Heatstar are extremely proud to remain a family run company with the same values, commitment, and vision that gave the company its start. As a business this is the very core of what they do and is underpinned by their three core values: people, products and technology.

However, the ethos of a close-knit family run business remains with numerous key employees with some significant years on the clock. This ethos also extends to our customers who we have built up lasting relationships, with many decades of collaboration to meet the high demands expected from our industry.

Equally, over the years, we have not lost our ability to adapt and change to meet the unique demands and nuances of these high-end projects. We are unique in that we continue to design bespoke equipment to either overcome on site obstacles or to incorporate new technologies or meet the individual demands of any application.
This adaptability ensures that no matter the application requirements, Heatstar will continue to work with you to provide the perfect solution to meet our mutual goal of having a successful project and a happy customer.

This collaborative approach to find a solution to any requirement sets us apart and we cannot do this without the great team of people we have working for us, who together make Heatstar a great company to be part of."
