Beginnings
In 1960, Kurt Kerschl and two other shareholders founded Kermi as a manufacturer of heating oil tanks in Plattling. The company has been producing radiators since 1967.
In 1973 the company was taken over by Salzgitter AG and began producing shower enclosures in 1976 .
After the merger of Salzgitter and the Preussag Group in 1989, Kermi became a subsidiary of the Preussag Group. In the 1990s, the company expanded its range to include bathroom radiators, convectors and heating walls.
