About Harvia
Wellness, before it was even called wellness.
In Finland, people have always understood the power of heat for healing. It eases the body, clears the mind, and brings people together as equals.
In 1950,
Tapani Harvia built his first wood-burning stove so his family could enjoy those moments at home. Then he built one for a neighbor. Soon, hundreds each year were leaving his workshop. From those humble wood-heated beginnings, Harvia grew into a world leader in saunas — trusted by millions, and known for bringing warmth and wellbeing to homes and spas around the globe.
Industrial production started in the 1970s. Electric heaters followed in the 1980s. Exports took off in the 1990s. Today, Harvia is the global market leader offering complete solutions for every sauna type — from traditional to infrared and steam, and from hot tubs to cold plunge pools — covering the full spectrum of thermal therapy.
Behind Harvia’s success is an international team united by a shared passion for the healing power of heat. Our operations span Finland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Romania, the United States, China, and Japan, with distribution in nearly 100 countries.
The secret formula remains the same: unparalleled craftsmanship, durability, energy efficiency, and respect for tradition — by re-inventing it for everyone. Because a sauna is not just hot stones and steam, but a sanctuary for recovery, reflection, and renewal. With the science to prove it. And just like you want it.
We simply called it sauna. The world now calls it wellness.
