The small village of Tarm in Denmark is home to a company that warms homes
in more than 50 countries around the world. The products of the HS-TARM
Company can be found throughout Europe, the Middle East, Australia and Canada.
the United States. This is a company with a long history of keeping people
warm. The business was founded in the early 1900’s by Rasmus Soerensen
a blacksmith servicing the horse and wagon trade. His son Hans joined him,
and expanded the small firm’s offerings to include wood stoves and
eventually central boilers that could be connected to remote radiators with
pipes. The younger Soerensen, whose initials “H.S.” were eventually
incorporated into the company's name and logo, manufactured his first real
boiler in 1927.
The site of the tiny shop has grown
over the years but the dedication to hydronic heating equipment has never
varied. Now more than 300 craftspeople work in a modern facility to serve
the markets of the world. The company makes 60% of the home boilers used
in Denmark. The guiding principles of the Soerensens still guide the company’s
product development and manufacturing. Quality control and attention to
detail are finely honed components of the HS-TARM identity. The company
embraces all facets of machine tool technology that can improve the fit
and finish of HS-TARM boilers, and matches them with human attitudes
that insure that the emphasis is always on quality. A million dollar laser
steel cutter has recently been installed to improve the already legendary
fit and finish of the company’s products, but the finest equipment,
they know, is only as good as the people at the control switches. To this
end, HS-TARM has become an ISO 9001 certified company. The ISO (International
Standards Organization) audits and assures the highest standards in quality,
materials and workmanship.
The disruption in the supplies of fossil
fuels, combined with environmental realities, has motivated the company
to design products that give the consumer the best chance at achieving
energy independence. No one knows how world events will affect fuel prices
and availability, but the HS-TARM owner knows that he will be prepared
for any eventuality. Rasmus and Hans Soerensen would approve. Although
the company’s experience has spanned many decades and has encompassed
tens of thousands of home heating situations, the principles of making
quality products that keep people warm have changed very little over time.
