Energy price trends in Germany
Wood chips and other wood-based fuels are unbeatable in price. The price of wood chips in particular has been stable for years. Our Heizomat systems can also use cheaper wood chips made of waste wood, roadside greenery and thinning wood.
By contrast, the prices for gas and oil are quite different: they have seen strong increases, especially in the period from 2000 to 2009. Because gas is linked to the oil price, this energy source also rose faster in price than the actual extraction costs. In addition, there are the EEG (Renewable Energy Act) levies in Germany. Oil prices have also risen in recent years. Crude oil prices do keep falling, but this is not a reliable option for the future due to the unstable political situation in many oil producing countries

The wood chip cycle
Our business is pure sustainability, resource efficiency and regionality. Heizomat promotes an environmentally-friendly and socially responsible wood chip cycle and is itself part of this concept. The focus is on a regional value chain.
Our philosophy
Heizomat makes its products exclusively in Germany at its two production sites in Gunzenhausen/Maicha and Heidenheim. This means that we can have our products manufactured at the highest technical level by very qualified specialists.
The Heidenheim site
Positive business performance and increasing demand for our Heizomat wood heating systems led to us acquiring the properties of the former Hahnenkamm barracks in Heidenheim in 2005.
Heizomat timeline
Our first product after the company was founded in 1982 was a Heizomat boiler with a day tank. Many innovative pieces of equipment have followed since then, as have new business areas.
The Maicha site
Our main site is located at the headquarters in Maicha (Weisenburg-Gunzenhausen district, Bavaria). Around 130 qualified employees manufacture our Heizomat wood chip and biomass heating systems and wood chippers here.
