DRU Fireplaces Canada
Dru fireplaces used to carry many gas fireplaces in Canada about 30 years ago. They started manufacturing since 1760’s in Netherlands. Name of the company is called De Koninklijke Diepenbrock en Reigers of Ulft or, in short, DRU.
It all started out as a blast furnace, producing numerous products from cast iron. Their pots and pans are still well known today. When natural gas was discovered in the Netherlands at the beginning of the 1960s, DRU switched to producing gas fires and wall heaters. Their company is now one of the oldest industrial companies in the Netherlands.
