SPHEREHOT
DEDICATED TO ELECTRICAL HEATING SINCE 1930

THE PIONEER

SPHEREHOT, synonymous with domestic appliances and electrical heating, got its name from the first SPHERICALLY shaped instantaneous water heater that was pioneered by Mr Kantilal Doshi as far back as 1930 in Mumbai.

The Second World War gave the boost as per the necessity to the SPHEREHOT to add the other heating appliances like Domestic Irons, Hot Plates, Laundry Irons etc for the FIRST time in India.

The Power shortage gave another opportunity of introducing the Electric Storage Water Heaters in the post Second World War period enlarging the scope of Water Heaters from Mumbai to all over India. For this purpose, it required a larger factory premise. As a result, a new factory was constructed in the year 1959 at Udhna-Surat (Gujarat).

Imports of components getting more and more diffficult, vigorous R & D efforts were put up to produce the vital components like Thermostat Controls and Electrical Tubular Sheathed Heating Elements also for the FIRST time in India.

The scope of Electrical Tubular Sheathed Heating Elements for appliances expanded for the industries offering the import substitutes to the industries.

The activity of export of Electric Storage Water Heaters was started in the year 1963 - the FIRST export of Water Heaters made from India to Kuwait.

SPHEREHOT has been exporting the Electrical Water Heaters, Appliances, Heating Elements and thermostats to various countries since more than three decades.

The growth continued resulting into establishment of a new independent unit having manufacturing facilities for Electric Water Heaters at Ankleshwar in the year 1981.

For the Electrical Tubular Sheathed Heating Elements, the stainless steel and nickel alloy tubes were imported by this time. As a policy of producing the vital parts in the Group, the Tube Forming and Welding Mill was imported and the producing of corrosion resistant nickel alloy tubes started at Ankleshwar.

The INSTANT GAS WATER HEATER which was introduced by us for the FIRST time in India in the year 1985.

The economic growth, supported by Liberalised Import Policy, prompted our own Marketing Division of Domestic Water Heaters and Appliances, an addition to the range.

The high standards of qualities of SPHEREHOT range of products coupled with quick delivery established the confidence of the industrial customers. The demand of the various industrial customers from a wide spectrum of industries boomed up to expand our range of industrial electric heaters and electrical heating systems.

SPHEREHOT has already been on the approved list of all the leading Engineering Consultants. In the process, International Testing Authorities were deputed by the industrial customers/consultants and many International Testing Authorities had been regularly visiting for testing and approvals.

Today, SPHEREHOT caters to almost all the industries and customers - the list of Indian industrial customers and Research Institutes looks like who is who in the Indian industry.

In the field of Industrial Electrical Heating, SPHEREHOT is second to none in India and have also been getting into the technical collaboration with the leading companies of the world, whenever required.

Rich experience of in-house manufacturing gained by continuous R & D efforts has made it very easy to increase the range of products and develop the imported substitutes.
