day tubular heating element back in 1921. Almost 30 years later in Sösdala Sweden, Backer AB External link. was founded to commercialize this technology for large scale production. Since that time, Backer has developed and produced components and solutions for electric heating markets around the world. Backer AB, in that little town in the south of Sweden, continues to this day as the Backer Group's global headquarters. With 70 companies and 10.000 employees around the world, the Backer Group External link. is the premier solution provider in the heating element industry.
Many of Backer’s products trace their origins back to the technical innovations in Christian Backer's patents. Heating experts around the word still today refer to the so called “Backer element” as the industry standard.
