By 1988, a decision was made to diversify into the manufacture of gas-fired versions of Stovax stoves and a separate company, Gazco Ltd was formed to develop and produce them. Today, as sister companies, Stovax and Gazco continue to work very closely together. Each company has constantly developed its product range such that the combined businesses have grown to become one of Europe\u2019s leading manufacturers of stoves and fires, with exports to countries worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>In 2006, Stovax Ltd purchased <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yeomanstoves.co.uk\/\" title=\"Yeoman stoves\">Yeoman<\/a>, a long established manufacturer of wood burning stoves which specialised in more rustic, rural styling. The company continues to produce a distinctive and separate range of wood burning, multi-fuel, gas and electric stoves and fires under the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yeomanstoves.co.uk\/\" title=\"Yeoman stoves\">Yeoman<\/a> brand.<\/p>\n<p>Stovax is also the UK and Republic of Ireland distributor for a number of additional fireplaces and stove brands including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dovre.co.uk\/\" title=\"Dovre\">Dovre<\/a>, &amp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nordpeis.co.uk\/\" title=\"Nordpeis\">Nordpeis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can find your nearest retailer in the UK and the Republic of Ireland by using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stovax.com\/find-a-retailer\">Find a Retailer<\/a> option on this website.<\/p>\n<p>For information on distributors in other countries please contact <a title=\"Email export department\" href=\"mailto:&#101;&#120;&#112;&#111;&#114;&#116;sale&#115;&#64;&#115;tovax.&#99;&#111;&#109;\">e&#120;po&#114;tsa&#108;e&#115;&#64;&#115;&#116;&#111;&#118;&#97;x&#46;co&#109;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>The Future<\/h2>\n<p>With the depletion of fossil fuels and unprecedented increases in their costs, wood is already being accepted as an economic, renewable and carbon neutral energy source.
