Dudley Hussong, Chairman of the Board, established Kozy Heat® during 1976 in
his father’s millwork shop in southern Minnesota. The first
Kozy Heat was a wood burning fireplace that was created as a
more efficient way to heat the shop during the fuel embargo.
He then teamed up with a local masonry named Roland Koster.
Dudley knew about metal and Roland knew about brick. Together
they knew what it took to build a fireplace. The word spread
around town and a local contractor later persuaded Hussong to
build another, and then another, for local homes. Kozy Heat
soon became known as a high-quality, energy-efficient home-heating
supplement. Within two years, Kozy Heat was selling fireplaces
throughout Minnesota via distribution channels.
Jim Hussong, President, joined his father full time in 1984. The two
became a team - Jim concentrating on expanding the sales and
marketing division, whereas Dudley remained researching
and developing new products. Together they have created
distribution and representation nationwide with a full product
line of both wood and gas fireplaces.
Throughout
the expansion of the company and changes in products, the
commitment to quality and efficiency remained constant. Kozy
Heat is proud to offer a product based on quality versus quantity.
