THE STORY
It all began in 1976 when a small steel fabrication business
launched by Wolfgang Schroeter started manufacturing steel
railings in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. At that time, no one could
imagine the incredible future that lay ahead for Wolf Steel Ltd.
and eventually Napoleon
®
Fireplaces and Napoleon
®
Grills.
Since the first wood stove rolled off the production line over 38
years ago, Wolf Steel’s commitment was to be distinctive and
successful in everything they do. The original stove featured a
solid cast iron two-door design and was produced in a 95m²
manufacturing facility. By 1981, the name “Napoleon
®
” was
born and with it, the first single glass door with Pyroceram
high temperature ceramic glass − a first in the industry. This
was the first of many milestones for Wolf Steel
™
and over the
next few years, the demand for Napoleon’s wood stoves grew
beyond Ontario’s borders to the rest of Canada, the United
States, Europe, the United Kingdom, and now Australia and
New Zealand.
