Escea is a classic New Zealand success story. Beginning in Dunedin in 2002, Escea's founders, Nigel Bamford, Alan McGregor and Garth Milmine, started with a single idea: that a fireplace should not only be efficient and easy to use, but should also be a thing of remarkable beauty.
Since then, Escea has become a well-established industry leader in the design, manufacture and export of leading-edge indoor and outdoor gas and wood fireplaces. Our fireplaces are renowned for their modern, minimalist styling, heating efficiency and ease of use.
In recent years, business growth has been dramatic, and we currently export our award-winning designs all over the world, including to Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Escea's rapid success, which has seen the company grow from having no employees to a full-time staff of over 50, has been recognised through a number of industry awards. For three years in a row, the company featured as one of New Zealand's 50 fastest growing companies (Deloitte Fast 50 Index), as well as being the recipient of Westpac Otago Chamber of Commerce Awards.
