Nippa

Nippa®, founded by Leo Nippa in 1930 in Bruce Crossing Michigan in the heart of the North American Sauna Belt. Nippa is proud to be the oldest sauna stove manufacturer in North America and the second oldest globally.  Leo’s stove design incorporated innovative techniques which promoted a legacy around strength and efficiency that even in today’s high tech world remains unmatched. By rolling the firebox (to prevent the ever-so-common warping found in other sauna stoves), resulting in fewer welds being needed during the manufacturing process created the strength of his stove. Leo also incorporated a baffle system so you didn’t lose your precious heat up your chimney. Although newer innovations have been incorporated throughout the years, the uncompromised original techniques are still used today.

NEE-pa. The Nippa family changed the spelling of their last name when immigrating to the United States, from Niipa to Nippa, but the pronunciation remains the same.
