KLAFS
He didn't invent the sauna. But with his ideas, he certainly paved the way for a new discovery. In 1952, Erich Klafs personally delivered the first EKS, after loading it into a small trailer attached to his car. EKS – Erich Klafs Sauna – was the first completely prefabricated sauna for home installation. Previously built on site by laborers or carpenters over several days, saunas could vary in quality. But now, thanks to ingenious production techniques, it was possible to produce sophisticated, high-quality, yet affordable saunas that could be installed in a matter of seconds. A brilliant idea, which was ahead of its time.
Helping the sick, and protecting the healthy from disease and infection - was the mission of Erich Klafs when he focused on therapies that included baths, and later on saunas. KLAFS firmly follows in the footsteps of Erich Klafs. And you can be sure that if the product bears the name of KLAFS, it is full of benefits and health benefits! Because KLAFS wants people to feel better – physically and mentally. A clear mission that drives our work, day after day.
