Historical milestones
It all started in 1951 with the Technical Institute of Metal Industry (TIKI) in Ljubljana. In 1955, Tiki became synonymous with water heaters in the former Yugoslavia. When Tiki became part of the Gorenje Group in 1978, heat-sanitizing pumps joined the heaters. In July 2006, the purchase of part of the company LIFAM (Livnica i Fabrika of Agro-Mechanization) began the process of relocating production to Stara Pazova. In January 2007, the first water heater made of semi-finished products, manufactured at the Ljubljana factory, was assembled in Stara Pazova. In autumn 2007, a comprehensive process has already started in Stara Pazova, from boiler welding to enamelling. By the end of 2010, the entire production of Tiki devices had moved to Stara Pazova. Since 2019, Tiki has been part of the global Swedish corporation NIBE Industrier.
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.
