About STOVES

A Global Brand

February 14th 1920 - They say that the way to a person's heart is through their stomach, so perhaps that's why Stoves was formed on Valentine’s Day. Originally a manufacturer of sheet metal and gas heaters, the owners recognised that a revolution was happening in British kitchens and a growing interest in the art of cookery. Stoves relocated from Warrington to its current manufacturing facility in Rainhill Prescot in 1925. A former World War I munitions site, the new larger premises allowed Stoves to apply its manufacturing expertise and access to quality materials to cookers. 1937 - Stoves had developed an extensive range of cookers and was exhibiting at the British Industries Fair on a site that would eventually become home to the National Exhibition Centre (NEC). Products at this time included the "Bakerloo", "New home", "Reliable" and "Kitchenette" models. As rationing continued into the early fifties, the 'New home' model remained popular with economical homemakers and Stoves continued to attend exhibitions throughout the UK. Stoves launched a collection of products which included several innovative firsts, such as a hotplate ignition button and the first self-cleaning oven lining. One of the most popular products was the New Home Cabaret. The New home continued to rise in popularity and took pride of place in kitchens up and down the UK. Stoves became part of a newly formed company - New home-Veritas – and then subsequently Valour, which was looking to diversify from heating appliances. By the end of the 90's the brand had the most comprehensive range of cookers on the market and Innovations continued to emerge with introduction of the unique, high spec Rotostar collection - the world’s first and only range of fanned gas product of built-in gas ovens. The only built-in oven of its type on the market, Stoves Rotostar technology won much acclaim when it was launched. 2018 sees Stoves leading the way in Deluxe Range Cooker innovation once again, introducing the first Deluxe Range Cooker with Bluetooth® connectivity; elevated Panglide™ pan supports, Pro-Trac™ double extension telescopic sliders, advanced touch-slide induction precision control knobs and the Quad Oven Proflex™ Cavity Splitter, which transforms the 900mm three oven Deluxe Range Cooker into four ovens.
