"MORE QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES."
>> Reinhold Kalteis
A passionate product developer with a high degree of inventiveness, that’s Reinhold Kalteis, founder and senior boss of S.E. System Electronic GmbH. The infrared radiant heater success story began in 2009, when Reinhold Kalteis had the idea of developing infrared radiant heaters by chance. A business partner wanted to import radiant heaters from abroad to Germany and sell them there. However, these showed considerable deficiencies. Since his interest was already at that time the electric heaters and the associated effective heat source, it was quickly decided to produce its own high-quality product. With his many years of experience in the development of high-quality products, the trained electronics engineer knows what matters when it comes to heat.
