About us

Bur­da World­wi­de Tech­no­lo­gies GmbH, Bur­da WTG for short, was foun­ded in 1990 by Jiri Bur­da, today’s Mana­ging Direc­tor. In 1997, the com­pa­ny star­ted in spe­cia­li­zing in the import and sale of infrared short­wa­ve tech­no­lo­gy to Euro­pe and Korea. Sin­ce 1999, the com­pa­ny has been a lea­der in the field of cli­ma­te con­trol with sta­te-of-the-art infrared tech­no­lo­gy under the brand name Bur­da Perfectclime®.

Sin­ce the start of pro­duc­tion, Bur­da WTG has alre­a­dy regis­tered its own inter­na­tio­nal patents, which con­ti­nue to set stan­dards today and form the basis for the inter­na­tio­nal suc­cess of the brand. With annu­al sales of more than € 4 mil­li­on and glo­bal pro­duct dis­tri­bu­ti­on in more than 50 count­ries, the com­pa­ny is one of the mar­ket leaders.

Effi­ci­ent, ener­gy-saving and pre­cis­e­ly crea­ting the per­fect cli­ma­te with intel­li­gent solu­ti­ons for heat, coo­ling and light is our passion“

Corporate Philosophy

As a pio­neer in short-wave infrared tech­no­lo­gy, Bur­da WTG com­mands the exper­ti­se and the know-how to con­stant­ly deve­lop that tech­no­lo­gy fur­ther and to offer a one-stop ser­vice in hea­ting-, coo­ling- and light­ing-sys­tems. All Bur­da pro­ducts share four cen­tral values: inno­va­ti­on, qua­li­ty, design and dura­bi­li­ty. Bur­da WTG is a very dyna­mic com­pa­ny with only short inter­vals bet­ween new inno­va­tions. The goal is to gra­du­al­ly maxi­mi­ze the per­for­mance of the hea­ting and coo­ling devices. That is the company´s mea­su­re for suc­cess which is being pro­mo­ted day to day around the globe.

INTELLIGENT SOLUTIONS

Our inno­va­ti­ve and num­e­rous pro­ducts are pro­of of our intel­li­gent solu­ti­ons. To crea­te instanta­neous­ly pro­du­ce hea­ting or coo­ling in an ener­gy-effi­ci­ent and cost-effec­ti­ve man­ner is our pas­si­on. Our colour adapt­ed light- and coo­ling sys­tems, stand-alo­ne or in addi­ti­on to other sys­tems, gua­ran­tee a feel-good atmo­sphe­re. This pro­ofs our abili­ty to sup­p­ly a “One-stop ser­vice”. Opti­mal­ly adapt­ed to the needs of man and envi­ron­ment, the poten­ti­al for appli­ca­ti­on is almost limitless.

INTELLIGENT ANSWERS

We lis­ten, dis­cern and under­stand the needs of our cus­to­mers. Tog­e­ther we find the right ans­wers. It is only natu­ral for us to act respectful­ly, pas­sio­na­te­ly, fle­xi­bly, relia­ble and in their best interest.

INTELLIGENT CRAFT

We are able to achie­ve the hig­hest pos­si­ble qua­li­ty, func­tion­a­li­ty and effi­ci­en­cy, as well as the best design by app­ly­ing the hig­hest pos­si­ble stan­dards during the pro­duc­tion pro­cess and using high-qua­li­ty mate­ri­als for our part­ly hand­craf­ted pro­ducts. Only by doing that can we set the bench­mark on a glo­bal level.
