Backer Hotwatt, established in 1952, a leader in manufacturing resistance heating elements for over 65 years, began with the manufacturing of one product, the open coil heating element. Since then, Backer Hotwatt has expanded our product line to include cartridge, air process, immersion, strip and finned strip, tubular and finned tubular, band, foil, flexible glasrope®, crankcase and ceramic heaters. We have evolved from a large supplier of the appliance industry to become a quality supplier to a variety of OEM’s in the industrial, medical, commercial, packaging, instrumentation, aviation, transportation, refrigeration/air conditioning and military fields. In addition, we can supply compatible accessory items, which enable us to offer a complete heater system.
