Our HistOry
This American story starts during the hectic times of World War II at an era where basic necessities were scarce and people
went through life without common comforts that are now mostly taken for granted.
My father in his early 20’s, was married with children and living in a very cold region of the world with few available
natural resources. He longed for a warm home for his young family.
“Necessity is the Mother of All Inventions”. My Father, Mourad Demirjian, with a background as a plumber, came up with an idea
of using diesel fuel as a heat source. He realized that if he developed a way to control the amount of diesel fuel discharging he
could achieve a constant ame. He developed a drip method system that could regulate the amount of fuel discharging. Then,
he designed a path of travel to allow the discharging fuel to ow into a welded metal chamber. Once capturing a clean burning
ame, he used special louvers and heat transfer panels to radiate constant heat into the room.
Once that was achieved, he set his sights on designing a special ue to exhaust fumes, produced by the burning fuel, out of the
room. After a few adjustments he had created his viable fuel-efcient space heater.
My Mother, being the center of the community, had many friends and relatives stopping by for visits. Once they took notice of our
warm home there was an immediate demand for my father’s new space heater. As you can imagine, my father left his job as a
plumber to focus on building his new space heaters to fulll the quick rising demand. Later models incorporated a glass window
to view the burning ames and a hot plate on top to keep food warm. I remember as a small child using it to melt cheese on
bread for a quick snack.
In the late 60’s my family immigrated to the United States. In the early 70’s we started building custom commercial cooking equip-
ment. This led us to develop our own brand of a production line-up of cooking equipment based on those one-of-a kind designs,
which is supplied nationally and internationally to the food service industry. Along with building quality equipment we have also
built quality relationships. These relationships created another demand and inspired us to build our commercial grade residential
cooking appliances.
