Over 65 years ago the Wiarton Town Council of Wiarton, Ontario Canada sent invitation letters to Chambers of Commerce in Germany. As luck would have it, a German entrepreneur by the name of Hans Heidolph Sr. owned a company that sought to expand into North America. Upon receipt of the letter, he decided to include the town in his expedition to find a location on the North American continent. In 1954, Hans Heidolpn Sr. decided on Wiarton. He purchased property and an old factory which he refurbished. His initial intent was to continue the Heidolph motor-winding business in this new location and he named the company “Canadian Fractional Motors”. Years later, the name was shortened and Caframo Ltd came into being. Today Caframo is a privately-owned Canadian manufacturer founded on the sunny shores of Georgian Bay, Ontario in the original location found by Hans Heidolph Sr. In keeping with our history, our company is committed to quality and craftsmanship and is the industry leader in specialty fans, heaters, and thermoelectric fans and lighting. Born out of our commitment is Seekr, an acclaimed line of premium fans and heaters designed, d and built by Caframo for the recreational boat and RV user. Seekr products are renown for providing enhanced comfort and protection against extreme weather conditions. As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of 12V and 24V fans, SEEKR products are found in boats and RVs of all sizes across the globe, allowing users to cruise in comfort and maximize their enjoyment both on the water and off the grid. Caframo is equally committed to community as it is to designing and building product. Corporately the company supports community initiatives, non-profit organizations and service clubs in Wiarton, Georgian Bluffs, Owen Sound and surrounding areas in Grey and Bruce Counties. In addition to Caframo’s corporate giving, since 2000, our employees have selected one local charity each year to support through fundraising efforts as a group.
