Year of birth
Manufacturer and supplier of electric heating for over 100 years. Since its founding in 1917, Beha has developed into a renowned brand and a fixture within the Norwegian market for electrical household appliances and heating solutions.
The story of Beha began in 1917 in Floodeløkka, Porsgrunn, where the young engineer Carl Eugene Berg-Hanssen from Kongsberg founded his first electrical factory. What started as a modest enterprise steadily grew into a leading player in the Norwegian market for electrical household appliances.
In its early years, the company operated under the name Berg Hanssen Elektriske Fabrikker. As the enterprise continued to grow, the brand name Behaemerged in 1923, formed from the first letters of the founder. A year later, in 1924, the company moved to the iconic Beha-gården — a location that formed the beating heart of BEHA's production and innovation for decades.
Since its founding, quality has been the common thread throughout Beha's history. This philosophy is not only visible in the products themselves, but also in the way they are developed, produced, and tested. Every generation BEHAproducts builds upon the knowledge and experience of the previous one.
More than a hundred years of technical knowledge, practical experience, and product development form the basis of the current product range. This rich heritage still forms the foundation of the company today. With respect for its history, Beha continues to invest in the development of modern, energy-efficient, and user-friendly heating solutions.
In 1973, BEHA built one of the most automated production facilities in the electric heating sector in Heistad. Thanks to smart production processes, the factory can efficiently scale up to large production volumes — with consistent quality.
The specifications speak for themselves: 120,000 pieces per shift production capacity, lean setup for optimal flow, roll forming machine for precision parts, automated bending line, and automated packaging line. Independent NEMKO and SEMKO certification guarantees that every BEHAheater meets the highest Scandinavian safety and quality standards.
From the first electric heater produced in 1917 to today's extensive range, Beha has come a long way. By now, more than 10 million Behaproducts have found their way into homes, offices, schools, and businesses worldwide.
At Beha quality has been at the heart of everything for over a century. Product development is viewed as a continuous process in which innovation, ease of use, and reliability are constantly improved. Through close collaboration with installers, dealers, and end users, Beha continues to align its offerings with market needs — today, and for future generations.
