Zehnder (Runtal). Barcelona

The engineer Egon Runte and the architect Jürg Altherr founded Runtal in 1953 in Switzerland. This company manufactures exclusive radiators, combining a great knowledge of operation and materials, with an unmistakable talent for design and interior design.

Pioneers in this field, Runtal created highly innovative products such as a roof-mounted indirect heating convector or the first fast-reacting hot water heating system, but the oil crisis of 1973 and the emergence of more modern and cheaper products manufactured by very aggressive competition, caused the company to lose positions in the heating market. Runtal didn't start innovating again until 1981; this time creating simpler, better and less expensive products.

In 1988 Zehnder Group, based in Gränichen, Switzerland, acquired Runtal. Since then -following the tradition established by its founders- the brand has been synonymous with advanced technology, continuous innovation and pioneering design which continues, since January 2022, with the Runtal legacy through Zehnder's premium design line: Zehnder Studio Collection.

MAT is official distributor of the Runtal brand of radiators.
