Electricfor Heating Systems India Private Limited

1918

Mr. Eduardo Forgas Guillamet associates with Mr. Tenas to form Tenas & Forgas society, devoting themselves to manufacture electric appliances and the heating resistances that these include. They printed a small rate catalogue with the trademark Tenfor, dated on June 1921. It is curious to see the extensive range of products, considering the age we are are talking about.

1936

Once the society Mr. Forgas dissolves, he starts manufacturing moulds and matrix for the fabrication of women hairdressers' devices with resistances. They register two patents that will be the base for the later trademark Rizafor.

1938

During the Spanish Civil War, Mr. Forgas, based on his professional industrial training knowledge, continues his research on the thermoelectric field, promoting instant water heaters and other artefacts with the trademarks Rizafor and Electricfor.

1940

Manufacturing of the first resistances inside fine metallic tubes for different applications.

1941

Presentation in August of the patent 154216, refereed to "methods for the manufacturing of electric heating elements".

1942

Concession of such patent on October. The same year, a 150,000W heating element for an electric furnace is built on the Wagner street factory(Barcelona). Manufacture of the first series of heaters for radiators and electric soldering irons, thermostats, precision switches, mercury thermostats and contact elements for the regulation of electric furnaces.

1943

Mr. Eduardo Forgas Guillamet founds in Barcelona E. Forgas company for the manufacturing of heater devices.

1944

Manufacture of the first heaters for ships, specifically for submarines.

1945-1958

Expansion of the original installations to other factories of the high part of Barcelona, with the intention of increasing the production and improve the process of fabrication of shielded tubular resistance of high length, surpassing the 6000 mm.

1959

The year preceding the building of the first fabric, at the same stage as the project was being prepared, Mr. Eduardo Forgas Guillamet dies. His sons Jose Maria, Pepita y Eduardo, already participants in the business, take charge of the continuous investigations and of the improvement of the products.

1960-1973

The fabric at Rios Rosas street, in Barcelona, starts working in an area of 900m2. The continuous demand of new products pushes to the creation of a technique office, where new projects are designed and performed. Electricfor’s competition becomes it's best customers, passing to consume big amounts of straight elements. Great achievements are obtained in the pneumatic automation for that use. Fabrication of machinery with self technology to increase the production and to improve the finishes.

1974

The anonymous society Electricfor regularises. The same year a production plant and an office of 1.700 m2 is build in the locality of Rubí, moving all the activity to such installations. This allows the increasing of the productivity, and the developing of the technologies needed in order to start and to make able new industrial processes of greater complexity and size. Creation of a new and wider series of products in sub mounting or finished in order to respond even faster to market.

1977

The barrier of 6.000 mm is exceeded, regarding the length of the shielded tubular electric resistance, producing elements that surpass the 7.000 mm.

1978

First elaboration of elements of Ø inferior to 6,35 mm. Dielectric tests exceeding 8.5 mm.

The experience of manufacturing heating elements has taught us that some systems don’t work because the elements don’t contribute enough heat, there is bad regulation or none at all, the materials used aren’t the most appropriate ones, with the consequent risk of defects in the elements, etc. On the other hand, we find systems that are overly large and the consequences of such: more energy consumption than required, systems that are too inertial, etc. All of these factors lead to increased costs in your production system and even to halts in manufacturing.

At Electricfor S.A., we know that communication between customer and manufacturer is fundamental for satisfying needs as far as functioning, quality and price are concerned. Therefore, our team of Sales Technicians, together with the client, takes stock of the situation and decides how to approach it and solve the “problem”.
