History | TIKI

 History

It all started in 1951 with the Technical Institute of Metalworking Industry (Tehnični inštitut kovinske industrije – TIKI) in Ljubljana.

State-of-the-art engineering knowledge has been combined with innovative production solutions ever since. In 1955, Tiki becomes a synonym for water heaters in the former Yugoslavia. Already at that time, Slovenian solutions are known for their economy and amazing design. In 1978, when Tiki becomes part of the Gorenje Group, innovative solutions push back boundaries. Water heaters are joined by hot water heat pumps.

2020

Tiki enters 2020 with residential heat pumps.

2019

In 2019 Tiki becomes a part of the global Swedish corporation NIBE Industrier, which conserves the trademark, expressing respect to the Slovenian tradition – and the global vision!

2015

Since 2015 Tiki has been producing over half a million appliances per year for homes all around the globe.

2010

Since 2010 production has been located in Serbia.

2000

After Slovenia gains its independence in 1991, Tiki loses several markets in the former Yugoslavia. Consolidation with the help of the Slovenian Development Corporation lasted almost a decade, but by 2000 Tiki successfully shifted its focus to various new European markets.

1983

Already in 1983, Tiki places its bets on the heat pump. The Naš čas weekly newspaper instructed its readers that the heat pump is “intended for economic heating of domestic water, which, compared to the electric boiler, consumes three times less electric energy”.

1978

Tiki becomes part of the Gorenje Group.

1961

On the company’s tenth anniversary the director announces, in line with the values of the time and the society, “We have fulfilled our obligation to the society and the working man”. In the tenth year of the company’s existence, its realisation was 55 times higher than in the year of its founding. Moreover, in the “second five years” from 1956 to 1960, the income per employee increased by as much as ten times!

1956

In 1956, the production of electric heaters is entirely industrialised. An important part of the production is a reconstructed 110-tonne hydraulic press for the heater linings.

1955

At first Tiki produced various products, from transformers and thermostats, to hot welding devices and irrigation device pipes, to electric heaters. But already in 1955, the “study of typification of various electric water heaters” becomes their priority.

1952

After the post-war administrative management of companies and the termination of directorates, and based on the “Fundamental decree on institutions with independent financing", the name Technical Institute of Metalworking Industry (Tehnični inštitut kovinske industrije, TIKI) appears for the first time in June 1952.

1951

On 1st January 1951, works began literally under the open sky. Later, the works took place under a tarpaulin used for covering carriages, and finally, works commenced in a makeshift 25 m long wooden barrack.
