KALFRISA S.A.U. was born from the merger of Talleres de Calderería José Claver Pros and Fabricación de Cocinas Izuzquiza Arana S.A., as a company included in the Industrial Development Pole of the sixties.
Industrial refrigeration, industrial heating and kitchens
From 1965 to 1975 the company was involved in the fields of industrial refrigeration, industrial heating (under a German KLEINEWEFERS licence), and manufacture of industrial kitchens (under a French ROSIERES licence).
The end of this period saw the company withdraw from its industrial refrigeration activities.
Industrial heating and industrial kitchens
In the period between 1975 and 1981, KALFRISA focused on the fields of industrial heating and industrial kitchens. A boost was given to all matters heat recovery systems and air heaters for various industrial activities under a KLEINEWEFERS licence.
KALFRISA began to develop these new products in its engineering office and roll them out, first in the national market and later internationally, thus creating a very significant client portfolio that remains to this day.
Industrial kitchens no more
In 1982, in concert with the new shareholdings (with KLEINEWEFERS in the majority), KALFRISA stopped working on industrial kitchens.
NEW PRODUCT
In 1982, KALFRISA developed a new product in its engineering offices: facilities specialising in the curing of light tobacco.
In addition to enhancing the previous activities, the latter half of the eighties saw the introduction of new technology to produce equipment for heat-processed waste destruction - whether solid, liquid or gas - acquiring significant experience and the necessary technical know-how to meet the growing demand arising from the new and demanding environmental regulations.
Equipment for heat-processed waste destruction
KRAFTANLAGEN HEIDELBERG AG,
In 1990, KRAFTANLAGEN HEIDELBERG AG became a shareholder, purchasing the block of shares previously held by KLEINEWEFERS.
On the one hand, this change made it possible to continue developing the entire ongoing industrial program and, on the other, to participate in the technological experience and development of a group exposed to the highest demands in terms of technical standards, quality and technology that was thus then applied to the program pursued by KALFRISA.
Facilities for heat treating waste
From 1990 onwards, thanks to the incorporation of these new technologies, facilities for the thermal treatment of waste in integral plants of increasing complexity were undertaken and a specific development began in the treatment and purification of waste gases through the elimination of volatile organic compounds (VOC's).
Designing and manufacturing of new apparatus for cremations broached
Likewise, the design and manufacture of new specialised items for the cremation of human remains began. There are currently over 500 systems operating in funeral homes both in Spain and across Europe and the Americas.
Similarly, new items for the cremation of pets and farm animals were designed and marketed, coinciding with the development of the previous equipment.
At the end of 2005, the 53% of the company held by KRAFTANLAGEN HEILDELBER AG was purchased by the founding families of KALFRISA, leaving them in control of 100% of the company. Thus, all the capital was in the hands of Spanish partners.

KALFRISA acquired the incinerator furnace division
In February 2009, KALFRISA acquired the incinerator furnaces division of the Catalan company SAUNIER DUVAL SETRI ESPAÑOLA SA, strengthening and expanding its presence and leadership in this field.
Since 2015, KALFRISA POLSKA has been working on cornering the Polish market, with very positive results in the various business lines present in the KALFRISA product catalogue.

CABIESES SA
Continuing its policy of international expansion, in 2022 KALFRISA acquired a major stake in CABIESES SA from Lima (Peru), a company specialising in heat treatment furnaces and the automation of industrial equipment, with the stated aim of providing industrial and commercial support across various Latin American countries.
In support of all the activity undertaken in the Indo-Asian area, the same year saw the first steps taken to establish a presence through its own company in India, for which purpose KALFRISA INDIA LTD was created.
