Thermory Saunas
Thermory Celebrates 25 Years
Thermory is a brand that has set its sights on dominating the wood industry by providing high-quality, sustainable, and expertly modified hard and soft woods. Founded by Meelis Kajandu in the late 1990s, the brand was born out of a frustration with the state of the wood industry and a commitment to sustainability.
Ambition and drive led Meelis to thermal modification, a process that involved customizing chambers and mastering the process to create long-lasting, beautiful products that meet the real needs of customers. After about a decade, Mark Challinor and Kevin Demars recognized the need for these superior wood materials in the US and connected with Meelis, resulting in Thermory as it is today.
